why not Kotlin 1.3.0?

Maybe in the future but it could not change the answer. Could JPA plugin use

reflection

to change the value of

val

variable? I use Java 8 right now but

reflection

is not pure trick for Java 11 for example.

I think you aren't doing it the right way

take a look: https://kotlinexpertise.com/hibernate-with-kotlin-spring-boot/

I wouldn't use Hibernate with Kotlin but if that is not an option then yes

Spring Boot 🤗

you can ue Jooq with Spring Boot

I'm not against Spring Boot I just don't think Hibernate is a good library

take a look https://www.jooq.org/doc/3.11/manual/getting-started/jooq-and-kotlin/

I've been using jOOQ and have found it to be excellent overall.

I really didn't like it, i don't think I've yet come across an abstration on top of sql that didn't end up being a pain to work with after a while

I'm addicted to jOOQ... I wish I had never found it sometimes 🙂

then you shouldn't start programming in Kotlin.....

you'll get addicted fast 😄

#exposed is pretty nice

I always use JDBI when I need to do SQL stuff in Java/Kotlin, can't recommend it enough

I was literally about to say

Can vote for jooq too, I find it amazing. Its more work than an ORM for sure but it does not feel as stupid as plain strings with JDBC. Its just the right way to go for me for a production project that should live long.

If you love ORMs and dont find them anoyying, go for Hibernate or try you luck with Exposed if your stuff is simple

I also use jooq and it's pretty fantastic. The only problem I've encountered with it so far is some compatibility issues across dialects. I generate code from psql and it's impossible to re-use it in an sqlite database. Perhaps that's a rare use case though

hi guys, need some help, first try with ktor, getting the sample template from intellij plugin and with the starter code the app crash.

package com.example

import io.ktor.application.*
import io.ktor.response.*
import io.ktor.request.*
import io.ktor.routing.*
import io.ktor.http.*
import io.ktor.gson.*
import io.ktor.features.*
import io.ktor.client.*
import io.ktor.client.features.json.*
import io.ktor.client.request.*
import java.net.URL
import kotlinx.coroutines.*

fun main(args: Array<String>): Unit = io.ktor.server.netty.EngineMain.main(args)

@Suppress("unused") // Referenced in application.conf
@kotlin.jvm.JvmOverloads
fun Application.module(testing: Boolean = false) {
    install(ContentNegotiation) {
        gson {
        }
    }

    val client = HttpClient() {
        install(JsonFeature) {
            serializer = GsonSerializer()
        }
    }
    runBlocking {
//         Sample for making a HTTP Client request
//        /*
//        val message = <http://client.post|client.post><JsonSampleClass> {
//            url(URL("<http://127.0.0.1:8080/path/to/endpoint>"))
//            contentType(ContentType.Application.Json)
//            body = JsonSampleClass(hello = "world")
//        }
//        */
    }

    routing {
        get("/") {
            call.respondText("HELLO WORLD!", contentType = ContentType.Text.Plain)
        }

        get("/json/gson") {
            call.respond(mapOf("hello" to "world"))
        }
    }
}

data class JsonSampleClass(val hello: String)

when i'm commenting out the client its working, can any one help? Slack Conversation

@Nir Golan Can you include a bit more about the nature of errors, expectations, etc?

*Kotlin

@emily i couldn't build the app, found that the dependency for the

client

wasn't in, added one and all good, still its very strange that the ktor template come unfinished...

Hi @Nir Golan Yep it think it is strange. may be they are out of sync. I did not actually clone and run the sample code so I am not really sure. may be you could send a pull request?

@emily not a pull request, from intellij make a new project and select GSON and json serialization client, the template youll get will be broken

what jvm version should you use? 11?

I suppose the jvm 8 flag in my gradle build is just for byte code compat

and it will also run on 11

I am currently using embedded Jetty in my Ktor app. Does anyone know how to setup a url rewrite to force the domain of my app to be www. For example, a user enters site.com and I want my embedded Jetty instance to rewrite this as www.site.com
