Class Functions


  • @Deprecated
    public class Functions
    extends java.lang.Object
    Deprecated.
    This class provides utility functions, and classes for working with the java.util.function package, or more generally, with Java 8 lambdas. More specifically, it attempts to address the fact that lambdas are supposed not to throw Exceptions, at least not checked Exceptions, AKA instances of Exception. This enforces the use of constructs like:
     
         Consumer<java.lang.reflect.Method> consumer = m -> {
             try {
                 m.invoke(o, args);
             } catch (Throwable t) {
                 throw Functions.rethrow(t);
             }
         };
     

    By replacing a Consumer<O> with a FailableConsumer<O,? extends Throwable>, this can be written like follows:

     
       Functions.accept((m) -> m.invoke(o,args));
     

    Obviously, the second version is much more concise and the spirit of Lambda expressions is met better than the second version.

      • rethrow

        public static java.lang.RuntimeException rethrow​(java.lang.Throwable throwable)
        Deprecated.
        Rethrows a Throwable as an unchecked exception. If the argument is already unchecked, namely a RuntimeException or Error then the argument will be rethrown without modification. If the exception is IOException then it will be wrapped into a UncheckedIOException. In every other cases the exception will be wrapped into a UndeclaredThrowableException

        Note that there is a declared return type for this method, even though it never returns. The reason for that is to support the usual pattern:

         throw rethrow(myUncheckedException);

        instead of just calling the method. This pattern may help the Java compiler to recognize that at that point an exception will be thrown and the code flow analysis will not demand otherwise mandatory commands that could follow the method call, like a return statement from a value returning method.

        Parameters:
        throwable - The throwable to rethrow possibly wrapped into an unchecked exception
        Returns:
        Never returns anything, this method never terminates normally.

        Parameters:
        runnable - The runnable to run

      • tryWithResources

        @SafeVarargs
        public static void tryWithResources​(Functions.FailableRunnable<? extends java.lang.Throwable> action,
                                            Functions.FailableConsumer<java.lang.Throwable,​? extends java.lang.Throwable> errorHandler,
                                            Functions.FailableRunnable<? extends java.lang.Throwable>... resources)
        Deprecated.
        A simple try-with-resources implementation, that can be used, if your objects do not implement the AutoCloseable interface. The method executes the action. The method guarantees, that all the resources are being executed, in the given order, afterwards, and regardless of success, or failure. If either the original action, or any of the resource action fails, then the first failure (AKA Throwable) is rethrown. Example use:
         
             final FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("my.file");
             Functions.tryWithResources(useInputStream(fis), null, () -> fis.close());
         
        Parameters:
        action - The action to execute. This object will always be invoked.
        errorHandler - An optional error handler, which will be invoked finally, if any error occurred. The error handler will receive the first error, AKA Throwable.
        resources - The resource actions to execute. All resource actions will be invoked, in the given order. A resource action is an instance of Functions.FailableRunnable, which will be executed.
