How to create a stream from an iterator in java 8
Hi guys! In this post I’ll show you how to convert a java iterator to a java 8 stream. The code is really simple:
|
1 2 3 4 |
public static <T> Stream<T> iteratorToStream(final Iterator<T> iterator, final boolean parallell) { Iterable<T> iterable = () -> iterator; return StreamSupport.stream(iterable.spliterator(), parallell); } |
Just copy paste this static method in any class you like. It’s generic so you can use this method for all types of iterators. Enjoy!
How to fix Unirest General SSLEngine problem
I tried to post data to a rest service using Unirest (unirest.io). But when I tried to post to an HTTPS url, I got the following error:
|
1 2 3 |
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: General SSLEngine problem PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target |
To fix this, you could use the following code:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
private CloseableHttpAsyncClient createSSLClient() { TrustStrategy acceptingTrustStrategy = new TrustStrategy() { @Override public boolean isTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1) throws CertificateException { return true; } }; SSLContext sslContext = null; try { sslContext = SSLContexts.custom().loadTrustMaterial(null, acceptingTrustStrategy).build(); } catch (Exception e) { LOGGER.error("Could not create SSLContext"); } return HttpAsyncClients.custom() .setHostnameVerifier(SSLConnectionSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER) .setSSLContext(sslContext).build(); } |
Then, you need to execute the code below before using Unirest itself:
|
1 |
Unirest.setAsyncHttpClient(createSSLClient()); |
Hopefully this works for you too. Enjoy
