A complete guide to consuming REST APIs with the Jersey Client API: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE requests, JSON handling, query parameters, headers, authentication, and error handling — with annotated Java code and sample output.
Spring Framework 7 now ships @Retryable and @ConcurrencyLimit in core. Here's what's still Resilience4j's job on Boot 4.1 -- circuit breaker, rate limiter, bounded-wait bulkhead, fallbacks, and dashboards -- plus two build breaks you'll hit getting there.
ETag cache control in a Spring Boot REST API, re-verified on Spring Boot 4.1.1 and Spring Framework 7.0.9: the zero-code ShallowEtagHeaderFilter, deep caching with WebRequest.checkNotModified(), conditional PUT with If-Match, and strong vs weak ETags.
Learn how to convert LocalDate to ZonedDateTime in Java and back: atStartOfDay(), atTime(), UTC conversion, DST-safe patterns, and a real-world date-range query example across timezones — with annotated code and a quick-reference table.
Learn every way to convert LocalDateTime to ZonedDateTime in Java: atZone(), atOffset(), UTC conversion, DST gap and overlap handling, and reverse conversion back to LocalDateTime — with annotated code and a complete reference table.
Build a complete file-upload REST endpoint with Jersey 3.x: single file, multiple files, HTML form testing, curl commands, file-size limits, and a download endpoint. Includes production-hardening tips for cloud storage and MIME validation.
Learn how to add HTTP Basic Auth, JWT Bearer tokens, and role-based access control to Jersey JAX-RS REST APIs. Covers ContainerRequestFilter, SecurityContext, annotations, and Spring Boot integration with annotated Java code.
Build a custom Maven archetype from scratch: create the descriptor, add Velocity-templated source files, install locally, generate a new Spring Boot project from it, and deploy to a team-shared repository. Step-by-step with working code.
Understand the differences between var, let, and const in TypeScript: scope (function vs block), hoisting, the Temporal Dead Zone, re-assignment rules, and TypeScript literal type narrowing — with side-by-side examples and sample output.
Learn how to validate credit card numbers in Java using regular expressions and the Luhn algorithm. Covers Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover patterns, annotated source code, sample output, and JUnit tests.
