Cannot convert java.util.Optional with stream

Question

I\'m trying to use stream in java, i had a student class:

@Entity
@Data @AllArgsConstructor @NoArgsConstructor
public class Student {
    @Id @GeneratedValue(str         


        

Answer 1

The First problem is Stream.of will create an stream of int arrays instead of stream of Integer

For Example

Stream.of(empIds).forEach(System.out::println);      //[I@7c3e4b1a
IntStream.of(empIds).forEach(System.out::println);   //1 2 3

So use IntStream.of or Arrays.stream()

If findById() is returning Optional then use isPresent to process only the Optional objects that contain Student

Arrays.stream

List students= Arrays.stream(empIds)
            .mapToObj(studentRepository::findById)
            .filter(Optional::isPresent)
            .map(Optional::get)
            .collect(Collectors.toList());

IntStream.of

List students= IntStream.of(empIds)
            .mapToObj(studentRepository::findById)
            .filter(Optional::isPresent)
            .map(Optional::get)
            .collect(Collectors.toList());

In current approach your are returning List>

List> students= IntStream.of(empIds)
            .map(studentRepository::findById).collect(Collectors.toList());
