Q:
What is the difference between an Interface and an Abstract class?
A: An Abstract class declares have at least one instance method that is declared
abstract which will be implemented by the subclasses. An abstract class can have
instance methods that implement a default behavior. An Interface can only declare
constants and instance methods, but cannot implement default behavior.

Q:
What is the purpose of garbage collection in Java, and when is it used?
A: The purpose of garbage collection is to identify and discard objects that are no
longer needed by a program so that their resources can be reclaimed and reused.
A Java object is subject to garbage collection when it becomes unreachable to the
program in which it is used.
TOP
Q:
Describe synchronization in respect to multithreading.
A: With respect to multithreading, synchronization is the capability to control the
access of multiple threads to shared resources. Without synchonization, it is
possible for one thread to modify a shared variable while another thread is in the
process of using or updating same shared variable. This usually leads to significant
errors.
TOP
Q:
Explain different way of using thread?
A: The thread could be implemented by using runnable interface or by inheriting from
the Thread class. The former is more advantageous, 'cause when you are going for
multiple inheritance..the only interface can help.
TOP
Q:
What are pass by reference and passby value?
A: Pass By Reference means the passing the address itself rather than passing the
value. Passby Value means passing a copy of the value to be passed.
TOP
Q:
What is HashMap and Map?
A: Map is Interface and Hashmap is class that implements that.
TOP
Q:
Difference between HashMap and HashTable?
A: The HashMap class is roughly equivalent to Hashtable, except that it is
unsynchronized and permits nulls. (HashMap allows null values as key and value
whereas Hashtable doesnt allow). HashMap does not guarantee that the order of
the map will remain constant over time. HashMap is non synchronized and
Hashtable is synchronized.
TOP
Q:
Difference between Vector and ArrayList?
A: Vector is synchronized whereas arraylist is not.
TOP
Q:
Difference between Swing and Awt?
A: AWT are heavy-weight componenets. Swings are light-weight components. Hence
swing works faster than AWT.
TOP
Q:
What is the difference between a constructor and a method?
A: A constructor is a member function of a class that is used to create objects of that
class. It has the same name as the class itself, has no return type, and is invoked
using
the
new
operator.
A method is an ordinary member function of a class. It has its own name, a return
type (which may be void), and is invoked using the dot operator.
TOP
Q:
What is an Iterators?
A: Some of the collection classes provide traversal of their contents via a
java.util.Iterator interface. This interface allows you to walk a collection of objects,
operating on each object in turn. Remember when using Iterators that they
contain a snapshot of the collection at the time the Iterator was obtained;
generally it is not advisable to modify the collection itself while traversing an
Iterator.
TOP
Q:
State the significance of public, private, protected, default modifiers both
singly and in combination and state the effect of package relationships on
declared items qualified by these modifiers.
A: public : Public class is visible in other packages, field is visible everywhere (class
must
be
public
too)
private : Private variables or methods may be used only by an instance of the
same class that declares the variable or method, A private feature may only be
accessed
by
the
class
that
owns
the
feature.
protected : Is available to all classes in the same package and also available to all
subclasses of the class that owns the protected feature.This access is provided
even to subclasses that reside in a different package from the class that owns the
protected
feature.
default :What you get by default ie, without any access modifier (ie, public
private or protected).It means that it is visible to all within a particular package.
TOP
Q:
What is an abstract class?
A: Abstract class must be extended/subclassed (to be useful). It serves as a
template. A class that is abstract may not be instantiated (ie, you may not call its
constructor), abstract class may contain static data. Any class with an abstract
method is automatically abstract itself, and must be declared as such.
A class may be declared abstract even if it has no abstract methods. This prevents
it from being instantiated.
TOP
Q:
What is static in java?
A: Static means one per class, not one for each object no matter how many instance
of a class might exist. This means that you can use them without creating an
instance of a class.Static methods are implicitly final, because overriding is done
based on the type of the object, and static methods are attached to a class, not an
object. A static method in a superclass can be shadowed by another static method
in a subclass, as long as the original method was not declared final. However, you
can't override a static method with a nonstatic method. In other words, you can't
change a static method into an instance method in a subclass.
TOP
Q:
What is final?
A: A final class can't be extended ie., final class may not be subclassed. A final
method can't be overridden when its class is inherited. You can't change value of a
final variable (is a constant).

Q:
What if the static modifier is removed from the signature of the main
method?
A: Program compiles. But at runtime throws an error "NoSuchMethodError".
TOP
Q:
What if I write static public void instead of public static void?
A: Program compiles and runs properly.
TOP
Q:
What if I do not provide the String array as the argument to the method?
A: Program compiles but throws a runtime error "NoSuchMethodError".
TOP
Q:
What is the first argument of the String array in main method?
A: The String array is empty. It does not have any element. This is unlike C/C++
where the first element by default is the program name.
TOP
Q:
If I do not provide any arguments on the command line, then the String
array of Main method will be empty of null?
A: It is empty. But not null.
TOP
Q:
How can one prove that the array is not null but empty?
A: Print args.length. It will print 0. That means it is empty. But if it would have been
null then it would have thrown a NullPointerException on attempting to print
args.length.
TOP
Q:
What environment variables do I need to set on my machine in order to
be able to run Java programs?
A: CLASSPATH and PATH are the two variables.
TOP
Q:
Can an application have multiple classes having main method?
A: Yes it is possible. While starting the application we mention the class name to be
run. The JVM will look for the Main method only in the class whose name you have
mentioned. Hence there is not conflict amongst the multiple classes having main
method.
TOP
Q:
Can I have multiple main methods in the same class?
A: No the program fails to compile. The compiler says that the main method is
already defined in the class.
TOP
Q:
Do I need to import java.lang package any time? Why ?
A: No. It is by default loaded internally by the JVM.
TOP
Q:
Can I import same package/class twice? Will the JVM load the package
twice at runtime?
A: One can import the same package or same class multiple times. Neither compiler
nor JVM complains abt it. And the JVM will internally load the class only once no
matter how many times you import the same class.
TOP
Q:
What are Checked and UnChecked Exception?
A: A checked exception is some subclass of Exception (or Exception itself), excluding
class
RuntimeException
and
its
subclasses.
Making an exception checked forces client programmers to deal with the possibility
that
the
exception
will
be
thrown.
eg,
IOException
thrown
by
java.io.FileInputStream's
read()
method
Unchecked exceptions are RuntimeException and any of its subclasses. Class Error
and its subclasses also are unchecked. With an unchecked exception, however, the
compiler
doesn't
force
client
programmers
either
to
catch
the
exception or declare it in a throws clause. In fact, client programmers may not
even
know
that
the
exception
could
be
thrown.
eg,
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException thrown by String's charAt() method Checked
exceptions must be caught at compile time. Runtime exceptions do not need to
be. Errors often cannot be.
TOP
Q:
What is Overriding?
A: When a class defines a method using the same name, return type, and arguments
as a method in its superclass, the method in the class overrides the method in the
superclass.
When the method is invoked for an object of the class, it is the new definition of
the method that is called, and not the method definition from superclass. Methods
may be overridden to be more public, not more private.
TOP
Q:
What are different types of inner classes?
A: Nested top-level classes, Member classes, Local classes, Anonymous classes
Nested top-level classes- If you declare a class within a class and specify the
static modifier, the compiler treats the class just like any other top-level class.
Any class outside the declaring class accesses the nested class with the declaring
class name acting similarly to a package. eg, outer.inner. Top-level inner classes
implicitly have access only to static variables.There can also be inner interfaces.
All
of
these
are
of
the
nested
top-level
variety.
Member classes - Member inner classes are just like other member methods and
member variables and access to the member class is restricted, just like methods
and variables. This means a public member class acts similarly to a nested toplevel class. The primary difference between member classes and nested top-level
classes is that member classes have access to the specific instance of the
enclosing
class.
Local classes - Local classes are like local variables, specific to a block of code.
Their visibility is only within the block of their declaration. In order for the class to
be useful beyond the declaration block, it would need to implement a
more publicly available interface.Because local classes are not members, the
modifiers
public,
protected,
private,
and
static
are
not
usable.
Anonymous classes - Anonymous inner classes extend local inner classes one
level further. As anonymous classes have no name, you cannot provide a
constructor.
Q:
Are the imports checked for validity at compile time? e.g. will the code
containing an import such as java.lang.ABCD compile?
A: Yes the imports are checked for the semantic validity at compile time. The code
containing above line of import will not compile. It will throw an error saying,can
not
resolve
symbol
symbol
:
class
ABCD
location:
package
io
import java.io.ABCD;
TOP
Q:
Does importing a package imports the subpackages as well? e.g. Does
importing com.MyTest.* also import com.MyTest.UnitTests.*?
A: No you will have to import the subpackages explicitly. Importing com.MyTest.* will
import classes in the package MyTest only. It will not import any class in any of it's
subpackage.
TOP
Q:
What is the difference between declaring a variable and defining a
variable?
A: In declaration we just mention the type of the variable and it's name. We do not
initialize
it.
But
defining
means
declaration
+
initialization.
e.g String s; is just a declaration while String s = new String ("abcd"); Or String s
= "abcd"; are both definitions.
TOP
Q:
What is the default value of an object reference declared as an instance
variable?
A: null unless we define it explicitly.
TOP
Q:
Can a top level class be private or protected?
A: No. A top level class can not be private or protected. It can have either "public" or
no modifier. If it does not have a modifier it is supposed to have a default access.If
a top level class is declared as private the compiler will complain that the "modifier
private is not allowed here". This means that a top level class can not be private.
Same is the case with protected.

Q:
What type of parameter passing does Java support?
A: In Java the arguments are always passed by value .

TOP
Q:
Primitive data types are passed by reference or pass by value?
A: Primitive data types are passed by value.
TOP
Q:
Objects are passed by value or by reference?
A: Java only supports pass by value. With objects, the object reference itself is
passed by value and so both the original reference and parameter copy both refer
to the same object .

Q:
What is serialization?
A: Serialization is a mechanism by which you can save the state of an object by
converting it to a byte stream.
TOP
Q:
How do I serialize an object to a file?
A: The class whose instances are to be serialized should implement an interface
Serializable. Then you pass the instance to the ObjectOutputStream which is
connected to a fileoutputstream. This will save the object to a file.
TOP
Q:
Which methods of Serializable interface should I implement?
A: The serializable interface is an empty interface, it does not contain any methods.
So we do not implement any methods.
TOP
Q:
How can I customize the seralization process? i.e. how can one have a
control over the serialization process?
A: Yes it is possible to have control over serialization process. The class should
implement Externalizable interface. This interface contains two methods namely
readExternal and writeExternal. You should implement these methods and write
the logic for customizing the serialization process.
TOP
Q:
What is the common usage of serialization?
A: Whenever an object is to be sent over the network, objects need to be serialized.
Moreover if the state of an object is to be saved, objects need to be serilazed.
TOP
Q:
What is Externalizable interface?
A: Externalizable is an interface which contains two methods readExternal and
writeExternal. These methods give you a control over the serialization mechanism.
Thus if your class implements this interface, you can customize the serialization
process by implementing these methods.
TOP
Q:
What happens to the object references included in the object?
A: The serialization mechanism generates an object graph for serialization. Thus it
determines whether the included object references are serializable or not. This is a
recursive process. Thus when an object is serialized, all the included objects are
also serialized alongwith the original obect.
TOP
Q:
What one should take care of while serializing the object?
A: One should make sure that all the included objects are also serializable. If any of
the objects is not serializable then it throws a NotSerializableException.
TOP
Q:
What happens to the static fields of a class during serialization? Are these
fields serialized as a part of each serialized object?
A:Yes the static fields do get serialized. If the static field is an object then it must
have implemented Serializable interface. The static fields are serialized as a part of
every object. But the commonness of the static fields across all the instances is
maintained even after serialization.
Q:
Does Java provide any construct to find out the size of an object?
A:No there is not sizeof operator in Java. So there is not direct way to determine the
size of an object directly in Java.
TOP
Q:
Does importing a package imports the subpackages as well? e.g. Does
importing com.MyTest.* also import com.MyTest.UnitTests.*?
A: Read the system time just before the method is invoked and immediately after
method returns. Take the time difference, which will give you the time taken by a
method for execution.
To put it in code...
long
start
=
method
long end = System.currentTimeMillis ();
System.currentTimeMillis
();
();
System.out.println ("Time taken for execution is " + (end - start));

Remember that if the time taken for execution is too small, it might show that it is
taking zero milliseconds for execution. Try it on a method which is big enough, in
the sense the one which is doing considerable amout of processing.
TOP
Q:
What are wrapper classes?
A: Java provides specialized classes corresponding to each of the primitive data
types. These are called wrapper classes. They are e.g. Integer, Character, Double
etc.
TOP
Q:
Why do we need wrapper classes?
A: It is sometimes easier to deal with primitives as objects. Moreover most of the
collection classes store objects and not primitive data types. And also the wrapper
classes provide many utility methods also. Because of these resons we need
wrapper classes. And since we create instances of these classes we can store them
in any of the collection classes and pass them around as a collection. Also we can
pass them around as method parameters where a method expects an object.
TOP
Q:
What are checked exceptions?
A: Checked exception are those which the Java compiler forces you to catch. e.g.
IOException are checked Exceptions.
TOP
Q:
What are runtime exceptions?
A: Runtime exceptions are those exceptions that are thrown at runtime because of
either wrong input data or because of wrong business logic etc. These are not
checked by the compiler at compile time.
TOP
Q:
What is the difference between error and an exception?
A: An error is an irrecoverable condition occurring at runtime. Such as OutOfMemory
error. These JVM errors and you can not repair them at runtime. While exceptions
are conditions that occur because of bad input etc. e.g. FileNotFoundException will
be thrown if the specified file does not exist. Or a NullPointerException will take
place if you try using a null reference. In most of the cases it is possible to recover
from an exception (probably by giving user a feedback for entering proper values
etc.).
TOP
Q:
How to create custom exceptions?
A: Your class should extend class Exception, or some more specific type thereof.
TOP
Q:
If I want an object of my class to be thrown as an exception object, what
should I do?
A: The class should extend from Exception class. Or you can extend your class from
some more precise exception type also.
TOP
Q:
If my class already extends from some other class what should I do if I
want an instance of my class to be thrown as an exception object?
A: One can not do anytihng in this scenarion. Because Java does not allow multiple
inheritance and does not provide any exception interface as well.
TOP
Q:
What happens to an unhandled exception?
A: One can not do anytihng in this scenarion. Because Java does not allow multiple
inheritance and does not provide any exception interface as well.
TOP
Q:
How does an exception permeate through the code?
A: An unhandled exception moves up the method stack in search of a matching When
an exception is thrown from a code which is wrapped in a try block followed by
one or more catch blocks, a search is made for matching catch block. If a
matching type is found then that block will be invoked. If a matching type is not
found then the exception moves up the method stack and reaches the caller
method. Same procedure is repeated if the caller method is included in a try catch
block. This process continues until a catch block handling the appropriate type of
exception is found. If it does not find such a block then finally the program
terminates.
TOP
Q:
What are the different ways to handle exceptions?
A: There
are
two
ways
to
handle
exceptions,
1. By wrapping the desired code in a try block followed by a catch block to catch
the
exceptions.
and
2. List the desired exceptions in the throws clause of the method and let the caller
of the method hadle those exceptions.
TOP
Q:
Q: What is the basic difference between the 2 approaches to exception
handling...1> try catch block and 2> specifying the candidate exceptions
in
the
throws
clause?
When should you use which approach?
A: In the first approach as a programmer of the method, you urself are dealing with
the exception. This is fine if you are in a best position to decide should be done in
case of an exception. Whereas if it is not the responsibility of the method to deal
with it's own exceptions, then do not use this approach. In this case use the
second approach. In the second approach we are forcing the caller of the method
to catch the exceptions, that the method is likely to throw. This is often the
approach library creators use. They list the exception in the throws clause and we
must catch them. You will find the same approach throughout the java libraries we
use.
TOP
Q:
Is it necessary that each try block must be followed by a catch block?
A: It is not necessary that each try block must be followed by a catch block. It should
be followed by either a catch block OR a finally block. And whatever exceptions
are likely to be thrown should be declared in the throws clause of the method.
TOP
Q:
If I write return at the end of the try block, will the finally block still
execute?
A: Yes even if you write return as the last statement in the try block and no exception
occurs, the finally block will execute. The finally block will execute and then the
control return.
TOP
Q:
If I write System.exit (0); at the end of the try block, will the finally block
still execute?
A: No in this case the finally block will not execute because when you say
System.exit (0); the control immediately goes out of the program, and thus finally
never executes.
Q:
How are Observer and Observable used?
A: Objects that subclass the Observable class maintain a list of observers. When an
Observable object is updated it invokes the update() method of each of its
observers to notify the observers that it has changed state. The Observer interface
is implemented by objects that observe Observable objects.

Q:
What is synchronization and why is it important?
A: With respect to multithreading, synchronization is the capability to control
the access of multiple threads to shared resources. Without synchronization, it is
possible for one thread to modify a shared object while another thread is in the
process of using or updating that object's value. This often leads to significant
errors.

Q:
How does Java handle integer overflows and underflows?
A: It uses those low order bytes of the result that can fit into the size of the type
allowed by the operation.
TOP
Q:
Does garbage collection guarantee that a program will not run out of
memory?
A: Garbage collection does not guarantee that a program will not run out of memory.
It is possible for programs to use up memory resources faster than they are
garbage collected. It is also possible for programs to create objects that are not
subject
to
garbage
collection
.
TOP
Q:
What is the difference between preemptive scheduling and time slicing?
A: Under preemptive scheduling, the highest priority task executes until it enters the
waiting or dead states or a higher priority task comes into existence. Under time
slicing, a task executes for a predefined slice of time and then reenters the pool of
ready tasks. The scheduler then determines which task should execute next,
based on priority and other factors.
TOP
Q:
When a thread is created and started, what is its initial state?
A: A thread is in the ready state after it has been created and started.
TOP
Q:
What is the purpose of finalization?
A: The purpose of finalization is to give an unreachable object the opportunity to
perform any cleanup processing before the object is garbage collected.
TOP
Q:
What is the Locale class?
A: The Locale class is used to tailor program output to the conventions of a particular
geographic, political, or cultural region.
TOP
Q:
What is the difference between a while statement and a do statement?
A: A while statement checks at the beginning of a loop to see whether the next loop
iteration should occur. A do statement checks at the end of a loop to see whether
the next iteration of a loop should occur. The do statement will always execute the
body of a loop at least once.
TOP
Q:
What is the difference between static and non-static variables?
A: A static variable is associated with the class as a whole rather than with specific
instances of a class. Non-static variables take on unique values with each object
instance.
TOP
Q:
How are this() and super() used with constructors?
A: Othis() is used to invoke a constructor of the same class. super() is used to invoke
a superclass constructor.
TOP
Q:
What are synchronized methods and synchronized statements?
A: Synchronized methods are methods that are used to control access to an object. A
thread only executes a synchronized method after it has acquired the lock for the
method's object or class. Synchronized statements are similar to synchronized
methods. A synchronized statement can only be executed after a thread has
acquired the lock for the object or class referenced in the synchronized statement.

Q:
Can applets communicate with each other?
A: At this point in time applets may communicate with other applets running in the
same virtual machine. If the applets are of the same class, they can communicate
via shared static variables. If the applets are of different classes, then each will
need a reference to the same class with static variables. In any case the basic idea
is to pass the information back and forth through a static variable.
An applet can also get references to all other applets on the same page using the
getApplets() method of java.applet.AppletContext. Once you\'ve got a reference to

an applet, you can communicate with it by using its public members.
It is conceivable to have applets in different virtual machines that talk to a server
somewhere on the Internet and store any data that needs to be serialized there.
Then, when another applet needs this data, it could connect to this same server.
Implementing this is non-trivial.

Q:
How does a try statement determine which catch clause should be used to
handle an exception?
A:
When an exception is thrown within the body of a try statement, the catch clauses
of the try statement are examined in the order in which they appear. The first
catch clause that is capable of handling the exceptionis executed. The remaining
catch clauses are ignored.
Q:
Can an unreachable object become reachable again?
A: An unreachable object may become reachable again. This can happen when the
object's finalize() method is invoked and the object performs an operation which
causes it to become accessible to reachable objects.

Q:
What are synchronized methods and synchronized statements?
A: Synchronized methods are methods that are used to control access to an object. A
thread only executes a synchronized method after it has acquired the lock for the
method's object or class. Synchronized statements are similar to synchronized
methods. A synchronized statement can only be executed after a thread has
acquired the lock for the object or class referenced in the synchronized statement.

TOP
Q:
What modifiers are allowed for methods in an Interface?
A: Only public and abstract modifiers are allowed for methods in interfaces.
TOP
Q:
What are some alternatives to inheritance?
A: Delegation is an alternative to inheritance. Delegation means that you include an
instance of another class as an instance variable, and forward messages to the
instance. It is often safer than inheritance because it forces you to think about
each message you forward, because the instance is of a known class, rather than
a new class, and because it doesn't force you to accept all the methods of the
super class: you can provide only the methods that really make sense. On the
other hand, it makes you write more code, and it is harder to re-use (because it is
not a subclass).
TOP
Q:
What does it mean that a method or field is "static"?
A: Static variables and methods are instantiated only once per class. In other words
they are class variables, not instance variables. If you change the value of a static
variable in a particular object, the value of that variable changes for all instances
of that class.
Static methods can be referenced with the name of the class rather than the name
of a particular object of the class (though that works too). That's how library
methods like System.out.println() work out is a static field in the java.lang.System
class.

Q:

Q:
Considering the basic properties of Vector and ArrayList, where will you
use Vector and where will you use ArrayList?
A: The basic difference between a Vector and an ArrayList is that, vector is
synchronized while ArrayList is not. Thus whenever there is a possibility of multiple
threads accessing the same instance, one should use Vector. While if not multiple
threads are going to access the same instance then use ArrayList. Non
synchronized data structure will give better performance than the synchronized
one.

Q:
What is a output comment?
A: A comment that is sent to the client in the viewable page source.The JSP engine
handles an output comment as uninterpreted HTML text, returning the comment in
the HTML output sent to the client. You can see the comment by viewing the page
source from your Web browser.

Q:
What is a Hidden Comment?
A: A comments that documents the JSP page but is not sent to the client. The JSP
engine ignores a hidden comment, and does not process any code within hidden
comment tags. A hidden comment is not sent to the client, either in the displayed
JSP page or the HTML page source. The hidden comment is useful when you want
to hide or "comment out" part of your JSP page.
You can use any characters in the body of the comment except the closing --%>
combination. If you need to use --%> in your comment, you can escape it by
typing
--%\>.

Q:
What is a Expression?
A: An expression tag contains a scripting language expression that is evaluated,
converted to a String, and inserted where the expression appears in the JSP file.
Because the value of an expression is converted to a String, you can use an
expression

Q:
What is a Declaration?
A: A declaration declares one or more variables or methods for use later in the JSP
source file.
A declaration must contain at least one complete declarative statement. You can
declare any number of variables or methods within one declaration tag, as long as
they are separated by semicolons. The declaration must be valid in the scripting
language
used
in
the
JSP
file.
<%!
<%!

Q:
What is a Scriptlet?
A: A scriptlet can contain any number of language statements, variable or method
declarations, or expressions that are valid in the page scripting language.Within
scriptlet tags, you can
1.Declare variables or methods to use later in the file (see also Declaration).
2.Write expressions valid in the page scripting language (see also Expression).
3.Use any of the JSP implicit objects or any object declared with a <jsp:useBean>
tag.
You must write plain text, HTML-encoded text, or other JSP tags outside the
scriptlet.
Scriptlets are executed at request time, when the JSP engine processes the client
request. If the scriptlet produces output, the output is stored in the out object,
from which you can display it.
TOP
Q:
What are implicit objects? List them?
A: Certain objects that are available for the use in JSP documents without being
declared first. These objects are parsed by the JSP engine and inserted into the
generated servlet. The implicit objects re listed below

Q:
Difference between forward and sendRedirect?
A: When you invoke a forward request, the request is sent to another resource on the
server, without the client being informed that a different resource is going to
process the request. This process occurs completly with in the web container.
When a sendRedirtect method is invoked, it causes the web container to return to
the browser indicating that a new URL should be requested. Because the browser
issues a completly new request any object that are stored as request attributes
before the redirect occurs will be lost. This extra round trip a redirect is slower
than forward.

Q:
Explain the life-cycle mehtods in JSP?
A:
THe generated servlet class for a JSP page implements the HttpJspPage interface
of the javax.servlet.jsp package. The HttpJspPage interface extends the JspPage
interface which inturn extends the Servlet interface of the javax.servlet package.
the generated servlet class thus implements all the methods of the these three
interfaces. The JspPage interface declares only two mehtods - jspInit() and
jspDestroy() that must be implemented by all JSP pages regardless of the clientserver protocol. However the JSP specification has provided the HttpJspPage
interfaec specifically for the JSp pages serving HTTP requests. This interface
declares
one
method
_jspService().
The jspInit()- The container calls the jspInit() to initialize te servlet instance.It is
called before any other method, and is called only once for a servlet instance.
The _jspservice()- The container calls the _jspservice() for each request, passing
it
the
request
and
the
response
objects.
The jspDestroy()- The container calls this when it decides take the instance out of
service. It is the last method called n the servlet instance.
Q:
How do I prevent the output of my JSP or Servlet pages from being
cached by the browser?
A: You will need to set the appropriate HTTP header attributes to prevent the
dynamic content output by the JSP page from being cached by the browser. Just
execute the following scriptlet at the beginning of your JSP pages to prevent them
from being cached at the browser. You need both the statements to take care of
some of the older browser versions.
<%
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");
//HTTP
1.1
response.setHeader("Pragma\","no-cache");
//HTTP
1.0
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server

Q:
How does JSP handle run-time exceptions?
A: You can use the errorPage attribute of the page directive to have uncaught runtime exceptions automatically forwarded to an error processing page. For
example:
<%@ page errorPage=\"error.jsp\" %> redirects the browser to the JSP page
error.jsp if an uncaught exception is encountered during request processing.
Within error.jsp, if you indicate that it is an error-processing page, via the
directive: <%@ page isErrorPage=\"true\" %> Throwable object describing the
exception may be accessed within the error page via the exception implicit object.
Note: You must always use a relative URL as the value for the errorPage attribute.
TOP
Q:
How can I implement a thread-safe JSP page? What are the advantages
and Disadvantages of using it?
A: You can make your JSPs thread-safe by having them implement the
SingleThreadModel interface. This is done by adding the directive <%@ page
isThreadSafe="false" %> within your JSP page. With this, instead of a single
instance of the servlet generated for your JSP page loaded in memory, you will
have N instances of the servlet loaded and initialized, with the service method of
each instance effectively synchronized. You can typically control the number of
instances (N) that are instantiated for all servlets implementing SingleThreadModel
through the admin screen for your JSP engine. More importantly, avoid using the
tag for variables. If you do use this tag, then you should set isThreadSafe to true,
as mentioned above. Otherwise, all requests to that page will access those
variables, causing a nasty race condition. SingleThreadModel is not recommended
for normal use. There are many pitfalls, including the example above of not being
able to use <%! %>. You should try really hard to make them thread-safe the old
fashioned way: by making them thread-safe.

Q:
How do I use a scriptlet to initialize a newly instantiated bean?
A: A jsp:useBean action may optionally have a body. If the body is specified, its
contents will be automatically invoked when the specified bean is instantiated.
Typically, the body will contain scriptlets or jsp:setProperty tags to initialize the
newly instantiated bean, although you are not restricted to using those alone.
The following example shows the today property of the Foo bean initialized to
the current date when it is instantiated. Note that here, we make use of a JSP
expression
within
the
jsp:setProperty
action.
<jsp:useBean id="foo" class="com.Bar.Foo" >
<jsp:setProperty
name="foo"
property="today"
value="<%=java.text.DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(new java.util.Date())
%>" / >
<%-- scriptlets calling bean setter methods go here --%>
</jsp:useBean >

Q:
How can I prevent the word "null" from appearing in my HTML input text
fields when I populate them with a resultset that has null values?
A: You could make a simple wrapper function, like
<%!

%>
(s
blanknull(String
==
null)
s)
\"\"
{
s;
then use it inside your JSP form, like

<input type="text" name="lastName" value="<%=blanknull(lastName)% >" >

Q:
What's a better approach for enabling thread-safe servlets and JSPs?
SingleThreadModel Interface or Synchronization?
A: Although the SingleThreadModel technique is easy to use, and works well for low
volume sites, it does not scale well. If you anticipate your users to increase in the
future, you may be better off implementing explicit synchronization for your
shared data. The key however, is to effectively minimize the amount of code that
is synchronzied so that you take maximum advantage of multithreading.
Also, note that SingleThreadModel is pretty resource intensive from the server\'s
perspective. The most serious issue however is when the number of concurrent
requests exhaust the servlet instance pool. In that case, all the unserviced
requests are queued until something becomes free - which results in poor
performance. Since the usage is non-deterministic, it may not help much even if
you did add more memory and increased the size of the instance pool.

Q:
How can I enable session tracking for JSP pages if the browser has
disabled cookies?
A: We know that session tracking uses cookies by default to associate a session
identifier with a unique user. If the browser does not support cookies, or if cookies
are disabled, you can still enable session tracking using URL rewriting. URL
rewriting essentially includes the session ID within the link itself as a name/value
pair. However, for this to be effective, you need to append the session ID for each
and every link that is part of your servlet response. Adding the session ID to a link
is greatly simplified by means of of a couple of methods: response.encodeURL()
associates a session ID with a given URL, and if you are using redirection,
response.encodeRedirectURL() can be used by giving the redirected URL as input.
Both encodeURL() and encodeRedirectedURL() first determine whether cookies are
supported by the browser; if so, the input URL is returned unchanged since the
session
ID
will
be
persisted
as
a
cookie.
Consider the following example, in which two JSP files, say hello1.jsp and
hello2.jsp, interact with each other. Basically, we create a new session within
hello1.jsp and place an object within this session. The user can then traverse to
hello2.jsp by clicking on the link present within the page. Within hello2.jsp, we
simply extract the object that was earlier placed in the session and display its
contents. Notice that we invoke the encodeURL() within hello1.jsp on the link used
to invoke hello2.jsp; if cookies are disabled, the session ID is automatically
appended to the URL, allowing hello2.jsp to still retrieve the session object. Try
this example first with cookies enabled. Then disable cookie support, restart the
brower, and try again. Each time you should see the maintenance of the session
across pages. Do note that to get this example to work with cookies disabled at
the browser, your JSP engine has to support URL rewriting.
hello1.jsp
<%@
page
<%
Integer
num
session.putValue("num",num);
session=\"true\"
=
new
%>
Integer(100);
String

What is the difference b/w variable declared inside a declaration part and
variable declared in scriplet part?
A: Variable declared inside declaration part is treated as a global variable.that means
after convertion jsp file into servlet that variable will be in outside of service
method or it will be declared as instance variable.And the scope is available to
complete jsp and to complete in the converted servlet class.where as if u declare a
variable inside a scriplet that variable will be declared inside a service method and
the scope is with in the service method.

website.

Q:
Explain the life cycle methods of a Servlet.
A: The javax.servlet.Servlet interface defines the three methods known as life-cycle
method.
public
void
init(ServletConfig
config)
throws
ServletException
public void service( ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res) throws
ServletException,
IOException
public
void
destroy()
First the servlet is constructed, then initialized wih the init() method.
Any request from client are handled initially by the service() method before
delegating to the
doXxx() methods in the case of HttpServlet.
The servlet is removed from service, destroyed with the destroy() methid, then
garbaged collected and finalized.

Q:
Explain ServletContext.
A: ServletContext interface is a window for a servlet to view it's environment. A
servlet can use this interface to get information such as initialization parameters
for the web applicationor servlet container's version. Every web application has
one and only one ServletContext and is accessible to all active resource of that
application.

Q:
What is preinitialization of a servlet?
A: A container doesnot initialize the servlets ass soon as it starts up, it initializes a
servlet when it receives a request for that servlet first time. This is called lazy
loading. The servlet specification defines the <load-on-startup> element, which
can be specified in the deployment descriptor to make the servlet container load
and initialize the servlet as soon as it starts up. The process of loading a servlet
before any request comes in is called preloading or preinitializing a servlet.

Q:
What is the difference between Difference between doGet() and
doPost()?
A: A doGet() method is limited with 2k of data to be sent, and doPost() method
doesn't have this limitation. A request string for doGet() looks like the following:
http://www.allapplabs.com/svt1?p1=v1&p2=v2&...&pN=vN
doPost() method call doesn't need a long text tail after a servlet name in a
request. All parameters are stored in a request itself, not in a request string, and
it's impossible to guess the data transmitted to a servlet only looking at a request
string.
Q:
What is the difference between HttpServlet and GenericServlet?
A: A GenericServlet has a service() method aimed to handle requests. HttpServlet
extends GenericServlet and adds support for doGet(), doPost(), doHead() methods
(HTTP 1.0) plus doPut(), doOptions(), doDelete(), doTrace() methods (HTTP 1.1).
Both these classes are abstract.
Q:
What is the difference between ServletContext and ServletConfig?
A: ServletContext: Defines a set of methods that a servlet uses to communicate
with its servlet container, for example, to get the MIME type of a file, dispatch
requests, or write to a log file.The ServletContext object is contained within the
ServletConfig object, which the Web server provides the servlet when the servlet
is
initialized
ServletConfig: The object created after a servlet is instantiated and its default
constructor is read. It is created to pass initialization information to the servlet.

Q:
Is it possible to share an HttpSession between a JSP and EJB? What
happens when I change a value in the HttpSession from inside an EJB?
A: You can pass the HttpSession as parameter to an EJB method, only if all objects
in session are serializable.This has to be consider as ?passed-by-value", that
means that it?s read-only in the EJB. If anything is altered from inside the EJB, it
won?t be reflected back to the HttpSession of the Servlet Container.The ?pass-byreference? can be used between EJBs Remote Interfaces, as they are remote
references. While it IS possible to pass an HttpSession as a parameter to an EJB
object, it is considered to be ?bad practice ? in terms of object oriented design.
This is because you are creating an unnecessary coupling between back-end
objects (ejbs) and front-end objects (HttpSession). Create a higher-level of
abstraction for your ejb?s api. Rather than passing the whole, fat, HttpSession
(which carries with it a bunch of http semantics), create a class that acts as a
value object (or structure) that holds all the data you need to pass back and forth
between front-end/back-end. Consider the case where your ejb needs to support a
non-http-based client. This higher level of abstraction will be flexible enough to
support it.

Q:
The EJB container implements the EJBHome and EJBObject classes. For
every request from a unique client, does the container create a separate
instance of the generated EJBHome and EJBObject classes?
A: The EJB container maintains an instance pool. The container uses these instances
for the EJB Home reference irrespective of the client request. while refering the
EJB Object classes the container creates a separate instance for each client
request. The instance pool maintainence is up to the implementation of the
container. If the container provides one, it is available otherwise it is not
mandatory for the provider to implement it. Having said that, yes most of the
container providers implement the pooling functionality to increase the
performance of the application server. The way it is implemented is again up to the
implementer.

Q:
Can you control when passivation occurs?
A: The developer, according to the specification, cannot directly control when
passivation occurs. Although for Stateful Session Beans, the container cannot
passivate an instance that is inside a transaction. So using transactions can be a a
strategy to control passivation.
The ejbPassivate() method is called during passivation, so the developer has
control over what to do during this exercise and can implement the require
optimized logic.
Some EJB containers, such as BEA WebLogic, provide the ability to tune the
container to minimize passivation calls.
Taken from the WebLogic 6.0 DTD -"The passivation-strategy can be either
"default" or "transaction". With the default setting the container will attempt to
keep a working set of beans in the cache. With the "transaction" setting, the
container will passivate the bean after every transaction (or method call for a nontransactional invocation).

Q:
What is the advantage of using Entity bean for database operations, over
directly using JDBC API to do database operations? When would I use one
over the other?
A: Entity Beans actually represents the data in a database. It is not that Entity Beans
replaces JDBC API. There are two types of Entity Beans Container Managed and
Bean Mananged. In Container Managed Entity Bean - Whenever the instance of
the bean is created the container automatically retrieves the data from the
DB/Persistance storage and assigns to the object variables in bean for user to
manipulate or use them. For this the developer needs to map the fields in the
database to the variables in deployment descriptor files (which varies for each
vendor).
In the Bean Managed Entity Bean - The developer has to specifically make
connection, retrive values, assign them to the objects in the ejbLoad() which will
be called by the container when it instatiates a bean object. Similarly in the
ejbStore() the container saves the object values back the the persistance storage.
ejbLoad and ejbStore are callback methods and can be only invoked by the
container. Apart from this, when you use Entity beans you dont need to worry
about database transaction handling, database connection pooling etc. which are
taken care by the ejb container. But in case of JDBC you have to explicitly do the
above features. what suresh told is exactly perfect. ofcourse, this comes under the
database transations, but i want to add this. the great thing about the entity
beans of container managed, whenever the connection is failed during the
transaction processing, the database consistancy is mantained automatically. the

container writes the data stored at persistant storage of the entity beans to the
database again to provide the database consistancy. where as in jdbc api, we,
developers has to do manually.

A:
What is EJB QL?

EJB QL is a Query Language provided for navigation across a network of enterprise
beans and dependent objects defined by means of container managed persistence.
EJB QL is introduced in the EJB 2.0 specification. The EJB QL query language
defines finder methods for entity beans with container managed persistenceand is
portable across containers and persistence managers. EJB QL is used for queries
of two types of finder methods: Finder methods that are defined in the home
interface of an entity bean and which return entity objects. Select methods, which
are not exposed to the client, but which are used by the Bean Provider to select
persistent values that are maintained by the Persistence Manager or to select
entity objects that are related to the entity bean on which the query is defined.
TOP
Q:
Brief description about local interfaces?
A: EEJB was originally designed around remote invocation using the Java Remote
Method Invocation (RMI) mechanism, and later extended to support to standard
CORBA transport for these calls using RMI/IIOP. This design allowed for maximum
flexibility in developing applications without consideration for the deployment
scenario, and was a strong feature in support of a goal of component reuse in
J2EE.
Many developers are using EJBs locally -- that is, some or all of their EJB calls are
between beans in a single container.
With this feedback in mind, the EJB 2.0 expert group has created a local interface
mechanism. The local interface may be defined for a bean during development, to
allow streamlined calls to the bean if a caller is in the same container. This does
not involve the overhead involved with RMI like marshalling etc. This facility will
thus improve the performance of applications in which co-location is planned.
Local interfaces also provide the foundation for container-managed relationships
among entity beans with container-managed persistence.
TOP
Q:
What are the special design care that must be taken when you work with
local interfaces?
A: EIt is important to understand that the calling semantics of local interfaces are
different from those of remote interfaces. For example, remote interfaces pass
parameters using call-by-value semantics, while local interfaces use call-byreference.
This means that in order to use local interfaces safely, application developers need
to carefully consider potential deployment scenarios up front, then decide which
interfaces can be local and which remote, and finally, develop the application code
with these choices in mind.
While EJB 2.0 local interfaces are extremely useful in some situations, the longterm costs of these choices, especially when changing requirements and
component reuse are taken into account, need to be factored into the design
decision.

Q:
What happens if remove( ) is never invoked on a session bean?
A: In case of a stateless session bean it may not matter if we call or not as in both
cases nothing is done. The number of beans in cache is managed by the container.
In case of stateful session bean, the bean may be kept in cache till either the
session times out, in which case the bean is removed or when there is a
requirement for memory in which case the data is cached and the bean is sent to
free pool.
TOP
Q:
What is the difference between Message Driven Beans and Stateless
Session beans?
A: In several ways, the dynamic creation and allocation of message-driven bean
instances mimics the behavior of stateless session EJB instances, which exist only
for the duration of a particular method call. However, message-driven beans are
different from stateless session EJBs (and other types of EJBs) in several
significant
ways:
Message-driven beans process multiple JMS messages asynchronously, rather than
processing a serialized sequence of method calls.
Message-driven beans have no home or remote interface, and therefore cannot be
directly accessed by internal or external clients. Clients interact with messagedriven beans only indirectly, by sending a message to a JMS Queue or Topic.
Note: Only the container directly interacts with a message-driven bean by creating
bean instances and passing JMS messages to those instances as necessary.
The Container maintains the entire lifecycle of a message-driven bean; instances
cannot be created or removed as a result of client requests or other API calls.
TOP
Q:
A:
How can I call one EJB from inside of another EJB?

EJBs can be clients of other EJBs. It just works. Use JNDI to locate the Home
Interface of the other bean, then acquire an instance reference, and so forth.
TOP
Q:
What is an EJB Context?
A:
EJBContext is an interface that is implemented by the container, and it is also a
part of the bean-container contract. Entity beans use a subclass of EJBContext
called EntityContext. Session beans use a subclass called SessionContext. These
EJBContext objects provide the bean class with information about its container, the
client using the bean and the bean itself. They also provide other functions. See
the API docs and the spec for more details.
TOP
Q:
A:
The EJB container implements the EJBHome and EJBObject classes. For
every request from a unique client, does the container create a separate
instance of the generated EJBHome and EJBObject classes?
The EJB container maintains an instance pool. The container uses these instances
for the EJB Home reference irrespective of the client request. While refering the
EJB Object classes the container creates a separate instance for each client
request. The instance pool maintainence is up to the implementation of the
container. If the container provides one, it is available otherwise it is not
mandatory for the provider to implement it. Having said that, yes most of the
container providers implement the pooling functionality to increase the
performance of the application server. The way it is implemented is again up to the
implementer.

Q:
What is JMS?
A: JMS is an acronym used for Java Messaging Service. It is Java's answer to creating
software using asynchronous messaging. It is one of the official specifications of
the J2EE technologies and is a key technology.
TOP
Q:
How JMS is different from RPC?
A: In RPC the method invoker waits for the method to finish execution and return the
control back to the invoker. Thus it is completely synchronous in nature. While in
JMS the message sender just sends the message to the destination and continues
it's own processing. The sender does not wait for the receiver to respond. This is
asynchronous behavior.
TOP
Q:
What are the advantages of JMS?
A: JMS is asynchronous in nature. Thus not all the pieces need to be up all the time
for the application to function as a whole. Even if the receiver is down the MOM
will store the messages on it's behalf and will send them once it comes back up.
Thus at least a part of application can still function as there is no blocking.
TOP
Q:
Are you aware of any major JMS products available in the market?
A: IBM's MQ Series is one of the most popular product used as Message Oriented
Middleware. Some of the other products are SonicMQ, iBus etc. Weblogic

TOP
Q:
What are the different types of messages available in the JMS API?
A: Message,
TextMessage,
BytesMessage,
StreamMessage,
ObjectMessage,
MapMessage are the different messages available in the JMS API.
TOP
Q:
What are the different messaging paradigms JMS supports?
A: Publish and Subscribe i.e. pub/suc and Point to Point i.e. p2p.
TOP
Q:
What is the difference between topic and queue?
A: A topic is typically used for one to many messaging i.e. it supports publish
subscribe model of messaging. While queue is used for one-to-one messaging i.e.
it supports Point to Point Messaging.
TOP
Q:
What is the role of JMS in enterprise solution development?
A: JMS
is
typically
used
in
the
following
scenarios
1. Enterprise Application Integration: - Where a legacy application is integrated
with
a
new
application
via
messaging.
2. B2B or Business to Business: - Businesses can interact with each other via
messaging because JMS allows organizations to cooperate without tightly coupling
their
business
systems.
3. Geographically dispersed units: - JMS can ensure safe exchange of data
amongst
the
geographically
dispersed
units
of
an
organization.
4. One to many applications: - The applications that have to push data in packet
to huge number of clients in a one-to-many fashion are good candidates for the
use JMS. Typical such applications are Auction Sites, Stock Quote Services etc.
TOP
Q:
What is the use of Message object?
A: Message is a light weight message having only header and properties and no
payload. Thus if the received are to be notified abt an event, and no data needs to
be exchanged then using Message can be very efficient.
TOP
Q:
What is the basic difference between Publish Subscribe model and P2P
model?
A: Publish Subscribe model is typically used in one-to-many situation. It is unreliable
but very fast. P2P model is used in one-to-one situation. It is highly reliable.
TOP
Q:
What is the use of BytesMessage?
A: BytesMessage contains an array of primitive bytes in it's payload. Thus it can be
used for transfer of data between two applications in their native format which
may not be compatible with other Message types. It is also useful where JMS is
used purely as a transport between two systems and the message payload is
opaque to the JMS client. Whenever you store any primitive type, it is converted
into it's byte representation and then stored in the payload. There is no boundary
line between the different data types stored. Thus you can even read a long as
short. This would result in erroneous data and hence it is advisable that the
payload be read in the same order and using the same type in which it was
created by the sender.
TOP
Q:
What is the use of StreamMessage?
A: StreamMessage carries a stream of Java primitive types as it's payload. It contains
some conveient methods for reading the data stored in the payload. However
StreamMessage prevents reading a long value as short, something that is allwed
in case of BytesMessage. This is so because the StreamMessage also writes the
type information alonwgith the value of the primitive type and enforces a set of
strict conversion rules which actually prevents reading of one primitive type as
another.
TOP
Q:
What is the use of TextMessage?
A: TextMessage contains instance of java.lang.String as it's payload. Thus it is very
useful for exchanging textual data. It can also be used for exchanging complex
character data such as an XML document.
TOP
Q:
What is the use of ObjectMessage?
A: ObjectMessage contains a Serializable java object as it's payload. Thus it allows
exchange of Java objects between applications. This in itself mandates that both
the applications be Java applications. The consumer of the message must typecast
the object received to it's appropriate type. Thus the consumer should before hand
know the actual type of the object sent by the sender. Wrong type casting would
result in ClassCastException. Moreover the class definition of the object set in the
payload should be available on both the machine, the sender as well as the
consumer. If the class definition is not available in the consumer machine, an
attempt to type cast would result in ClassNotFoundException. Some of the MOMs
might support dynamic loading of the desired class over the network, but the JMS
specification does not mandate this behavior and would be a value added service if
provided by your vendor. And relying on any such vendor specific functionality
would hamper the portability of your application. Most of the time the class need
to be put in the classpath of both, the sender and the consumer, manually by the
developer.
TOP
Q:
What is the use of MapMessage?
A: A MapMessage carries name-value pair as it's payload. Thus it's payload is similar
to the java.util.Properties object of Java. The values can be Java primitives or their
wrappers.
TOP
Q:
What is the difference between BytesMessage and StreamMessage??
A: BytesMessage stores the primitive data types by converting them to their byte
representation. Thus the message is one contiguous stream of bytes. While the
StreamMessage maintains a boundary between the different data types stored
Q:
because it also stores the type information along with the value of the primitive
being stored. BytesMessage allows data to be read using any type. Thus even if
your payload contains a long value, you can invoke a method to read a short and
it will return you something. It will not give you a semantically correct data but
the call will succeed in reading the first two bytes of data. This is strictly prohibited
in the StreamMessage. It maintains the type information of the data being stored
and enforces strict conversion rules on the data being read.
What is point-to-point messaging?

A: With point-to-point message passing the sending application/client establishes a
named message queue in the JMS broker/server and sends messages to this
queue. The receiving client registers with the broker to receive messages posted
to this queue. There is a one-to-one relationship between the sending and
receiving clients.
TOP
Q:
Can two different JMS services talk to each other? For instance, if A and B
are two different JMS providers, can Provider A send messages directly to
Provider B? If not, then can a subscriber to Provider A act as a publisher
to Provider B?
A: The answers are no to the first question and yes to the second. The JMS
specification does not require that one JMS provider be able to send messages
directly to another provider. However, the specification does require that a JMS
client must be able to accept a message created by a different JMS provider, so a
message received by a subscriber to Provider A can then be published to Provider
B. One caveat is that the publisher to Provider B is not required to handle a
JMSReplyTo header that refers to a destination that is specific to Provider A.
TOP
Q:
What is the advantage of persistent message delivery compared to
nonpersistent delivery?
A: If the JMS server experiences a failure, for example, a power outage, any
message that it is holding in primary storage potentially could be lost. With
persistent storage, the JMS server logs every message to secondary storage. (The
logging occurs on the front end, that is, as part of handling the send operation
from the message producing client.) The logged message is removed from
secondary storage only after it has been successfully delivered to all consuming
clients .
TOP
Q:
Give an example of using the publish/subscribe model.
A: JMS can be used to broadcast shutdown messages to clients connected to the
Weblogic server on a module wise basis. If an application has six modules, each
module behaves like a subscriber to a named topic on the server.
TOP
Q:
Why doesn't the JMS API provide end-to-end synchronous message
delivery and notification of delivery?
A: Some messaging systems provide synchronous delivery to destinations as a
mechanism for implementing reliable applications. Some systems provide clients
with various forms of delivery notification so that the clients can detect dropped or
ignored messages. This is not the model defined by the JMS API.
JMS API messaging provides guaranteed delivery via the once-and-only-once
delivery semantics of PERSISTENT messages. In addition, message consumers can
insure reliable processing of messages by using either CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE
mode or transacted sessions. This achieves reliable delivery with minimum
synchronization and is the enterprise messaging model most vendors and
developers
prefer.
The JMS API does not define a schema of systems messages (such as delivery
notifications). If an application requires acknowledgment of message receipt, it
can
define
an
application-level
acknowledgment
message.

How is a java object message delivered to a non-java Client?
A: It is according to the specification that the message sent should be received in the

message is transferred to the other end.

Q:
What is Struts?
A: The core of the Struts framework is a flexible control layer based on standard
technologies like Java Servlets, JavaBeans, ResourceBundles, and XML, as well as
various Jakarta Commons packages. Struts encourages application architectures
based on the Model 2 approach, a variation of the classic Model-View-Controller
(MVC) design paradigm.
Struts provides its own Controller component and integrates with other
technologies to provide the Model and the View. For the Model, Struts can interact
with standard data access technologies, like JDBC and EJB, as well as most any
third-party packages, like Hibernate, iBATIS, or Object Relational Bridge. For the
View, Struts works well with JavaServer Pages, including JSTL and JSF, as well as
Velocity Templates, XSLT, and other presentation systems.
The Struts framework provides the invisible underpinnings every professional web
application needs to survive. Struts helps you create an extensible development
environment for your application, based on published standards and proven design
patterns.

Definitions files can be added to the struts-config.xml file through <messageresources /> tag.
Example:
<message-resources parameter=\"MessageResources\" />.
TOP
Q:
What is Action Class?
A: The Action Class is part of the Model and is a wrapper around the business logic.
The purpose of Action Class is to translate the HttpServletRequest to the business
logic. To use the Action, we need to Subclass and overwrite the execute() method.
In the Action Class all the database/business processing are done. It is advisable
to perform all the database related stuffs in the Action Class. The ActionServlet
(commad) passes the parameterized class to Action Form using the execute()
method. The return type of the execute method is ActionForward which is used by
the Struts Framework to forward the request to the file as per the value of the
returned ActionForward object.
TOP
Q:
What is ActionForm?
A: An ActionForm is a JavaBean that extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm.
ActionForm maintains the session state for web application and the ActionForm
object is automatically populated on the server side with data entered from a form
on the client side.

Q:
What is Struts Validator Framework?
A: Struts Framework provides the functionality to validate the form data. It can be

Framework emits the java scripts and it can be used validate the form data on the
client browser. Server side validation of form can be accomplished by sub classing
your From Bean with DynaValidatorForm class.
The Validator framework was developed by David Winterfeldt as third-party addon to Struts. Now the Validator framework is a part of Jakarta Commons project
and it can be used with or without Struts. The Validator framework comes
integrated with the Struts Framework and can be used without doing any extra
settings.

Q:
Give the Details of XML files used in Validator Framework?
A: The Validator Framework uses two XML configuration files validator-rules.xml and
validation.xml. The validator-rules.xml defines the standard validation routines,
these are reusable and used in validation.xml. to define the form specific
validations. The validation.xml defines the validations applied to a form bean.

Q:
How can I implement a thread-safe JSP page? What are the advantages
and Disadvantages of using it?
A: You can make your JSPs thread-safe by having them implement the
SingleThreadModel interface. This is done by adding the directive <%@ page
isThreadSafe="false" %> within your JSP page. With this, instead of a single
instance of the servlet generated for your JSP page loaded in memory, you will
have N instances of the servlet loaded and initialized, with the service method of
each instance effectively synchronized. You can typically control the number of
instances (N) that are instantiated for all servlets implementing SingleThreadModel
through the admin screen for your JSP engine. More importantly, avoid using the
tag for variables. If you do use this tag, then you should set isThreadSafe to true,
as mentioned above. Otherwise, all requests to that page will access those
variables, causing a nasty race condition. SingleThreadModel is not recommended
for normal use. There are many pitfalls, including the example above of not being
able to use <%! %>. You should try really hard to make them thread-safe the old
fashioned way: by making them thread-safe .

Q:
What's a better approach for enabling thread-safe servlets and JSPs?
SingleThreadModel Interface or Synchronization?
A: Although the SingleThreadModel technique is easy to use, and works well for low
volume sites, it does not scale well. If you anticipate your users to increase in the
future, you may be better off implementing explicit synchronization for your
shared data. The key however, is to effectively minimize the amount of code that
is synchronzied so that you take maximum advantage of multithreading.
Also, note that SingleThreadModel is pretty resource intensive from the server\'s
perspective. The most serious issue however is when the number of concurrent
requests exhaust the servlet instance pool. In that case, all the unserviced
requests are queued until something becomes free - which results in poor
performance. Since the usage is non-deterministic, it may not help much even if
you did add more memory and increased the size of the instance pool.
TOP
Q:
How can I enable session tracking for JSP pages if the browser has
disabled cookies?
A: We know that session tracking uses cookies by default to associate a session
identifier with a unique user. If the browser does not support cookies, or if cookies
are disabled, you can still enable session tracking using URL rewriting. URL
rewriting essentially includes the session ID within the link itself as a name/value
pair. However, for this to be effective, you need to append the session ID for each
and every link that is part of your servlet response. Adding the session ID to a link
is greatly simplified by means of of a couple of methods: response.encodeURL()
associates a session ID with a given URL, and if you are using redirection,
response.encodeRedirectURL() can be used by giving the redirected URL as input.
Both encodeURL() and encodeRedirectedURL() first determine whether cookies are
supported by the browser; if so, the input URL is returned unchanged since the
session
ID
will
be
persisted
as
a
cookie.
Consider the following example, in which two JSP files, say hello1.jsp and
hello2.jsp, interact with each other. Basically, we create a new session within
hello1.jsp and place an object within this session. The user can then traverse to
hello2.jsp by clicking on the link present within the page. Within hello2.jsp, we
simply extract the object that was earlier placed in the session and display its
contents. Notice that we invoke the encodeURL() within hello1.jsp on the link used
to invoke hello2.jsp; if cookies are disabled, the session ID is automatically
appended to the URL, allowing hello2.jsp to still retrieve the session object. Try
this example first with cookies enabled. Then disable cookie support, restart the
brower, and try again. Each time you should see the maintenance of the session
across pages. Do note that to get this example to work with cookies disabled at
the browser, your JSP engine has to support URL rewriting.

How could I get distinct entries from a table?
A: The SELECT statement in conjunction with DISTINCT lets you select a set of
distinct values from a table in a database. The values selected from the database
table would of course depend on the various conditions that are specified in the
SQL
query.
Example
SELECT DISTINCT empname FROM emptable
TOP
Q:
How to get the results of a Query sorted in any order?
A: You can sort the results and return the sorted results to your program by using
ORDER BY keyword thus saving you the pain of carrying out the sorting yourself.
The
ORDER
BY
keyword
is
used
for
sorting.
SELECT empname, age, city FROM emptable ORDER BY empname
TOP
Q:
A:
How can I find the total number of records in a table?

You
could
use
the
COUNT
keyword
example
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM emp WHERE age>40

TOP
Q:
What is GROUP BY?
A: The GROUP BY keywords have been added to SQL because aggregate functions
(like SUM) return the aggregate of all column values every time they are called.
Without the GROUP BY functionality, finding the sum for each individual group of
column values was not possible.
TOP
Q:
What is the difference among "dropping a table", "truncating a table" and
"deleting all records" from a table.
A: Dropping : (Table structure + Data are deleted), Invalidates the dependent
objects ,Drops the indexes
Truncating: (Data alone deleted), Performs an automatic commit, Faster than
delete
Delete : (Data alone deleted), Doesnt perform automatic commit

Q:
Difference between a "where" clause and a "having" clause.
A: Having clause is used only with group functions whereas Where is not used with.
TOP
Q:
A:
What's the difference between a primary key and a unique key?

Both primary key and unique enforce uniqueness of the column on which they are
defined. But by default primary key creates a clustered index on the column,
where are unique creates a nonclustered index by default. Another major
difference is that, primary key doesn't allow NULLs, but unique key allows one
NULL only.
TOP
Q:
What are cursors? Explain different types of cursors. What are the
disadvantages of cursors? How can you avoid cursors?
A: Cursors allow row-by-row prcessing of the resultsets.
Types of cursors: Static, Dynamic, Forward-only, Keyset-driven. See books online
for more information.
Disadvantages of cursors: Each time you fetch a row from the cursor, it results in
a network roundtrip, where as a normal SELECT query makes only one rowundtrip,
however large the resultset is. Cursors are also costly because they require more
resources and temporary storage (results in more IO operations). Furthere, there
are restrictions on the SELECT statements that can be used with some types of
cursors.
Most of the times, set based operations can be used instead of cursors.
TOP
Q:
What are triggers? How to invoke a trigger on demand?
A: Triggers are special kind of stored procedures that get executed automatically
when an INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE operation takes place on a table.
Triggers can't be invoked on demand. They get triggered only when an associated
action (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) happens on the table on which they are
defined.
Triggers are generally used to implement business rules, auditing. Triggers can
also be used to extend the referential integrity checks, but wherever possible, use
constraints for this purpose, instead of triggers, as constraints are much faster.
Q:
What is a join and explain different types of joins.
A: Joins are used in queries to explain how different tables are related. Joins also let
you select data from a table depending upon data from another table.
Types of joins: INNER JOINs, OUTER JOINs, CROSS JOINs. OUTER JOINs are
further classified as LEFT OUTER JOINS, RIGHT OUTER JOINS and FULL OUTER
JOINS.
TOP
Q:
What is a self join?
A:Self join is just like any other join, except that two instances of the same
table will be joined in the query.

why?

The method - test(Customer cust) will be called. This will happen because while resolving calls to overloaded
