Creating Grammar Parsers in Java and Scala with Parboiled

Sun, 26 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0100

Parboiled is a modern. lightweight and easy to use library to parse expression grammars in Java or Scala and in my humble opinion it is perfect for use cases where you need something between regular expressions and a complex parser generator like ANTLR.

In the following tutorial we’re going to create a simple grammar to specify a task list and write an implementation of a parser also as unit tests for each grammar rule in Java.

Micro Benchmarking your Tests using JUnit and JUnitBenchmarks

Sun, 10 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0100

I recently stumbled upon a nice framework that allows to convert simple JUnit tests into micro benchmarks named JUnitBenchmarks.

It allows to set basic benchmark options and and to generate charts by adding some simple annotations and a test rule to your tests.

One might argue if it is wise to mix the aspects, testing and benchmarking and I’d agree for sure – nevertheless I think this framework can be handy sometimes so let’s create some benchmarks using JUnit and JUnitBenchmarks..

Using Apache Camel with Scala and the Camel Scala DSL

Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0100

Whenever I encounter a situation where I have to mix a blend of different services and endpoints and apply one or more of the traditional enterprise integration patterns then Apache Camel often is my weapon of choice.

I simply love how easy it is to set up some datasources, add some routing magic, data transformers, load balancers, content enrichers and enjoy the result.

Another thing that I’m beginning to love is Scala and so this is the perfect time to write an article about using Scala and Apache Camel together.

Lucene Snippets: Faceting Search

Tue, 28 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0200

The latest snippet from my Lucene examples demonstrates how to achieve a facet search using the Lucene 4.0 API and how easy it is to define multiple category paths to aggregate search results for different possible facets.

In the following example we’re indexing some books as a classical example and create multiple category paths for author, publication date and category afterwards ..

Lucene Dependencies

We simply need two dependencies here .. lucene-core of course and in addition the lucene-facet library .. I’ve added the declarations needed for Maven and SBT here .. if you’re using Gradle or Buildr you should’t have a problem to transfer the information needed ;)
