Is there any way to get the field values eg: Stream.of(id, name), remove null fields and return List of values of not null fields

@Rinsen you can use filter() but that's a different question and it's likely to have already been asked on SO.

If you're using Spring, it has a nice hasText method. If you need to check if at least one field is not null and has text (not empty), it could look like this(intended as a class method):: Stream.of(field1, field2,...fieldN).anyMatch(StringUtils::hasText);

@RHronza That one exists for internal use within the Spring framework, I would recommend using the StringUtils of Apache Commons Lang instead, as recommended by Spring’s StringUtils javadoc itself!

@DidierL: I stated that it is only used with Spring, the advantage is not only null safe, but also empty safe
