252. Define Servlet.


Servlet is a server side scripting. It is the highest-level view of networking in java for
request-response model of communication. It extends the functionality of server, such as web
server. It runs entirely inside the Java Virtual Machine.
253. Define JSP.
Java Server Page (JSP) is simple technology used to generate dynamic HTML on the
server side.
254. What are the key components of JSP?
AU-MAY/JUN 2012
1.Directive 2. Declarations
3. Scriptlets 4. Expressions 5. Standard Actions
255. Define Directives.
Directives are messages to the JSP container that enable the programmer to specify page
settings, to include content form other resources and to specify custom tag libraries for use in a
JSP.
256. Define Scriplets.
Scriplets or scripting elements enable programmers to insert Java code that interacts with
components in a JSP to perform request processing
257. What are the types of directives in JSP?
AU-MAY/JUN 2008
The three types of directives are
i. Page directive
ii. Include directive
iii. Taglib directive
258. When it is useful to redirect a request to a different resource?
AU-MAY/JUN 2008
To direct the client requests to a different resource / URL. For example, a servlet could
determine the type of the client browser and redirect the request to a web page that was designed
specially for the browser.
259. How does a JSP work?(working principle)
AU-NOV/DEC 2008
The server component that executes the JSP is referred to as JSP container. When a JSPenabled server receives the first request for a JSP, the JSP container translates that JSP into a
Java Servlet that handles the current request and future requests to the JSP. The JSP container
places the java statements that implement the JSPs response in method jspService at translation
time. The JSP may respond directly to the request or may invoke other web application
components to assist in processing the request.
260. List any three advantages of java Servlet over JSP.
AU-NOV/DEC 2008
Servlets are effective for
1. Developing web-based solutions that help provide secure access to a web page
2. Interact with databases on behalf of a client
3. Maintain unique session information for each client.
261. Dedifferentiate HTTP and Generic Servlet
AU-MAY/JUN 2009
Servlet is a server side scripting language which uses HTTP to make communication b/w
clients and servers. A client sends an HTTP request to the server. The Servlet container receives
the request and directs it to be processed by appropriate Servlet.

262. List the steps involved in JSP request.


AU-MAY/JUN 2009, AU-NOV/DEC 2012
When a JSP-enabled server receives the first request for a JSP, the JSP container
translates that JSP into a Java Servlet that handles the current request and future requests to the
JSP. The JSP container places the java statements that implement the JSPs response in method
_jspService at translation time. The JSP may respond directly to the request or may invoke other
web application components to assist in processing the request.
263. What is the primary purpose of an HTTP get request?
AU-APR/MAY 2010
The HTTP get method is used to get /receives information like a document, a chart, or
results from a database query. It can include some of its own information as part of the request
by appending them using query string.
264. List the scripting components of JSP.
AU-APR/MAY 2010
JSP scripting components include
i. Scriplets
ii. Comments
iii. Expressions
iv. Declarations v. Escape sequences
265. What is the need for session tracking?
AU-MAY/JUN 2012
The HTTP protocol used by the web server is stateless ie., transactions made by every
uses is autonomous. It provides no built in way for server to recognize that all request are being
generated from the same user. Hence session tracking is needed since it is the capability of server
to maintain the current state of single clients sequential requests.
266. What are the techniques for session tracking?
1. Hidden Form fields
2. URL rewriting
3. Persistent cookies
4. Session tracking API
267. List down the rules for framing JSP elements.
i. The JSP elements should start and end with delimiter
ii. The escape characters like , \ should be handled with care
iii. The path should be specified either absolute or relative.
268. Explain actions in JSP.
Actions encapsulate functionality in predefined tags that programmers can embed in a
JSP. Actions often are performed based on the information sent to the server as part of a
particular client request.
269. Write the types of standard actions.
1. <jsp: useBean>
2. <jsp: setProperty>
3. <jsp: getProperty>
4. <jsp: include>
5. <jsp: forward>
6. <jsp: plugin>
270. Differentiate JSP: include and Include directive
JSP: include
Include directive
1. Done during run time
1. Done during compilation time
2. Dynamic content is included
2. Static content is included
3. Not parsed by the compiler. But it is included in page 3. Parsed by the compiler
271. What are JSP implicit objects?
1. Request
2. Response
3. Pagecontext
4.
Session
5. Application 6. Out
7. Config
8. Page
9.
Exception
272. Write any 4 Servlet interface.
1. SerrvletConfig 2. ServletContext 3. ServletRequest 4. ServletResponse

273. What are the advantages of JSP over Servlets?


AU-MAY/JUN 2012
JSP doesn't give you anything that you couldn't in principle do with a servlet. But it is more
convenient to write (and to modify!) regular HTML than to have a zillion println statements
that generate the HTML. Plus, by separating the look from the content you can put different
people on different tasks: your Web page design experts can build the HTML, leaving places
for your servlet programmers to insert the dynamic content.
274. Compare ASP and JSP
AU-MAY/JUN 2007, AU-MAY/JUN 2011
ASP stands for Active Server Page which can create dynamic web content. JSP stands for
Java Server Page which combines HTML and new scripting tags. ASP is a similar technology
from Microsoft. The advantages of JSP are twofold. First, the dynamic part is written in Java,
not Visual Basic or other MS-specific language, so it is more powerful and easier to use.
Second, it is portable to other operating systems and non-Microsoft Web servers.
275. Write a simple JSP program to display a message to the users AU-NOV/DEC 2012
<html ><head>
<title>Simple Message Display </title>
</head>
<body>
<%= Hello Welocme %> </body>
</html>
276. Differentiate include action and forward action
AU-MAY/JUN 2011
JSP: include
i. Allows static or dynamic resources to be included in the current JSP at request time.
ii. Resources is specified using URL
iii. It has access only to JSP write object and cant set header or cookies.
JSP: forward
i. Allows request to be forwarded to another JSP, servlet or static resources.
ii. The resource to which the request is forwarded must be in the same context as
the JSP is dispatching the context.
iii. Execution in current JSP is stopped when action is encountered.

16. What is Client/Server Computing?


Client/Server Computing means scrapping every mainframe that cant fit on the desktop and
the demise of host-centric computing and also unleashing a new bread of born-again
networked mainframes that will bring every PC in the enterprise back to the fold. This
computing provides
- Open & Flexible Environment
- Allowing to mix and match Services
- Client application can run in any platform
17. What is Client/Server?(MAY/JUNE2012)
Client/Server is separated logical entities i.e. software programs that work together over a
network to accomplish a task. The client and server logical entities are called as separate
program units. The Client first initiates the communication by passing request to server. The
server gets the request and produces the response and send back to the client over on the
network.
18. What are the basic characteristics of Client/Server System?(AU-NOV/DEC 2010)
Shared Resources
Service
Encapsulation of services
Mix-and-Match
Asymmetrical Protocols
Scalability
Transparency of location
Integrity
Distributed Across a network
19. List out types of servers?
File Server
Database Server
Groupware Server Object Server
Transaction Server Web Server
20. Write about File Server.
A Fileserver consists of large amount of files that may be documents, images, engineering
drawings and other large data objects. File Servers are useful for sharing files across a network.
They are indispensable for creating shared repositories of all types of files.
21. Write about Database Server.
A Database server maintains databases and uses its own processing power to find the
requested data from database. The Client passes SQL requests as messages to the database
server. The requests of each SQL command are returned over the network. The result is a much
more efficient use of distributed processing power.
22. Write about Groupware Server and give an example.
Groupware addresses the management of semi-structured information such as text, image,
mail, bulletin boards and the flow of work. This Client/Server System provides direct
communication between clients. Here applications are created by using a scripting language and
form-based interfaces.
Example: Lotus Notes
23. Write about Object Servers and give an example.
The Client/Server applications are written as a set of communicating Objects. Client objects
communicate with server objects using an instance of that Object Request Broker (ORB). The
ORB locates an instance of that object server class, invokes the requested method, and returns
the results to the client objects. Server objects must provide supports for concurrency and sharing

24. Write about Web Servers and give an Example.


This type of servers is intergalactic Client/Server application. This consists of thin, portable,
Universal clients that talk to super fast servers. The web server returns documents when clients
ask for them by name. The clients and servers communicate using an RPC-like protocol called
HTTP.
25. What is Middleware? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2012)
Middleware is software that acts as an interface between client and server. This is
implemented in 3-tier Architecture of client/server system. This Middleware provides a way to
interact the server for the client. Its the glue that lets a client obtain a service from the server.
Depends upon the service of Middleware, it classified as
1. General Middleware 2. Service-specific Middleware
26. What is General Middleware?
General Middleware is the subtract for most client/server interactions. It includes the
Communication stacks, distributed directories, authentication Services, Network time, RPC and
queuing services. This type also includes the network OS extensions such as distributed file and
print services.
27. What is Service-Specific Middleware?
Service-specific middleware is needed to accomplish a particular client/server type of
service.
This includes:
* Database-specific Middleware (ODBC, EDA/SQL)
* OLTP-specific Middleware (RPC,X/Opens TxRPC)
* Groupware-specific Middleware (SMTP, Lotus Notes Calls)
* Object-specific Middleware (CORBA, DCOM)
* Internet-specific Middleware (HTTP, S-HTTP, SSL)
* System Management Specific Middleware (SNMP, ORB)
28. What is Fat Server model? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2011)
The Fat Server model places more function on the server Fat server applications are easier to
manage and deploy on the network because most of the code runs on the servers. Fat servers try
to minimize network interchanges by creating more abstract levels of services.
Examples: Groupware Server, Transaction Server, Web Server.
29. What is Fat Client model?
Fat Clients are the more traditional form of Client/Server. The bulk of the application runs
on the client side of the equation. Fat Clients are used for decision support and personal software.
They provide flexibility and opportunities for creating front-end tools that let end-users create
their own application.
Examples: Database Server, File Server
30. What are the Key Technologies are needed by the Client/Server System?
Rich Transaction Processing
Roaming Agents
Rich data Management
Intelligent self-managing entities
Intelligent Middleware.
31. What are the types of Building Blocks?
The Client Building Block
The Server Building Block
The Middleware Building Block

32. Write about Client Building Block.


The Client building block runs the client side of the application. It runs on an Operating
System (OS) that provides a GUI or OOUI and that can access distributed services. The Client
also runs a component of the Distributed System Management (DSM) elements. The requests are
gathered by using this client side application from client user.
33. Write about Server Building Block
The server application runs on top of some shrink-wrapped server software package. The
contending server platforms for creating the next generation of client/server applications are SQL
database servers, TP Monitors, Groupware servers, Object servers and Web Server.
34. Write about Middleware Building Block.
It runs on both the client and server sides of an application. This building block is broken into 3
categories:
Transport Stack
Network Operating System
Service- Specific Middleware
35. What is Peer-to-Peer Communication? (MAY/JUNE2012)
The term Peer-to-Peer indicates that the two sides of a communication link use the
same protocol interface to conduct a networked conversation. Any computer can initiate a
conversation with any other computer. The protocol is symmetrical and it is sometimes called
Program-to-Program. The peer-to-peer tends to close to the wire in the sense that it does not
fully mask the underlying network from the programmer.
36. What is RPC?
RPC stands for Remote Procedure Calls and it also invoke the process of server.
This invoked program runs across the wire in a different resource domain. A Client process calls
function on a remote server and suspends itself until it gets back the results. Parameters are
passed like in any ordinary procedure. The RPC, like an ordinary procedure, is synchronous. The
RPC run-time software collects values for the parameters, forms a message, and sends it to the
remote server. The server receives the request, unpacks the parameters, calls the procedure and
sends the reply back to the client.

building enterprise-class distributed component application in Java.
71. What is the role of system administrator in EJB Server? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2010)
System administrators are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the EJB Server.Their
responsibilities include keeping security information up-to-date and monitoring the
performance of the server.
72. Define Bean with Bean-Managed Persistent? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2011)
An Entity Bean with Bean-Managed Persistence contains code that updates the underlying
database. Each Entity bean instance has an associated primary key. Logically, a primary key is
a value or combination of values that allows to uniquely specifying a row of data.
73. What is Entity Bean? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2012)
Entity beans are long-lived, they exist across client session, one shared by multiple clients and
remains alive even after a restart of the server or other failures. An entity bean must implement
the entity bean interface.
74. What is Session Bean?
Session beans are generally tied to the lifetime of a given client session. They are relatively
short-lived, state full session object are created in response to a single clients request.
75. What is Enterprise Java Bean?
Enterprise Java Bean: EJBs are writing-once, run-any-where middle-tire components.
Enterprise Java Beans is a server side component architecture that simplifies the process of
building enterprise-class distributed component applications in java.
76. What is session Bean?
Session beans are generally tied to the lifetime of a given client session. They are relatively
short-lived, state full session object are created in response to a single clients request.
77. What is State full Session?
Stateful Session is a bean that changes state during a conversation, ie a bean that has instance
variables.
78. What is meant by Deployment?
Deployment is the process of installing an object in server side.
79. What is Interface? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2010)
An interface defines the protocol of communication between two separate components of a
system. The interface describes what services are provide by a component and the protocol for
using those services
80. Write short notes on Transaction Monitor?
A transaction monitor service oversees transactions on behalf of other objects. A transaction, in
turn, is an operation or set of operation that must be performed automatically; that is, either all
objects involved in the transaction must commit the transaction or all objects involved must
abort the transaction.
81. Define Directory Services.
Directory services refer to a set of services that enable objects, which can be servers,
businesses, or even people, to be located by other objects.

82. What is Marshaling and unmarshaling?


Marshaling refers to the process of translating input parameters to a format that can be

161. Write about OMG.


OMG stands for Object Management Group were created in 1989. The OMG solicited input
from all segments of the industry and eventually defined the CORBA standard. The OMG does not
create products; it focuses on creating specifications that can be implemented and used by all.
162. What is DOM? And Write about it.
CORBA is a specification for an emerging technology known as distributed object
management (DOM). DOM technology provides a higher-level, object-oriented interface on
top of the basic distributed computing services. CORBA has emerged as the leading standard
among DOM solutions, with only one significant competitor, Microsofts distributed
component object model (DCOM).
163. What is OMA? And write about its elements.
The higher-level specification is referred to as the object management architecture
(OMA), which addresses following elements:
CORBA services
CORBA facilities
CORBA domains
ORB (Object Request Broker).
164. What are the things consists by CORBA object model.
i. Object- An encapsulation entity that provides services to a client.
ii. Requests- An action created by a client directed to a target object that includes information
on the operation to be performed and zero or more actual parameters.
iii. Object Creation and Destruction Based on the state of requests, objects are created or deleted.
iv. Types- An identifiable entity defined over values.
v. Interfaces The specification of operations that a client can request from a object.
vi. Operations- An identifiable entity that defines what a client can request from an object.
165. How to managing Distributed Systems?
The Distributed Systems managed by applying following Services.
Monitoring
Naming
Persistence
Licensing
Transaction
Security
Distributed garage collection
Messaging
Resource Management.
166. What are factors considered during the development and the deployment of software
for Distributed Objects?
* Language choice is no longer a primary consideration.
* Process and machine boundaries are more easily crossed.
* Internet and push technologies offer new delivery mechanisms.
167. What are the fundamentals traits of a distributed object system?
Data Types
Interfaces
Marshaling and un marshaling
Proxies, stubs, and skeletons
Object handles
Object creation
Object invocation
Object destruction

168. What is BSTR?


A BSTR also known as a Basic String is a pointer to a length-prefixed wide character
array. Because a BSTR is prefixed with a 4-byte length attribute, a C/C++ BSTR pointer
does not point at the beginning of the data structure but instead points to the first wide
character in the array. In a C++ application, a BSTR instance must be allocated using the
SysAllocString() method and reallocated using the SysFreeString() method.
169. How to implement a remote method invocation in CORBA?
1. A Client invokes a remote method. The remote method is actually invoked in the client stub.
2. The Client stub creates a message containing information needed for the remote invocation.
3. The Client stub sends he message to the server skeleton using the communication bus.
4. The server skeleton receives the message and unpacks it.
5. The server skeleton calls the appropriate server method based on the information provided in the
received message.
6. The server skeleton creates a message based on the outputs of the call to the server method.(i.e., the
return value and out parameters).
7. The server skeleton sends the result message to the client stub using the communication bus.
8. The client stub receives the result message, unpacks the message, and returns the results to the client.
170. What is marshaling and Un-Marshaling?
In Client-Server communication with CORBA or COM or RMI, The message creation or
packing process in any side it refers to as Marshaling. The message unpacking process is
referred to as un-marshaling.
171. What is CORBA? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2012)
CORBA stands for Common Object Request Broker Architecture which is a Middleware
between Client and Server in Distributed Architecture. CORBA provides language
independence by defining object interface in a language-independent manner. CORBA is
providing to be one of the most important innovations in the recent history of information
systems. It addresses the two most prominent problems faced in he software industry today:
1. The difficulty of developing client-server applications.
2. By rapidly integrating legacy systems, off-the-shelf applications, and new development.
172. What are the key roles of broker in distributed System?
The broker plays two key roles.
1. It provides the common services, including basic messaging and communication between client
and server, directory services, meta-data description, security services, and location transparency.
2. It insulates the applications from the specifics of the system configuration, such as hardware
platforms and operating systems, network protocols, and implementation languages.
173. What is CORBA Object Model? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2011)
The CORBA Object Model defines key boundaries and meanings to enable
unambiguous interpretation of these concepts. Without a common object model, the
implementation of CORBA compliant tools by independent software manufactures might
otherwise produce fatal incompatibilities. CORBAs object model is based on a complete
object approach in which a client sends a message to an object. The message identifies an
object, and one or more parameters are included. The first parameter defines the operation to
be performed, although the specific method used is determined by the receiving object.

174. What is GIOP?


GIOP stands for General inter-ORB protocol. The GIOP was specified to allow
interoperability among ORB implementations. It assumes an underlying connection-oriented
transport layer. The GIOP defines transfer syntax, known as common data representation
(CDR), and seven basic message types.
175. What is IIOP? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2010)
IIOP stands for Internet Inter ORB protocol. The mapping of GIOP to TCP/IP is
referred to as the internet Inter-ORB protocol. The interoperable object reference (IOR) is the
mechanism through which objects are accessed through the IIOP and between ORB vendors.
The IOR includes the Orbs internal object reference, Internet host address, and port
numbers. It is managed by the interoperating Orbs and is not visible to application
programmers.
176. What is IDL? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2011,2012) (MAY/JUNE2012)
IDL stands for Interface Definition Language. OMG IDL is a declarative for defining
the interface of CORBA objects. It is a language- independent way in which implementers
and users of objects can be assured of type-safe invocation of operations, even though the
only other information that needs to pass between them is an object reference. IDL is used by
ORB-specific IDL compilers to generate stub and/or skeleton code that converts in-memory
data structures in one programming language into equivalent network streams and then
unpacks them on another machine into equivalent data structures in another language, makes
a method call, and then transmits the results in the opposite direction.
177. What is IDL Interface?
The IDL interface defines the exposed details of distributed objects. Each IDL
interface defines a new object type. The operation signatures are the essence of the interface.
These are the entry points for service requests. IDL interface is that it specifies a software
boundary between a service implementation and its clients. The IDL declares what is
exposed by this interface, and all other details are hidden. IDL interface can inherit from
other interfaces.
178. What is the purpose of IDL Modules?
IDL modules create separate name spaces for IDL definitions. This prevents potential
name conflicts among identifiers used in different domains. Modules do not inherit from
other modules. Only IDL interfaces are capable of inheriting specifications. Modules can be
nested. Modules are used at the base definition level to enclose one or more IDL interface
and their associated type definition.
179. What is the purpose of using IDL Forward?
The IDL forward statement is used to declare an interface name before its complete
definition appears in the file. Forward declarations can also be used to create recursive
definitions. Forward declarations do not establish their enclosed definitions.
180. Write about IDL Constants.
IDL allows the definition of constant values. There is a restricted set of types, including
integer, character, Boolean, floating point, string, and renamed types. The constant definitions
can include some arithmetic expressions.
Example:
const unsigned long k =4.5;

181. What is IDL sequence?


Sequences are special data type that is unique to IDL. Sequences are essentially variablelength arrays. Since every programming language has a binding to IDL that is natural, sequences
are defined as appropriate within the programming language environment. If the programming
language already has a variable-length elements type , that is a suitable representation.
182. What is purpose of IDL Type Declaration?
The purpose of type declarations in IDL is to enable strong type checking of operation
signatures. Type declarations include renaming of the intrinsic types in IDL, as well as the
creation of user-defined types that can be enumeration, structures, arrays, sequences, or unions.
183. Write about IDL Attributes?
IDL definitions expose public attributes and operations. If an attribute or operation is private,
it should not appear in a public IDL definition. By default, all IDL definitions know by the ORB
are public because they are publicly retrievable from the Interface Repository. Attribute may be
read-only or read-write. Each attribute has an IDL data type and appears within a specific IDL
interface definition.
Example: attribute unsigned short age;
184. Write about IDL Exception.
CORBA makes the important guarantee that the client making an invocation will always
receive a successful return or an exception. This is a significant simplification of the
complexities of distributed computing and can greatly reduce the amount of client code needed.
Exceptions are also an important part of an interface specification. Exceptions define the values
passed by the interface in case something goes wrong. There are two general kinds of exceptions:
user-defined and CORBA defined.
185. What is IDL Operation Signatures?
The specification of operation signatures is the underlying purpose of IDL. An operation
signature defines the acceptable ways to access an object. No other hidden interfaces are
allowed. All operation definitions are declared within specific IDL interfaces. By default, IDL
operations are synchronous. There is an asynchronous option denoted by the one-way keyword,
which indicates that the operation will be executed at-most-once, using a best-effort semantics.

221. What is meant by COM?
Component Object Model (COM) specifies architecture, a binary standard, and a supporting
infrastructure for building, using, and evolving component-based applications. It extends the
benefits of object-oriented programming such as encapsulation, polymorphism, and software
reuse to a dynamic and cross-process setting. Distributed COM (DCOM) is the distributed
extension of COM. It specifies the additional infrastructure that is required to further extend the
benefits to networked environments.
222. Define the term Interface?
An interface is a collection of functionally related abstract methods, and is identified
by a 128-bitglobally unique identifier (GUID) called the interface ID (IID).
223. What is Comman Language Runtime (CLR)? (MAY/JUNE2012)
CLR is .NET equivalent of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) . I t is the runt time that converts a
MSI L code into the host machine language code, which is then executed appropriately.
224. What is Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL)?
A .NET programming language (C# , VB.NET, J# et c.) does not compile into executable
code; instead it compiles into an intermediate code called Microsoft I ntermediate Language
(MSI L) . As a programmer one need not worry about the syntax of MSI L - since our source
code in automat ically converted to MSIL
225. What is Common Type System (CTS) ?
Achieved through int roduct ion of Common Type System (CTS). CTS, much like Java,
defines every data type as a Class. Every .NET compliant language must st ick to this definit ion.
Since CTS defines every data type as a class; this means that only Object Oriented (or Object Based) languages can achieve .NET compliance.
226. What is Web Services?
Web services are an extension of ActiveX. Those of you, who have used ASP and JSP
both, know the apparent short comings of ASP. JSP has been enriched with the concepts of
Beans and Tags. ASP equivalent for Beans and Tags was Act iveX Cont rols and Act iveX
automat ion servers. Let me take a minute to explain this point a bit further. Web Services is NOT
a Microsoft proprietary standard. I t is a W3Consort ium standard, and has been developed by
Microsoft , IBM and many other big names of the indust ry.
227. What is mean by Web forms?
Just as the Win Forms provide a unified way of developing GUI for desktop application,
the Web Forms provide similar tool for web applications. Web Forms has been introduced in
.NET as a part of ASP.NET. Web Forms are forms engines that provide a browser-based user
interface.

228. What is Distributed COM?


The DCOM wire protocol extends the remoting architecture across different machines. Currently, it is
specified as a set of extensions layered on top of the DCE RPC specification. It adopts DCE RPCs Network
Data Representation (NDR) format for marshaling data to be transmitted across heterogeneous network. It also
leverages DCE RPCs security capabilities for authentication, authorization, and message integrity. In addition,
DCOM specifies the RPC interfaces for remote server activation, ID-to-endpoint resolution, remote Unknown
method invocation, and pinging for robust reference counting. It also defines the data structure of object
references and the DCOM-specific portion of RPC packets.
229. What is Threading Model?
If an application allows multiple clients to concurrently invoke methods of the same COM object, some
synchronization mechanisms need to be provided to protect the data. COM introduces the concept of
apartments to allow objects with different concurrency constraints to live in the same process. An apartment is
a logical grouping of objects that share the same concurrency constraints. Before a thread can use COM, it
must first enter an apartment by calling CoInitializeEx( ). Every COM process can have at most one
multithreaded apartment (MTA), but it can contain multiple single-threaded apartments (STAs). Multiple
threads can execute in an MTA concurrently, so object data in an MTA need to be properly protected. In
contrast, only one thread can execute in an STA and so concurrent accesses to objects in an STA are
automatically serialized.
230. What is Versioning?
COMs approach to versioning is based on the following three requirements: first, any interface
(identified by an IID) must be immutable. Second, a new implementation of the same CLSID must support
existing interfaces. Finally, any client must start interacting with a server by querying an interface with an IID.
Such a combination allows independent evolution of client and server software. Suppose, on a particular
machine, the server software is upgraded before the client is. Since the new server supports all old interfaces,
the old client can still obtain all the interface pointers that it needs and run smoothly. When the client software
is also upgraded, the new client will query the new interfaces to enjoy the new features. In contrast, suppose
the client software is upgraded first on another machine. The new client will try querying the new interfaces on
the old server and fail. This procedure forces the new client to handle the failure by, for example, providing
only old features. But it will not cause the new client to crash or unknowingly execute incorrectly. Admittedly,
there are still problems in practice that remain to be solved. For example, bug fixes of an existing interface
implementation may change the behavior; new implementations of the same CLSID may not be willing to
carry all old implementations.
231. What is Marshalling and Remoting? (MAY/JUNE2012)
In computer programming, marshalling is the process of gathering data from one or more applications
or non-contiguous sources in computer storage, putting the data pieces into a message buffer, and organizing or
converting the data into a format that is prescribed for a particular receiver or programming interface.
Marshalling is usually required when passing the output parameters of a program written in one language as
input to a program written in another language. The process of gathering data and transforming it into a
standard format before it is transmitted over a network so that the data can transcend network boundaries. In
order for an object to be moved around a network, it must be converted into a data stream that corresponds
with the packet structure of the network transfer protocol. This conversion is known as data marshalling. Data
pieces are collected in a message buffer before they are marshaled. When the data is transmitted, the receiving
computer converts the marshaled data back into an object.

232. What is Object Destruction?


We dont free COM objects; you just tell them that youre done using them. The IUnknown
interface, which every COM object implements, has a method Release(). You call this method to tell
the COM object that you no longer need it. Once you call Release(), you must not use the interface
pointer any more, since the COM object may disappear from memory at any time. If our app uses a lot
of different COM objects, its vitally important to call Release() whenever youre done using an
interface. If you dont release interfaces, the COM objects (and the DLLs that contain the code) will
remain in memory, and will needlessly add to your apps working set. If your app will be running for
a long time, you should call the CoFreeUnusedLibraries() API during your idle processing. This API
unloads any COM servers that have no outstanding references, so this also reduces your apps
memory usage.
233. Explain COM Interfaces? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2011)
Every COM interface is derived from IUnknown. The name is a bit misleading, in that its not
an unknown interface. The name signifies that if you have an IUnknown pointer to a COM object, you
dont know what the underlying object is, since every COM object implements IUnknown. IUnknown
has three methods:
1. AddRef() - Tells the COM object to increment its reference count. You would use this method if
you made a copy of an interface pointer, and both the original and the copy would still be used. We
wont need to use
AddRef() for our purposes in this article.
2. Release() - Tells the COM object to decrement its reference count. See the previous example for a
code snippet demonstrating Release().
QueryInterface() - Requests an interface pointer from a COM object. You use this when a co class
implements more than one interface.
234. What is a component?
Component is an independent piece of code that may be shared with different programs.
235. What is an Object?
An Object is a set of code that is designed to be reusable with a well-defined interface.
236. What is DCOM?
Distributed Component Object Model is the combination of COM plus the network protocols
that allow running a COM Object on a remote Computer.
237. What is Class Module?
The class module in Visual Basic is where we define an object s template. Within the class we
setup the properties, methods and events that the class will offer to outside users.
238. What are the elements of Class Module?
Its merely a collection of subroutines, functions, variables and option declarations.
239. What is Module Variable?
Variables declared outside the routines in a module are called variables.
240. What are EXE files?
EXE files contain object code that is run under control of windows. EXE files use the portable
Executable format, which is common across all windows systems, including those that run on
different processors.
241. What is Dynamic Link Library?
Dynamic Link Library file contain collection of functions and subroutines that can be shared
among multiple programs, including EXE programs and other DLLs.

242. What is Method Routines?


Method Routines are nothing but functions and subroutines that are buried in a class module.
243. What is Event Declaration?
Event Declaration allows our class objects to call a subroutine in a client program.
244. What is Indirection?
Many software problems can be solved by one more level of indirection. Supporting indirection is a
special form of providing extensibility. In most traditional programming paradigms, offering one more level
of indirection often involves tricky programming hacks that may impose certain limitations. In contrast,
COM builds into its architecture the support for indirection. As demonstrated in the following discussion,
activation indirection can be used for online software update and load balancing, while call indirection can
facilitate fault tolerance and object migration.
245. What is coupling?
Coupling means that components in separate modules are not tightly integrated with each
other; an application using components in one module generally need not know about components in
another module. (Of course, there is often some overlap between modules for various reasons, such as
the need to share data between modules or to facilitate common functionality between modules.)
When there is little or no dependency between components, they are said to be loosely coupled.
246. What is Cohesion?
Cohesion means that interfaces within the module are tightly integrated with each other. For
example, a module called InternalCombustionEngine might contain interfaces such as CylinderHead,
TimingChain, Crankshaft, Piston, and many others. It is difficult to describe the purpose of one of
these components without referring to the others; hence, one might say that the components are tightly
cohesive. By way of comparison, you would probably find very little in common between the
components
of
InternalCombustionEngine
and,
for
instance,
AudioSystem;
InternalCombustionEngine components such as OilFilter and SparkPlug are loosely coupled to
AudioSystem components such as CompactDiscPlayer and Subwoofer.
247. Explain Constructed Type in Data types?
Constructed types, which combine other types, enable the creation of user-defined types.
Perhaps the most useful of these constructs is the interface, which defines the services provided by
your application objects. Because IDL is, after all, the Interface Definition Language, it seems fitting
that interfaces should comprise the bulk of IDL source code.
248. Explain Enumerated Data types?
The enumerated type, enum, allows the creation of types that can hold one of a set of predefined
values specified by the enum. Although the identifiers in the enumeration comprise an ordered list, IDL
does not specify the ordinal numbering for the identifiers. Therefore, comparing enum values to integral
values might not be safe, and would almost certainly not be portable across languages. C and C++ also have
an enumerated type that works similarly.
249. Explain the Structure data types?
IDL provides a structure type--struct--that contains, as in C and C++, any number of member
values of disparate types (even other structs). structs are especially useful in IDL because, unlike
CORBA objects (which are represented by interfaces), structs are passed by value rather than by
reference. In other words, when a struct is passed to a remote object, a copy of that structs values is
created and marshaled to the remote object.

250. Explain Union Data types?


The IDL union type, like a struct, represents values of different types. The IDL union type will
appear somewhat odd to C and C++ programmers, resembling something of a cross between a C/C++ union
and a case statement, but Pascal programmers should recognize the format.
251. What is Discriminator?
A discriminator, as used in an IDL union, is a parameter that determines the value used by the
union. In the example in Listing 3.5, a long was used for the discriminator; other types can be used
also, including long, long long, short, unsigned long, unsigned long long, unsigned short, char,
boolean, or enum. The constant values in the case statements must match the discriminators type.
252. What is Method Signature?
A method signature, often simply called a signature, describes what a method does (ideally,
the method name should specify, at least in general terms, what the method does), what parameters
(and their types) the method takes as input, and what parameters (and their types) it returns as output.
in, out, and inout Parameters As already mentioned, parameters in a method can be declared as in, out,
or inout. These names are fairly self-explanatory: An in parameter serves as input to the method; an
out parameter is an output from the method; and an inout parameter serves as an input to and an
output from the method.
253. What is blocking on a remote method call?
The term blocking refers to any point at which a process or thread is waiting for a particular resource
or another process/thread. Within the context of CORBA, if a client invokes a remote method and must wait
for the result to be returned, the client is said to block. A request is simply another name for a remote
method invocation. The term is commonly used when referring to the operation of a distributed system. In
fact, when you study CORBAs Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII), youll see that remote methods can be
invoked through a Request object.
254. What is .NET? ?(AU-NOV/DEC 2012)
The .NET Framework introduces a completely new model for the programming and deployment of
applications. .NET is Microsofts vision of "software as a service", a development environment in which
you can build, create, and deploy your applications and the next generation of components, the ability to use
the Web rather than your own computer for various services.
255. What are the major Components ( Layers ) of the .NET framework:
The top layer includes user and program interfaces. Windows Forms are a new way to create
standard Win32 desktop applications, based on the Windows Foundation Classes (WFC) produced for J++.
Web Forms provide a powerful, forms-based UI for the web. Web Services, which are perhaps the most
revolutionary, provide a mechanism for programs to communicate over the Internet using SOAP. Web
Services provide an analog of COM and DCOM for object brokering and interfacing, but based on Internet
technologies so that allowance is made for integration even with non-Microsoft platforms. Web Forms and
Web Services, comprise the Internet interface portion of .NET, and are implemented through a section of
the .NET Framework referred to as ASP.NET. The middle layer includes the next eneration of standard
system services such as ADO.NET and XML. These services are brought under the control of the
framework, making them universally available and standardizing their usage across languages.

256. What is Remoting Architecture?


We use the term remoting architecture to refer to the entire infrastructure that connects COM
clients to out-of-process server objects. (See Figure 1.) The standard remoting architecture includes,
among other things, (1) object proxies that act as the client-side representatives of server objects and
connect directly to the client; (2) interface proxies that perform client-side data marshaling and are
aggregated into object proxies; (3) client-side channel objects that use remote procedure calls (RPCs)
to forward marshaled calls; (4) server-side endpoints that receive RPC requests; (5) server-side stub
manager that dispatches calls to appropriate interface stubs;
(6) interface stubs that perform server-side data marshaling and make actual calls on the objects; and
(7) standard marshaler that marshals interface pointers into object references on the server side and
unmarshals the object references on the client side. Note that interface proxies and stubs are
application-specific and are generated by running an Interface Definition Language (IDL) compiler on
application-supplied IDL files. The other objects are application-independent and are provided by
COM.

Define SAMA. (DEC2008)


Spread Aloha Multiple Access is a combination of CDMA and TDMA. The
CDMA better suits for connection oriented services only and not for connection less bursty data
traffic because it requires programming both sender and receiver to access different users with
different codes.
22. Define CDMA. (DEC2008)
Code Division Multiple Access systems use codes with certain characteristics to separate
different users. To enable access to the shared medium without interference. The users use the same
frequency and time to transmit data. The main problem is to find good codes and to separate this
signal from noise. The good code can be found the following 2 characteristic
1. Orthogonal.
2. AutoCorrelation.
23. What are the several versions in CSMA?(APR 2008)
There are several versions in CSMA, they are as follows
a) Non-persistent CSMA
b) p-persistent CSMA
c) 1-persistent CSMA
24.
What is meant by non-persistent CSMA?(APR 2008)
In, non-persistent CSMA, stations sense the carrier and start sending immediately if the
medium is idle. if the medium is busy, the station pauses a random amount of time before sensing the
medium again and repeating this pattern.

25.

What is meant by p-persistent CSMA?(DEC 2009)


In p-persistent CSMA system nodes also sense the medium, but only transmit with a
probability of p. With the station deferring to the next slot with the probability 1-p, i.e. access
is slotted in addition.
26.
What is SDMA? (DEC 2009)
Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) is used for allocating separated spaces to users
in wireless networks. The basis for the SDMA algorithm is formed by cells and sectorized antennas
which constitute the infrastructure implementing space division multiplexing (SDM)
27.
What is FDD? (MAY 2008)
In FDMA, the base station and the mobile station establish a duplex channel. The two directions,
mobile station to base station and vice versa are separated using different frequencies. This Scheme
is called Frequency Division Duplex (FDD)
28.

Elimination yield Non Pre-emptive Multiple Access (EY-NMPA) is a scheme which
uses several phases to sense the medium. access the medium and for contention resolution.. Priority
schemes can also be included. This is actually used in HIPERLAN1 specification.
30.
What do you mean by Polling? (MAY 2009)
Polling is a strictly centralized scheme with one master and several slave stations. The
master can collect the list of stations during the contention phase and can poll these slaves according
to many schemes like round robin, random access, reservation scheme etc.
31. What is meant by radiation pattern of antenna?(NOV 2012)
Int Bthe field of antenna design the term radiation pattern refers to the directional
dependence of the strength of the radio waves from the antenna.
32. What is smart system?(NOV 2012)
Smart systems are defined as miniaturized devices that incorporate functions of sensing,
actuation and control. they are capable of describing and analyzing a situation, and taking decisions
based on the available data in a predictive or adaptive manner,there by performing smart actions. In
most cases the smartness of the system can be attributed to autonomous operation based on closed
loop control,energy efficiency and networking capabilities.

73. What is the function of Medium Access Control Layer?
The function of Medium Access Control Layer is responsible for establishes, maintains,
and releases channels for higher layers by activating and deactivating physical channels.
74. What is meant by GEO?
GEO means Geostationary or Geosynchronous earth orbit. GEO satellites have a distance
of almost 36000 km to the earth. Examples are almost all TV and radio broadcast satellites, many
weather satellites and satellites operating as backbone for the telephone network.
75. What are the advantages of GEO?
Three GEO satellites are enough for a complete coverage of almost any spot on earth,
senders and receivers can use fixed antennas positions, no adjusting is needed. Therefore GEOs
are ideal for T.V and radio broadcasting
76. What is Handover?
The satellite is the base station in satellite communication systems and that
it self is moving. So, additional instance of handover are necessary due to the movement of the
satellite.
1. Intra Satellite handover: 2. Inter Satellite handover.
3. Gateway handover.
4.Inter System handover.

1. Home Location Register (HLR). 2. Visitor Location Register (VLR).
3. Satellite User Mapping Register (SUMR).
78. Write the Advantages of MEO (APR 2009)
Using Orbits around 10,000Km, the system only requires a dozen satellitesthis is more
than the GEO system, but much less than a LEO system. Further more these satellites move
slower relative to the earths rotation allowing a simpler system design. Depending on the
inclination a MEO can cover larger populations, thus requiring less handovers.
79. Write the Applications of Satellite? (APR 2009)
Satellites can be used in the Following Areas
Weather Forecasting
Radio and TV broadcast Satellites
Military Satellites

80. What are the advantages of LEO?


Data rate is 2400 bit/s
Packet delay is relatively low
Smaller footprints of LEO allows frequency reuse
Provide high elevations
81. Define the inclination angle and perigee.
The inclination angle is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and the plane
described by the satellite orbit. An inclination angle of 0 degrees means that the satellite is
exactly above the equator. If the satellite does not have a circular orbit, the closest point to the
earth is called the perigee.
82. Define the elevation angle and footprint.
The elevation angle is defined as the angle between the centre of satellite beam and the
plane tangential to the earths surface. The foot-print can be defined as the area on earth where
the signals of the satellite can be received.
83. Define Header core.
Seven bytes field contains the sizes of the header and the body, the content type of the
object. Depending on this header information, the receiver may decide if it has enough resources
(memory, cpu, power, display etc) available to decode and further process the object.
84. What is MSC?
Main Service Channel (MSC) carries all user data.eg. Audio, multimedia data.
85. What is FIC?
The Fast Information Channel (FIC) contains Fast Information Block(FIB) with 256bits
each(16 bit checksum). An FIC carries all control information which is required for interpreting

158. What is mobile routing?


Even if the location of a terminal is known to the system, it still has to route the traffic
through the network to the access point currently responsible for the wireless terminal. Each time
a user moves to a new access point, the system must reroute traffic. This is known as mobile
routing.

167. What is mobile terminal and wireless terminal?
Mobile terminal is a standard ATM terminal with the additional capability of
reconnecting after access point change. The terminal can be moved between different access
point within a certain domain. Wireless terminal is accessed via a wireless link, but the terminal
itself is fixed, i.e., the terminal keeps its access point to the network.
168. What is generic routing encapsulation?
Generic routing encapsulation (GRE) is an encapsulation scheme which supports other
network protocols in addition to IP. It allows the encapsulation of packets of one protocol suite
into the payload portion of a packet of another protocol suite.

169. Define COA.


The COA (care of address) defines the current location of the MN from an IP point of
view. All IP packets sent to the MN are delivered to the COA, not directly to the IP address of
the MN. Packet delivery toward the MN is done using the tunnel.
170. What is meant by Transparency?
Mobility should remain invisible for many higher layer Protocols and applications. The only affects of
mobility should be a higher delay and lower bandwidth which are natural in the case of mobile networks.
171. What is Generic Routing encapsulation?
Generic Routing encapsulation (GRE) allows the encapsulation of packets of one
protocol suite into the payload portion of a packet of another protocol suit.
172. What is binding Request?
Any node that wants to know the current location of an MN can send a binding request
to the HA. The HA can check if the MN has allowed dissemination of its current location.
173. What are the possibilities for the location of care-of-address (COA)?
The two possibilities for the location of care-of-address are: i.Foreign agent ii.Co-related COA
174. What are the requirements for the development of mobile IP standard?
The requirements are: a.Compatibilityb.Transparency c.Scalability and efficiency d.Security
175. What is COA?
Care of Address (COA) defines the current location of the MN (Mobile Node) from an
IP point of view. DHCP is a good candidate for supporting the acquisition of Care Of
Addresses.
176. What is Dynamic source Routing?
Dynamic Source Routing eliminates all periodic routing updates. If a node needs to
discover a route, it broadcast a route request with a unique identifier and the destination address
as parameters. Any node that receivers a route request gives a list of addresses representing a
possible path on its way toward the destination.
177. Why is need of routing?
Routing is to find the path between source and destination and to forward the packets
appropriately.
178. Define Mobile node:
A mobile node is an end-system or router that can change its point of attachment to the
Internet using mobile IP. The MN keeps its IP address and can continuously with any other
system in the Internet as long as link layer connectivity is given.
179. What is Encapsulation and Decapsulation? (MAY 2009)
Encapsulation is the mechanism of taking a packet consisting of packet header and data
and putting it into the data part of a new packet. The reverse operation, taking a packet out of the
data part of another packet, is called decapsulation.
180. What are the two functions of the transport layer in the internet? (MAY 2009)
The two functions of the transport layer in the internet are check summing over user data
and multiplexing/ demultiplexing of data from applications.
181. What is called the exponential growth of the congestion window?
The sendors always calculate congestion window for a window start size of the
congestion window is one segment. Sender sends one packet and waits for acknowledgement. If
acknowledgement arises it raises the level of congestion window by one. If sender sends two
packets if acknowledgement arises it raises the level of congestion window by two. This scheme
raises the level of congestion window every time the acknowledges come back, which takes
roundtrip time (RTT).This is called the exponential growth of the congestion window.

182. Define route optimization.(NOV2012)


The optimized mobile IP protocol needs 4 additional messages
a) Binding request
b) binding update
c) binding acknowledgement
d) binding warning
183. Differentiate home agent and foreign agent.(NOV2012)

210. Write the Advantages of I-TCP: (DEC 2009)
I-TCP does not require any changes in the TCP protocol as used by the hosts
in the fixed network or other hosts in a wireless network that do not use this
optimization.
Without partitioning retransmission of lost packets would take place between
mobile host and correspondent host across the whole network.
Optimization of new mechanisms is quite simple to be done in I-TCP as they
only cover a single hop.
The short delay between the mobile host and foreign agent can be determined
and is independent of other traffic streams. Therefore an optimized TCP can use
precise time-outs to guarantee retransmission as fast as possible.
Partitioning into two connections also allows the use of a different transport
layer protocol between the foreign agent and the mobile host or the use of
compressed headers etc. The foreign agent can act as a gateway to translate between
different protocols.
211. Write the Disadvantages of I-TCP: (DEC 2009)
The loss of the end to end semantics of TCP cause problems if the foreign agent portioning
the TCP connection crashes.
An increased handover latency is more problematic in practical use
The foreign agent must be a trusted entity because the TCP connections end at this point.

212. Define Slow Start? (APR 2008)


TCPs reaction to a missing acknowledgement is quite drastic, but necessary to get rid of
congestion. The behavior TCP shows after the detection of congestion is called Slow start.
213. How does data transmission takes place? (APR 2008)
Data transmission takes place using network adapters, fiber optics, copper wires, special
hardware for routers etc.
214. What is mean by Slow Start?
TCPs reaction to a missing acknowledgement is quite drastic, but necessary to get rid of congestion
fast enough. The behavior TCP shows after the detection of congestion is called slow start.
215. What is mean by SCPS-TP? (MAY 2008)
The set of protocols developed for space communication is known as space communications
protocol standards (SCPS), the extended TCP is called SCPS-transport protocols.(SCPS-TP).
216. What are Advantage and Disadvantage of MobileTCP? (MAY 2008)
Advantage:
i. M-TCP maintains the TCP end-to-end semantic. The SH does not send any ACK itself but
forwards the ACKs from the MH.
ii.If the MH is disconnected, M_TCP avoids useless retransmissions, slow starts or breaking
connections by simply shrinking the senders window to 0;
iii. Since M-TCP does not buffer data in the SH as I-TCP does, it is not necessary to forward
buffers to a new SH.
Lost packets will be automatically retransmitted to the new SH.
Disadvantage:
i. As the SH does not act as proxy as in I-TCP, packet loss on the wireless link due to bit errors is
propagated to the sender. M-TCP assumes low bit error rates, which is not always a valid assumption.
ii. A modified TCP on the wireless link not only requires modification to the MH protocol software
but also new network elements like the bandwidth manager.
217. What is fast retransmit? (MAY 2009)
The gap in the packet stream is not due to severe congestion, but a simple packet loss
due to a transmission error. The sender can now retransmit the missing packet before the timer
expires. This behavior is called fast retransmit.
218. What is fast recovery? (MAY 2009)
The receipt of acknowledgement shows that there is no congestion justifying a slow
start. The sender can continue with the current congestion window. The sender performs a fast
recovery from the packet loss. This mechanism can improve the efficiency of TCP dramatically.
219. What is HTTP?
The Hypertext transfer protocol is a stateless, lightweight, application level protocol for
data transfer between servers and clients. An HTTP transaction consists of an HTTP request
issued by a client and an HTTP response from the server. Stateless means that all HTTP
transactions independent of each other.
220. What is image scaling?
If a page contains a true color, high-resolution picture, this picture can be scaled down to
fewer colors, lower resolution, or finally to only the title of the picture. The user can decide to
download the picture separately. Further one can offer clipping, zooming, or detail studies to
users if they are interested in a part of the picture.

221. What is WAP?


Wireless application protocol (WAP) is a common effort of many companies and
organizations to set up a framework for wireless and mobile web access using many different
transport systems. Eg. GSM, GPRS, UMTS.
222. What is WML Browser?
WML Browser is a library that provides several functions typical for a browser, such as
prev to go back one card or refresh to update the context of the user interface.
223. Define Damping.
Transient changes in topology that are short duration should not distablize the routing
mechanism. Advertisements containing changes in topology currently stored are therefore not
disseminated further. A node waits with dissemination if these changes are most likely not yet
stable. Waiting time depends on the time between the first and the best announcement.
224. Define Dynamic source routing.
In an ad hoc networks where nodes exchanges packets from time to time. Dynamic
Source routing divides the task of routing into two separate problems.
i) Routing Recovery: A node only tries to discover a route to destination if it has to send
something to this destination and there is currently no known route
ii).Route Maintenance: If a node is continuously sending packets via route, it has to
make sure that the route is held urgent. As soon as a node detects pbm with the current route it
has ti find an alternative node.
225. Define RTT.(NOV 2012)
Round Trip Time is the length of time it takes for a single to be sent plus the length of
time it takes for an acknowledgement of that signal to be received. This time delay therefore
consists of the transmission times between the two points of a signal

behaviors that mimic gravitational interaction as described in Isaac Newton's law of gravity.
134. Explain handoff types?
Two basic types of handoff are defined
hard handoff
soft handoff.
Hard handoff, the link to the prior base station is terminated before or as the user
is transferred to the new cells base station.
Soft handoff is beneficial because it reduces interference into other cells and
improves performance by using macro diversity.
135. Explain purpose of security?
The purpose of database is to protect unauthorized accessing of data and misuses by
hackers and unauthorized personals. So here the database security comes into the picture.
Database security denotes the system, processes, and procedures that protect a database
from unintended activity.
