Groovy 4.0.0 adds SQL-like querying Groovy 4.0.0 has arrived as a production release. The latest upgrade to the JVM-based language introduces new SQL-like query capabilities, sealed types, and switch expressions. GINQ, also known as Groovy-integrated Query or GQuery, is an incubating feature in Groovy 4.0.0. It supports querying collections in a SQL-like style. This might involve lists or maps, domain objects, or collections returned when processing such as JSON, XML, and other structured data. In a future version of Groovy, plans call for GQuery support for SQL databases where an optimized SQL query is generated based on the GQuery expression.

Microsoft publishes Java roadmap for Visual Studio Code Looking to bolster the appeal of Visual Studio Code to Java developers, Microsoft has published a roadmap for bringing new Java-related capabilities to the code editor. Among the goals is making it easier to migrate to VS Code from other Java IDEs. There are now more than 1.5 million Java developers using the code editor, Microsoft said. Several areas of investment have been designated for 2022, including the “inner loop” development experience, cloud-native development, build tools, performance and reliability, and other aspects of the user experience. [ Also on InfoWorld: Build a Java application in Visual Studio Code ] For inner loop development, improved code completion intelligence and optimization for common cases are planned, along with better code snippet generation and shortcuts based on user preference. Code completion performance improvements are eyed, as well. Planned debugging improvements include virtual thread support, debug for compiled classes, faster evaluation in variable views, and lambda expression valuation.

Python nabs programming language of the year honors For the second consecutive year, Python has been named TIobe’s programming language of the year, a distinction the company awards to the language with the highest increase in ratings – or popularity – for the year 2021. Python’s year-over-year increase in popularity was 1.86 percent, according to Tiobe, with a year-end rating of 13.58 percent in the Tiobe index. Tiobe noted this was still far below Java’s all-time record of 26.49 percent achieved in 2001. Tiobe said C# was on its way to becoming the language of the year but was surpassed by Python in the last month.

Project Valhalla tees up Java object model improvements OpenJDK’s Project Valhalla, which explores advanced Java language and JVM feature possibilities, is moving forward with a staged delivery of value objects, primitive objects, and unification of basic primitives. [ Also on InfoWorld: JDK 18: What to expect in Java 18 ] Overall, the ambitious Valhalla project is intended to heal a rift between primitives and objects. The three key capabilities, cited in a December 2021 blog post, “The State of Valhalla” by Brian Goetz, Java language architect at Oracle, are described in JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEP) currently pending in the OpenJDK community. Those three capabilities are: To read this article in full, please click here Читать: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3646092/project-valhalla-tees-up-java-object-model-improvements.html#tk.rss_java

What app developers need to do now to fight Log4j exploits Earlier this month, security researchers uncovered a series of major vulnerabilities in the Log4j Java software that is used in tens of thousands of web applications. The code is widely used across consumer and enterprise systems, in everything from Minecraft, Steam, and iCloud to Fortinet and Red Hat systems. One analyst estimate millions of endpoints could be at risk. Log4j is just the latest in a series of software supply chain attacks, including SolarWinds (which had a compromised build process) and Kaseya (where attackers had substituted malware-laced code).

Hands-on with Dropwizard REST APIs Dropwizard is a REST-oriented framework that draws together several Java packages into a cohesive whole. It is an alternative to Spring (and Spring’s WebMVC package). Dropwizard delivers a more streamlined experience. It adopts even more configuration by convention than Spring, and eliminates most of the API surface that is unrelated specifically to delivering REST APIs. [ Also on InfoWorld: Build a Java application in Visual Studio Code ] Start a new Dropwizard project Let’s begin by scaffolding a new project via the official Dropwizard Maven archetype. Find a comfortable place on your local system, and from the command line, enter the command in Listing 1.

Why SBOM management is no longer optional As with many zero-day vulnerabilities, organizations are scrambling to identify and remediate the impact of the Log4Shell vulnerability in Log4j. This particular vulnerability is extraordinarily dangerous because it was found in a pervasive library and is easy to exploit. One critical element here is that it was already being actively exploited before details were made public, making time of the essence. Once security and application teams catch their collective breath after round-the-clock remediation efforts, they will conduct retrospectives and reviews to identify ways to better prepare for the next zero-day vulnerability, because there will be a next one. In this new environment, the software bill of materials (SBOM) is becoming a vital security imperative that enables visibility as software moves across the supply chain. Organizations must act now to establish a critical new capability: SBOM management.

How developers scrambled to secure the Log4j vulnerability Last weekend, the internet caught fire, and it is still unclear just how many developers with fire extinguishers will be needed to bring it under control. There was a set of first responders on the scene, however: largely unpaid maintainers or developers working in their spare time to patch vulnerabilities, issue guidance, and provide some much-needed clarity among the chaos. On December 9, the Apache Foundation released an emergency update for a critical zero-day vulnerability called Log4Shell which had been identified in Log4j, an open source logging framework used in all kinds of Java applications. The bug, identified as CVE-2021-44228, allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on any system that uses the Log4j library to write out log messages. It was immediately rated with the maximum severity of 10 on the CVSS scale.

Azul brings Java compilation to the cloud Java software provider Azul is unveiling Cloud Native Compiler, a cloud-based compilation service aimed at improving the performance and startup times for JVMs. Performance is boosted for JVM-based languages including Java, Scala, Kotlin, Clojure, Groovy, and JRuby, the company said. Launched as part of the Azul Intelligence Cloud platform on December 15, Cloud Native Compiler scales up and down and reuses previously optimized compilations across JVMs to boost the performance of all JVMs to which it connects. Compatible with all Java applications, Cloud Native Compiler decouples just-in-time (JIT) compilation from the JVM and works in conjunction with Azul’s Platform Prime Java runtime, which had been known as Zing.
