Method Reference - Reference to a Constructor example.


This page shows a simple example of Method Reference feature of reference to a construtor:

package com.java2novice.methodreference;

import com.java2novice.lambda.Employee;

public class ConstructorRefEx {

	public static void main(String a[]) {

		EmployeeFactory empFactory = Employee::new;
		Employee emp = empFactory.getEmployee("Nataraja G", "Accounts", 8000);
		System.out.println(emp);
	}
}

Here is EmployeeFactory class:

package com.java2novice.methodreference;

import com.java2novice.lambda.Employee;

public interface EmployeeFactory {

	public abstract Employee getEmployee(String name, String account, Integer salary);
}

Here is Employee POJO class:

package com.java2novice.lambda;

public class Employee {

	private String name;
	private String account;
	private Integer salary;

	public Employee(String name, String account, Integer salary) {
		super();
		this.name = name;
		this.account = account;
		this.salary = salary;
	}

	@Override
	public String toString() {

		return "name: "+ this.name +" | account: "+ this.account +" | salary: "+this.salary;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public String getAccount() {
		return account;
	}

	public void setAccount(String account) {
		this.account = account;
	}

	public Integer getSalary() {
		return salary;
	}

	public void setSalary(Integer salary) {
		this.salary = salary;
	}

What is adapter class?
An adapter class provides the default implementation of all methods in an event listener interface. Adapter classes are very useful when you want to process only few of the events that are handled by a particular event listener interface. You can define a new class by extending one of the adapter classes and implement only those events relevant to you.
Famous Quotations
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
