# Examples

The `data-integration/samples/transformations` directory contains the following example KTRs that show how to use this step:

| Example KTR File                                                   | Description                                                                  |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `User Defined Java Class - Calculate the date of Easter.ktr`       | Develops a class to calculate the date of Easter.                            |
| `User Defined Java Class - Concatenate firstname and lastname.ktr` | Develops a class to combine first and last names into a full name.           |
| `User Defined Java Class - Query the database catalog.ktr`         | Shows how a user-defined class would access a database.                      |
| `User Defined Java Class - Real-time search on Twitter.ktr`        | Shows how to use a user-defined class in a real-time system.                 |
| `User Defined Java Class - LambdaExamples.ktr`                     | Shows how to use the Java streaming API with a User Defined Java Class step. |

We recommend starting with the `User Defined Java Class - Calculate the date of Easter.ktr` example transformation.
