- 32. 32 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 33. New I/O 2 (NIO2) Libraries JSR 203 • Original Java I/O APIs presented challenges for developers • Not designed to be extensible • Many methods do not throw exceptions as expected • rename() method works inconsistently • Developers want greater access to file metadata • Java NIO2 solves these problems 33 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 34. Java NIO2 Features • Path is a replacement for File • Biggest impact on developers • Better directory support • list() method can stream via iterator • Entries can be filtered using regular expressions in API • Symbolic link support • java.nio.file.Filesystem • interface to a filesystem (FAT, ZFS, Zip archive, network, etc) • java.nio.file.attribute package • Access to file metadata 34 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 35. Path Class • Equivalent of java.io.File in the new API – Immutable • Have methods to access and manipulate Path • Few ways to create a Path – From Paths and FileSystem //Make a reference to the path Path home = Paths.get(“/home/fred”); //Resolve tmp from /home/fred -> /home/fred/tmp Path tmpPath = home.resolve(“tmp”); //Create a relative path from tmp -> .. Path relativePath = tmpPath.relativize(home) File file = relativePath.toFile(); 35 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 36. File Operation – Copy, Move • File copy is really easy – With fine grain control Path src = Paths.get(“/home/fred/readme.txt”); Path dst = Paths.get(“/home/fred/copy_readme.txt”); Files.copy(src, dst, StandardCopyOption.COPY_ATTRIBUTES, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING); • File move is supported – Optional atomic move supported Path src = Paths.get(“/home/fred/readme.txt”); Path dst = Paths.get(“/home/fred/readme.1st”); Files.move(src, dst, StandardCopyOption.ATOMIC_MOVE); 36 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 37. Directories • DirectoryStream iterate over entries – Scales to large directories – Uses less resources – Smooth out response time for remote file systems – Implements Iterable and Closeable for productivity • Filtering support – Build-in support for glob, regex and custom filters Path srcPath = Paths.get(“/home/fred/src”); try (DirectoryStream<Path> dir = srcPath.newDirectoryStream(“*.java”)) { for (Path file: dir) System.out.println(file.getName()); } 37 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 38. Concurrency APIs • JSR166y • Update to JSR166x which was an update to JSR166 • Adds a lightweight task framework • Also referred to as Fork/Join • Phaser • Barrier similar to CyclicBarrier and CountDownLatch • TransferQueue interface • Extension to BlockingQueue • Implemented by LinkedTransferQueue 38 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 39. Fork Join Framework • Goal is to take advantage of multiple processor • Designed for task that can be broken down into smaller pieces – Eg. Fibonacci number fib(10) = fib(9) + fib(8) • Typical algorithm that uses fork join if I can manage the task perform the task else fork task into x number of smaller/similar task join the results 39 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 40. Key Classes • ForkJoinPool – Executor service for running ForkJoinTask • ForkJoinTask – The base class for forkjoin task • RecursiveAction – A subclass of ForkJoinTask – A recursive resultless task – Implements compute() abstract method to perform calculation • RecursiveTask – Similar to RecursiveAction but returns a result 40 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 41. ForkJoin Example – Fibonacci public class Fibonacci extends RecursiveTask<Integer> { private final int number; public Fibonacci(int n) { number = n; } @Override protected Integer compute() { switch (number) { case 0: return (0); case 1: return (1); default: Fibonacci f1 = new Fibonacci(number – 1); Fibonacci f2 = new Fibonacci(number – 2); f1.fork(); f2.fork(); return (f1.join() + f2.join()); } } } 41 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 42. ForkJoin Example – Fibonacci ForkJoinPool pool = new ForkJoinPool(); Fibonacci r = new Fibonacci(10); pool.submit(r); while (!r.isDone()) { //Do some work ... } System.out.println("Result of fib(10) = " + r.get()); 42 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 43. Client Libraries • Nimbus Look and Feel • Platform APIs for shaped and translucent windows • JLayer (formerly from Swing labs) • Optimised 2D rendering 43 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 44. Nimbus Look and Feel • Better than Metal for cross platform look-and-feel • Introduced in Java SE 6u10, now part of Swing • Not the default L&F 44 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 45. JLayer component Easy enrichment for Swing components 45 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 46. JLayer component The universal decorator • Transparent decorator for a Swing component • Controls the painting of its subcomponents • Catches all input and focus events for the whole hierarchy // wrap your component with JLayer JLayer<JPanel> layer = new JLayer<JPanel>(panel); // custom ui provides all extra functionality layer.setUI(myLayerUI); // add the layer as usual component frame.add(layer); 46 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 47. The DaVinci Machine Project (JSR-292) (A multi-language renaissance for the JVM) Better 47 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 48. Languages Like Virtual Machines • Programming languages need runtime support • Memory management / Garbage collection • Concurrency control • Security • Reflection • Debugging integration • Standard libraries • Compiler writers have to build these from scratch • Targeting a VM allows reuse of infrastructure 48 Thursday, September 8, 2011

- 51. InvokeDynamic Bytecode • JVM currently has four ways to invoke method • Invokevirtual, invokeinterface, invokestatic, invokespecial • All require full method signature data • InvokeDynamic will use method handle • Effectively an indirect pointer to the method • When dynamic method is first called bootstrap code determines method and creates handle • Subsequent calls simply reference defined handle • Type changes force a re-compute of the method location and an update to the handle • Method call changes are invisible to calling code 51 Thursday, September 8, 2011
- 52. CallSite and MethodHandle • invokedynamic linked to a CallSite – CallSite can be linked or unlinked – CallSite holder of MethodHandle • MethodHandle is a directly executable reference to an underlying method, constructor, field – Can transform arguments and return type – Transformation – conversion, insertion, deletion, substitution 52 Thursday, September 8, 2011
