Filtering list from database without using java8 Stream

Question

The given filtering condition is using the stream in JAVA 8 how do I change it without using stream. I have to filter the customer and employee commodities from the database in the controller

          else if
          ("Employee".equalsIgnoreCase(soption)) 
          { customerVOs = customerVOs.stream()
                    .filter( s-> s.getRole().equalsIgnoreCase("Employee"))
                    .collect(Collectors.toList()); 
          }
        model.addAttribute("customerVOs", customerVOs);
                
        

Answer 1

customerVOs = customerVOs.stream()
                    .filter( s-> s.getRole().equalsIgnoreCase("Employee"))
                    .collect(Collectors.toList());

Can be written without stream as below,

for(var s: customerVOs){ // loop over your list from db
  if(s.getRole().equalsIgnoreCase("Employee")){
   // TODO add in list here
  }
}
