Jul 29, 2015 · 4. Main difference b/w Optional.of and Optional.ofNullable is that if the element wrapped under Optional is null, Optional.of will raise Null pointer exception and will stop further processing of code. whereas, Optional.ofNullable will just ignore null element/object and returns Optional.empty () or NoSuchElementPresent.
Mar 24, 2017 · Optional helps to deal with NullPointerException. You can use it to cast new exceptions as mentioned. MyObject object = Optional.ofNullable(get(sql)).orElseThrow(RuntimeException::new); However, your method get(sql) is not returning NULL, which invalidates the use of OPTIONAL as desired.
Oct 31, 2018 · In Java 8, we have a newly introduced Optional class in java.util package. This class is introduced to avoid NullPointerException that we frequently encounters if we do not perform null checks in our code. Using this class we can easily check whether a variable has null value or not and by doing this we can avoid the NullPointerException.
231. Optional<User>.ifPresent() takes a Consumer<? super User> as argument. You're passing it an expression whose type is void. So that doesn't compile. A Consumer is intended to be implemented as a lambda expression: Optional<User> user = ... user.ifPresent(theUser -> doSomethingWithUser(theUser)); Or even simpler, using a method reference ...
Feb 24, 2018 · Using Optional.filter would be used to filter List instances as per your code snippet. This is not what you want: Optional.of(getSubjects()).filter(predicate) //filters lists, not subjects in lists. Your intention is probably to use the a list of Subject objects, then filter.
Jun 8, 2009 · Optional makes a method contract explicit for a caller, however, one may find such signature too verbose.

Sep 6, 2014 · 15. You only need to register module Jdk8Module. Then it will serialize any Optional<T> as T if it is present or null otherwise. ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper(); objectMapper.registerModule(new Jdk8Module()); Let's modify Test class a bit so we can test for an Optional.empty() value.
May 21, 2014 · Optional<Any> o = Optional.of(...); .ifNotPresent(() -> System.out.println("! isPresent")); Update 1: the above solution for the traditional way of development when you have the value and want to process it but what if I want to define the functionality and the execution will be then, check below enhancement;
Mar 13, 2015 · The key here is the focus on use as a return type. The class is definitively not intended for use as a property of a Java Bean. Witness to this is that Optional does not implement Serializable, which is generally necessary for widespread use as a property of an object. edited Jun 20, 2020 at 9:12. Community Bot.
