                Result.with(username, "Username cannot be empty"),
                Result.with(oldPassword, "Old password cannot be empty"),
                Result.with(newPassword, "New password cannot be empty"))
                .onSuccess(() -> userRepo.find(username))
                .ensure(user -> user.isCorrectPassword(oldPassword), "Invalid password")
                .onSuccess(user -> user.changePassword(newPassword))
                .onSuccess(user -> userRepo.update(user))
                .onFailure(() -> logger.error("Password could not be changed"))
                .map(user -> user);

Or start with com.example.Main class.
