Table Of Contents
Why Java 7? IO and New IO Package(JSR 203) Java programming language(JSR 334) JDBC

Why Java 7?
Provides comprehensive support for file I/O and accessing file system.

Ability to manipulate contents of zip/JAR file.

Try with resources and without catch/ finally.

Strings in switch case.

Ability to catch multiple Exceptions.

IO and New IO package(NIO2)

The java.nio.file package and its related package, java.nio.file.attribute, provide comprehensive support for file I/O and for accessing the file system. A zip file system provider is also available in JDK 7.
URI uri= URI.create("jar:file:/codeSamples/zipfs/zipfstest.zip");

FileSystem fs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(uri, env); Path zipfile = Paths.get("/codeSamples/zipfs/zipfstest.zip"); FileSystem fs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(zipfile, env, null);

 File I/O
Commonly used methods for small files.
readAllBytes(Path) or readAllLines(Path,Charset) write(Path,byte[],OpenOption) or write(Path,Iterable<? extends CharSequence>, Charset,OpenOption)

 Buffered IO methods for text files

Reading a file by using Buffered Stream I/O
newBufferedReader(Path,Charset)

Writing a file by using Buffered Stream I/O

newBufferedWriter(Path,Charset,OpenOption)

Methods for Unbuffered Streams And Interoperable with java APIs

Reading a file by using Stream I/O
newInputStream(Path,OpenOption)

 Creating and Writing a file using Stream I/O

newOutputStream(Path,OpenOption)

Methods for channels and ByteBuffers

Reading and Writing Files By Channel I/O
newByteChannel(Path,OpenOption) newByteChannel(Path, Set<? extends OpenOption>, FileAttribute<?>)

 Method for Creating regular and temporary Files

Creating Files
createFile(Path, FileAttribute<?>)

Creating Temporary Files

createTempFile(Path,String,String,FileAttribute<?>) createTempFile(String,String,FileAttribute<?>)

Java Programming Language/Project Coin

Binary Literals Underscores in Numeric Values String in Switch Statements Type interference for generic instance creation

 Improved Compiler Warnings and Errors when Using Non-Reifiable Formal Parameters with Varargs.

Try with resources statement.

Catching Multiple Exception Type and Rethrowing Exceptions with Improved Type Checking.

JDBC
The ability to use a try-with-resources statement to automatically close resources of type Connection, ResultSet, and Statement. RowSet 1.1: The introduction of the RowSetFactory interface and the RowSetProvider class, which enable you to create all types of rowsets supported by your JDBC driver.

 Types of RowSet.
CachedRowSet
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES"); CachedRowSetImpl crs = new CachedRowSetImpl(); crs.populate(rs); while (crs.next()) { String name = crs.getString(1); }

FilteredRowSet
FilteredRowSet frs = new FilteredRowSetImpl(); frs.populate(rs); Range name = new Range("Alpha", "Bravo"); frs.setFilter(name); frs.next();

 JdbcRowSet
JdbcRowSetImpl jrs = new JdbcRowSetImpl(); jrs.setCommand("SELECT * FROM TITLES"); jrs.setURL("jdbc:myDriver:myAttribute"); jrs.setUsername("cervantes"); jrs.setPassword("sancho"); jrs.execute();

WebRowSet

 JoinRowSet
JoinRowSet jrs = new JoinRowSetImpl(); ResultSet rs1 = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES"); CachedRowSet empl = new CachedRowSetImpl(); empl.populate(rs1); empl.setMatchColumn(1); jrs.addRowSet(empl); ResultSet rs2 = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM OFFICE_BONUS_PLAN"); CachedRowSet bonus = new CachedRowSetImpl(); bonus.populate(rs2); bonus.setMatchColumn(1); jrs.addRowSet(bonus);
