Filtering for your restful webServices

Filters are one of the important features provided by the JAX-RS framework. It is used in various contexts. It may be applied on either request to a resource or the response from a resource, or both.Consider a scenario in which we do not want to show some class members in the response. This process is called filtering. Jackson has two annotations that are used in filtering are: @JsonIgnore and @JsonIgnoreProperties.



@JsonIgnore is used at field level to mark a property or list of properties to be ignored.


import java.io.IOException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnore;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

public class JacksonSampleTest {
   public static void main(String args[]){
      ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
      try{
         Student student = new Student(1,11,"LABORATORY","SAMUEL");       
         String jsonString = mapper
            .writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter()
            .writeValueAsString(student);
         System.out.println(jsonString);
      }
      catch (IOException e) { 
         e.printStackTrace();
      }     
   }
}
class Student { 
   public int id;
   @JsonIgnore
   public String systemId;
   public int rollNo;
   public String name;

   Student(int id, int rollNo, String systemId, String name){
      this.id = id;
      this.systemId = systemId;
      this.rollNo = rollNo;
      this.name = name;
   }
}
{
   "id" : 1,
   "rollNo" : 11,
   "name" : "SAMUEL"
}




@JsonIgnore  is a member or method level annotation. It expects that the properties to be excluded are marked one by one. If we want to eliminate a member from the process of serialization and deserialization, we can annotate the actual property or its setter or getter. 

@JsonIgnoreProperties is a class-level annotation. It ignores the logical properties in JSON serialization and deserialization.

Median of Two Sorted Arrays

  Problem Understanding: In simpler terms, you need to  find the middle value of the combined , sorted array formed by merging nums1 and nums2. If the combined  array has an even number  of elements, you should return the average of the two middle values.  If it has an odd number of elements, you should return the middle value itself. Approach 1: Merge and Sort Create a new array  with a size equal to the total number of elements in both input arrays. Insert elements  from both input arrays into the new array. Sort the new array. Find and return the median of the sorted array. Time Complexity In the worst case TC is  O((n + m) * log(n + m)) . Space Complexity O(n + m) , where ‘n’ and ‘m’ are the sizes of the arrays. Approach 2: Two-Pointer Method Initialize two pointers , i and j, both initially set to 0. Move the pointer  that corresponds to the  smaller value forward at each step. Continue moving the pointers  until you have proce...

Difference between String ,StringBuffer & StringBuilder?

Run this simple java program and create scenerio of String object creation in your mind.You will see huge difference than expectation.                                I would recommend to first try on your own then follow the solution . As you execute the above line of codes in your Java Runtime Environment .As compiler read the lines .In  case of                                      String a= new String("Hello");        As it will allow compiler to create a new string object .It is always mandatory for  compiler to allocate a memory space in heap whenever new  keyword is used.So String class object created successfully in heap with reference variable a.And a very important point  need to be noted down that here  "new String("Hello');"  ...

AngularJs/javascript and Angular/typescript (version 2/4/latest) have a series of difference.

                         AngularJs vs Angular (Typescript)                                                 On basis of process of compilation          ANGULARJS : Angular Js  compiler  traverses the DOM looking for attributes . It takes two phase for compilation where initial phase  traverse the DOM and collect all of the directives. The result is a linking function.   Next  phase evolves combine the directives with a scope and produce a live view. Any changes in the scope model are reflected in the view, and any user interactions with the view are reflected in the scope model. This makes the scope model the single source of truth.
