I'm running against an issue:

I've created this stream I need to map to a Map<String, Object>:

private Map<String, Object> collectArguments(JoinPoint point) {

    CodeSignature signature = (CodeSignature) point.getSignature();

    String argNames = signature.getParameterNames();

    Object args = point.getArgs();



    return IntStream.range(0, args.length)

        .collect(Collectors.toMap(param -> argNames[param], param -> args[param]));

}

I'm getting the following message, which I don't quite figure out:

[Java] Type mismatch: cannot convert from Collector<Object,capture#3-of ?,Map<Object,Object>> to Supplier<R>

IntStream doesn't have a collect method that accepts a Collector. It only has a 3 argument collect method having this signature:

<R> R collect(Supplier<R> supplier,

              ObjIntConsumer<R> accumulator,

              BiConsumer<R, R> combiner)

Perhaps you should use a Stream<Integer>:

return IntStream.range(0, args.length)

                .boxed()

                .collect(Collectors.toMap(param -> argNames[param],

                                          param -> args[param]));

Or, if you wish to use the collect method of IntStream, it would look like this:

return IntStream.range(0, args.length)

                .collect(HashMap::new,

                         (m,i)->m.put(argNames[i],args[i]),

                         (m1,m2)->m1.putAll (m2));

or

return IntStream.range(0, args.length)

                .collect(HashMap::new,

                         (m,i)->m.put(argNames[i],args[i]),

                         Map::putAll);

An alternative to Eran's answer (in which the first variant, to use a Stream<Integer> is really neat) would be to first map the content of the arrays to an object:

public class Argument {

  private final String argName;

  private final Object arg;



  public Argument(String argName, Object arg) {

    this.argName = argName;

    this.arg = arg;

  }



  public String getArgName() {

    return argName;

  }



  public Object getArg() {

    return arg;

  }

}

The code for collecting this object to a map becomes a very clear and concise basic stream:

Map<String, Object> map = IntStream.range(0, args.length)

    .mapToObj(i -> new Argument(argNames[i], args[i]))

    .collect(Collectors.toMap(Argument::getArgName, Argument::getArg));

Perhaps even extract the logic for creating Arguments into its own method:

private List<Argument> toArguments(JoinPoint point) {

  String argNames = ((CodeSignature) point.getSignature()).getParameterNames();

  return IntStream.range(0, point.getArgs().length)

      .mapToObj(i -> new Argument(argNames[i], point.getArgs()[i]))

      .collect(Collectors.toList());

}

Doing this, your collectArguments() method would be a simple one-liner:

private Map<String, Object> collectArguments(JoinPoint point) {

  return toArguments(point).stream().collect(toMap(Argument::getArgName, Argument::getArg));

}
