Lambda Expression JSR-335
• Functional Interfaces: “An interface with one method”
• Gehört zum Sprachumfang von Java SE 8
− Final Release Specification
file:///C:/Java/jsr335-final/index.html
− http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
− http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
• Lambda Expressions (closures)
/* (int x, int y) {return x+y; } */
• Parameter Liste → -> Operator → Expression od. Statements
(String x) -> {return !x.isEmpty();}
• Was hergeleitet werden kann, kann auch weggelassen werden
x -> !x.isEmpty()

Extension Methods
• Provide a mechanism to add new methods to existing interfaces
– Without breaking backwards compatibility
– Gives Java multiple inheritance of behaviour, as well as types
• but not state!
public interface Set<T> extends Collection<T> {
public int size();
... // The rest of the existing Set methods
public T reduce(Reducer<T> r)
default Collections.<T>setReducer;
}

List<Student> students = new ArrayList<>(...);
...
double highestScore =
students.parallelStream()
.filter(s -> s.getGradYear() == 2013)
.map(s -> s.getScore())
.reduce(0.0, Integer::max);
Lambda Expressions – Parallel
State of the Lambda Libraries Edition
.reduce(0.0, Integer::max);
− More readable
− Better abstraction
− No reliance on mutable state
− Runs in parallel
− Works on any data structure that knows how to subdivide itself
Concurrent Bulk Data Operations in Java collections API’s (JEP 107)
− filter/map/reduce

Java Mission Control 5.3

• Information gathering
− Instrumentation calls all over the JVM
− Application information via Java API
• Collected in Thread Local buffers
⇢ Global Buffers ⇢Disk
Java Flight Recorder – How is it built?
⇢ Global Buffers ⇢Disk
• Binary, proprietary file format
• Managed via JMX
• Java Flight Recorder
− Start from JMC 5.3 or CLI
• Activate Flight Recorder

Compact-Profile – New Option for „javac“
• New “javac” option
‒ javac -target 8 -profile Profile
‒ The javac compiler will verify java code against APIs available in profile
‒ $ javac -profile compact1 Hello.java
• New “jar” option
• New “jar” option
‒ jar -profile Profile
‒ Marks jar file with minimum required profile
‒ Main application jar file defines default minimum profile
• Runtime verification of profile
‒ jar files will be validated at startup to ensure minimum profile is running
• “java -version” will report active profile

Project Nashorn
• Lightweight, high-performance JavaScript engine
− Integrated into JRE
• ECMAScript 5.1 compliant JavaScript that runs on the JVM
− Accessible via javax.script API or jjs command line
• Replacement for Rhino
• Exploits JSR-292 via Dynalink
• Fully part of the OpenJDK
• Available on Java SE and Java ME
• Nashorn - Der Weg zur polyglotten VM

Project Nashorn Performance
‒Test app executes Esprima parser and tokenizer
bitbucket.org/ariya/nashorn-speedtest
‒Rhino gets the first chance, Nashorn follows right after, each engine gets 30 runs
In the beginning, Rhino’s first run is 2607 ms and slowly it speeds up and finally this parsing is completed in just 824 ms
‒Nashorn timings have a different characteristic
When it is cold, Nashorn initially takes 5328 ms to carry out the operation but it quickly picks up the pace and imediate,
it starts moving full steam ahead, reaching 208 ms per run
‒Nashorn compiles JavaScript code into Java bytecodes and run them on the JVM itself
‒Nashorn compiles JavaScript code into Java bytecodes and run them on the JVM itself
Nashorn is taking advantage of invokedynamic instruction to permit "efficient and flexible execution" in a dynamic
environment such as JavaScript
