Reassigning components Via an explicit canonical/compact constructor we can reassign components. For instance, when we create a MelonRecord we provide its type (for instance, Cantaloupe) and its weight in grams

84. Introducing the canonical and compact constructors for records In the previous problem, we created the MelonRecord Java record and we instantiated it via the following code: MelonRecord melonr =

85. Adding more artifacts in a record So far, we know how to add in a Java record an explicit canonical/compact constructor. What else we can add? Well, for example,
Iterating what we cannot have in a record – Record and record patternIterating what we cannot have in a record – Record and record pattern
86. Iterating what we cannot have in a record There are several artifacts that we cannot have in a Java record. The top 5 list includes:Let’s tackle them one by

87. Defining multiple constructors in a record As you know, when we declare a Java record, the compiler uses the given components to create a default constructor known as the
Understanding records serialization 3 – Record and record patternUnderstanding records serialization 3 – Record and record pattern
Serializing/deserializing gacContainerR (Java record) In a nutshell, the minimalist design of declaring Java records and their semantic constraints allows the serialization/deserialization operations to act differently from a typical Java class.
Understanding records serialization 2 – Record and record patternUnderstanding records serialization 2 – Record and record pattern
Serializing/deserialzing gacContainer (typical Java class) The gacContainer object is an instance of MelonContainer which is a plain Java class. MelonContainer gacContainer = new MelonContainer( LocalDate.now().plusDays(15), “ML9000SQA0”, new Melon(“Gac”, 5000)); After
Understanding records serialization – Record and record patternUnderstanding records serialization – Record and record pattern
89. Understanding records serialization In order to understand how Java records are serialized/deserialized, let’s have a parallel between a classical code based on plain Java classes and the same code
Invoking the canonical constructor via reflection – Record and record patternInvoking the canonical constructor via reflection – Record and record pattern
90. Invoking the canonical constructor via reflection It is not a daily task to invoke the canonical constructor of a Java record via reflection. However, this can be accomplished quite
Introducing record pattern for instanceof 2 – Record and record patternIntroducing record pattern for instanceof 2 – Record and record pattern
In record patterns, it is the compiler’s responsibility to initialize the binding variables such as name and specialty. In order to accomplish this, the compiler calls the accessors of the
