First Interview: 10-10-2009

1)How many ways are there to create an object?
i) Using new operator:
Test s=new Test();
ii) Factory method:
Thread t=Thread.currentThread();
iii) newInstance():
Class c=Class.forName(Test);
Object obj=c.newInstance();
creates Test class Object.
Test t=(Test)obj;
iv) clone():
Test t1=new Test(10,20);
Test t2=t1.clone();
v) Deserialization:
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(Test.txt);
ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream(fis);
UserDefSerCls uds= UserDefSerCls) Ois.readObject();
Ois.close();
2) What are the differences b/w HashMap and HashSet?
HashMap
It stores the data in key, value format.

HashSet
It stores grouped data.

It allows duplicate elements as values.

It does not allow any duplicates.

It implements Map

It implements Set.

It allows only one NULL key.

It does not allow NULL .

3) What is the difference b/w wait(-), sleep(-)& wait(-),yield()?

Wait(-)
Running to Waiting/ Sleeping/Block.

Sleep(-)
Do

It makes the current thread to sleep upto the

given seconds and it could sleep less than
the given seconds if it receives
notify()/notifyAll() call.

It makes the current thread to sleep for exactly

the given seconds.

In this case, the locks will be released before

going into waiting state so that the other
threads that are waiting on that object will
use it.

In case of sleep(), once the thread is entered

into synchronized block/method, no other
thread will be able to enter into that
method/block.

Causes current thread to wait until either

another thread invokes the notify()

method or the notifyAll() method for
this object, or a specified amount of time has
elapsed.
Yield() when a task invokes yield(), it changes from Running state to Runnable state.
making currently executing thread to temporarily pause and allow other threads to execute.
*4) Can we create a userdefined immutable class?
Yes.
i)
Make the class as final and
ii)
make the data members as private and final.
*5) What are the differences b/w String and StringBuffer?
String
It is immutable.

StringBuffer
It is mutable.

It wont give any additional space.

gives 16 additional characters memory

space.

Not Synchronized performance high

Synchronized class Low performance

Not contains append(), insert()

This class contains append(), insert()

6) Which Collections F/W classes did you use in your project?

List, ArrayList, LinkedListadd()
Set, TreeSet, HashSet-HashMapput(), get(), entrySet(), keyset()
Map.Entry
Iterator----hasNext(), next()
ListIterator.
7) Can you write the simple code for HashMap?
HashMap<String,String> hm=new HashMap<String,String>();
hm.put(key1,value1);
hm.put(key2,value2);
hm.put(key3,value3);
Set set=hm.keySet();

// gives keys Set i.e., {key1,key2,key3}

Iterator<string> itr=set.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()){
//true.false
String empkeys=itr.next(); //for keys
String empvalnames=hm.get(empkeys); //gives values by taking keys.

System.out.println(empname+empvalnames+empid+empkeys);
}
8) What are thread states?
i) Start: Thread thread=new Thread();
ii) Runnable: looking for its turn to be picked for execution by the Thread Schedular based
on thead priorities. (setPriority())
iii) Running: The Processor is actively executing the thread code. It runs until it becomes
blocked, or voluntarily gives up its turn with Thread.yield().
Because of Context Switching overhead, yield() should not be used very
frequently.
iv) Waiting: A thread is in a blocked state while it waits for some external processing such
as file I/O to finish.
Sleepingsleep(): Java threads are forcibly put to sleep (suspended) with this overloaded method.
Thread.sleep(milliseconds); Thread.sleep(milliseconds,nanoseconds);
Blocking on I/O: Will move to runnable after I/O condition like reading bytes of data etc changes.
Blocked on Synchronization: will move to Runnable when a Lock is acquired.
v) Dead: The thread is finished working.
How to avoid Deadlock:
1) Avoid a thread holding multiple locks---If no thread attempts to hold more than one lock, then no deadlock occurs.
2) Reordering lock acquisition:-If we require threads to always
acquire locks in a particular order, then no deadlock occurs.

9) What are differences b/w concrete,abstract classes and interface & they are given?
Concrete class: A class of only Concrete methods is called Concrete Class.
For this, object instantiation is possible directly.
A class can extends one class and implements many interfaces.
Abstract class:
Interface:

*A class of only Concrete or only Abstract

or both.

only abstract methods.

*Any java class can extend only one

abstract class.

A class can implements any no. of interfaces

(this gives multiple interface inheritance )

*It wont force the programmer to

implement/override all its methods.

It forces the programmer to implement all its

methods

*It takes less execution time than interface.

Interface takes more execution time due to its

complex hierarchy.
* It wont allow any constructor.

* It allows constructor.
This class cant be instantiated directly.

It cant be instantiated but it can refer to its

subclass objects.

A class must be abstract when it consist at

least one abstract method.
It gives less scope than an Interface.

It gives more scope than an abstract class.

It allows both variable & constants

declaration.

By default, methodspublic abstract

variablespublic static final.

It allows methods definitions or

declarations whenever we want.

It allows methods declarations whenever we

want . But it involves complexity.

It gives reusability hence it cant be

declared as final.

Since they give reusability hence they must not

be declared as final.

10)

Can you create a userdefined immutable class like String?

Yes, by making the class as final and its data members as private, final.

11)

Name some struts supplied tags?

a) struts_html.tld
b) struts_bean.tld
c) struts_logic.tld
d) struts_nested.tld
d) struts_template.tld
e) struts_tiles.tld.

12)

How to retieve the objects from an ArrayList?

List list=new ArrayList();

list.add(element1);
list.add(element2);
list.add(element3);

// List<String> list=new ArrayList<String>();

list.add(element1);
list.add(element2);
list.add(element3);
// Iterator<String> iterator=list.iterator();
for(String str:list)
s.o.p(str); }

Iterator iterator=list.iterator();
while(iterator.hasNext()){
String str=(String)itr.next();
S.o.p(string);
}
}
13) What are versions of your current project technologies?
Java 5.0; Servlets 2.4, Jsp 2.0; struts 1.3.4 ; spring 2.0; Hibernate 3.2, Oracle 9i. weblogic 8.5.
14) What is Quality?
It is a Measure of excellence.
state of being free from defects, deficiencies, and significant variations.
A product or service that bears its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs."
15) Can I take a class as private?
Yes, but it is declare to inner class, not to outer class.
If we are declaring "private" to outer class nothing can be
accessed from that outer class to inner class.
16)

How can you clone an object?

A a1=new ();
B a11=a1.clone();

17) What methods are there in Cloneable interface?

Since Cloneable is a Marker/Tag interface, no methods present.
When a class implements this interface that class obtains some special behavior and that
will be realized by the JVM.
18)
19)

What is the struts latest version?

Struts 2.0
How are you using Statement like interface methods even without knowing their
implementations classes in JDBC?

20) Which JSP methods can be overridden?

jspInit() & jspDestroy().
21) Explain the JSP life-cycle methods?
1. Page translation: The page is parsed & a Java file containing the corresponding servlet is
created.
2. Page compilation: The Java file is compiled.
3. Load class:
The compiled class is loaded.
4 .Create instance: An instance of the servlet is created.
5. Call jspInit():
This method is called before any other
method to allow initialization.
6. Call _jspService(): This method is called for each request. (cant be overridden)
7. Call jspDestroy(): The container calls this when it decides take the instance out of service.
It is the last method called the servlet instance.

22) What Design Patterns are you using in your project?
i) MVCseparates roles using different technologies,
ii) Singleton Java classTo satisfy the Servlet Specification, a servlet must be a Single
Instance multiple thread component.
iii) Front Controller A Servlet developed as FrontController can traps only the requests.
iv) D.T.O/ V.OData Transfer Object/Value object is there to send huge amount of data
from one lalyer to another layer.
It avoids Network Round trips.
v) IOC/Dependency Injection F/w s/w or container can automatically instantiates the
objects implicitly and injects the dependent data to that object.
vi) Factory method It wont allows object instantiation from out-side of the calss.
vii) View Helper It is there to develop a JSP without Java code so that readability,
re-usability will become easy.
23) What is Singleton Java class & its importance?
A Java class that allows to create only one object per JVM is called Singleton Java class.
Ex: In Struts f/w, the ActionServlet is a Singleton Java class.
Use: Instead of creating multiple objects for a Java class having same data, it is recommended
to create only one object & use it for multiple no. of times.
24) What are the differences b/w perform() & execute()?
perform() is an deprecated method.
25) What are the drawbacks of Struts? Is it MVC-I or II? Struts is MVC-II
1) Struts 1.x components are API dependent. Because Action & FormBean classes must
extend from the Struts 1.x APIs pre-defined classes.
2) Since applications are API dependent hence their Unit testing becomes complex.
3) Struts allows only JSP technology in developing View-layer components.
4) Struts application Debugging is quite complex.
5) Struts gives no built-in AJAX support. (for asynchronous communication)
Note:

In Struts 1.x, the form that comes on the Browser-Window can be displayed
under no control of F/W s/w & Action class.

26) What are the differences b/w struts, spring and hibernate?
Struts: allows to develop only webapplications and
it cant support POJO/POJI model programming.
Spring: is useful in developing all types of Java applications and
support POJO/POJI model programming.

Hibernate: is used to develop DB independent persistence logic

It also supports POJO/POJI model programming.
27) What are differences b/w Servlets & Jsp?
Servlets:
i) It requires Recompilation and Reloading when we do modifications in a Servlet.(some servers)
ii) Every Servlet must be configured in web.xml.
iii) It is providing less amount of implicit objects support.
iv) Since it consists both HTML & B.logic hence modification in one logic may disturbs
the other logic.
v) No implicit Exception Handling support.
vi) Since it requires strong Java knowledge hence non-java programmers shows no interest.
vii) Keeping HTML code in Servlets is quite complex.
JSP:
i) No need of Recompilation & Reloading when we do modifications in a JSP page.
ii) We need not to Configure a JSP in a web.xml.
iii) It is providing huge amount of Implicit Objects support.
iv) Since Html & Java code are separated hence no disturbance while changing logic.
v) It is providing implicit XML Exception Handling support.
vi) It is easy to learn & implement since it is tags based.
vii) It allows to develop custom tags.
viii) It gives JSTL support.
(JSP Standard Tag LibraryIt provides more tags that will help to develop a JSP
without using Java code).
ix) It gives all benefits of Servlets.
28) What is the difference b/w ActionServlet & Servlet?
ActionServlet: It is a predefined Singleton Java class and it traps all the requests
coming to Server. It acts as a Front-Controller in Struts 1.x.
Servlet: a Java class that extends HttpServlet/GenericServlet or implements Servlet
interface and is a Server side technology to develop dynamic web pages.
It is a Single instance multiple thread component. It need not be a Singleton Java class.
29) What are Access Specifiers & modifiers?
i) public- Universal access specifier.
--can be used along with: class, innerclass, Interface, variable, constructor, method.
ii) protectd Inherited access specifier.
--can be used along with: innerclass, variable, method, constructor.
iii) default Package access specifier(with in the package).
--can be used along with: class, innerclass, interface, variable, constructor, method.
iv) private Native access specifier.
-- can be used along with: innerclass, variable, constructor, method.
Some other access modifiers:
i) static------------innerclass,variable,block,method.
ii) abstract----- class,method.
iii) final--------------class,variable,method.
iv) synchronized---block,method.
v) transient---------variable.

vi) native-------------method.
vii) volatile-----------variable
viii) strict fp-----------variable
30) Which JSP tag is used to display error validation?
In Source page:
<%@page errorPage=error-page-name.jsp>
In Error page:
<%@page isErrorPage=true>
31) What are the roles of EJBContainer ?
An EJB container is the world in which an EJB bean lives.
The container services requests from the EJB, forwards requests from the client to the EJB, and interacts
with the EJB server.
The container provider must provide transaction support, security and persistence to beans.
It is also responsible for running the beans and for ensuring that the beans are protected from the outside
world.
32) If double is added to String then what is the result?
Double + String=String

< appender name="FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
logger.debug("Hi");
logger.info("Test Log");
logger.error()
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(SampleLogtest.class);
35) What are the functions of service()?
protected void service(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
Receives standard HTTP requests from the public service method and dispatches them to the doXXX methods
defined in this class. This method is an HTTP-specific version of the
public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
Dispatches client requests to the protected service method.
There's no need to override this method.
36) How do we get the container related information?

By using ServletContext object.

HttpSession

sessionCreated(hse)
sessionDestroyed(hse)

HttpSessionEvent (hse)

HttpSessionListener

From Servlet 2.4 onwards, EventHandling is allowed on special objects of webapplication

like ServletContext, ServletRequest, HttpSession objects.
ServletRequest:
By doing EventHandling on ServletRequest object, we can keep track of
each request object creation time & destruction time. Based on this, we can
find out request processing time.
HttpSession:
By performing EventHandling on HttpSession object, we can find out
session object creation time & destruction time. Based on this, we can
know the time taken by the each user to work with session.
Procedure to configure Listeners with webapplication
1)
2)

Develop a Java class implementing appropriate Listener

& place it in WEB-INF/classes folder.
Configure that Listener class name in web.xml by using <listener-class>

<hibernate-mapping default-cascade="none" default-access="property" defaultlazy="true"
auto-import="true">
<class name="CustomerOrder" table="CustomerOrder" mutable="true"
polymorphism="implicit" dynamic-update="false" dynamic-insert="false" selectbefore-update="false" optimistic-lock="version">
<composite-id name="orderId" class="OrderId" mapped="false" unsavedvalue="undefined">
<key-property name="customerId" column="customer_id" />
<key-property name="orderTime" column="order_time" />
</composite-id>
<property name="orderDescription" unique="false" optimistic-lock="true" lazy="false"

work. This is done via a Subversion repository. Syncro SVN Client supports the versions 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and
1.6 of the SVN repository format
1. Expansion. The number of programmers doubled and we didn't want to fork out for the extra VSS
licenses
2. Bugs. VSS is good at maintaining the latest version of a file, but histories often got corrupted.
3. More bugs. The checking/recovery tools were useless as they started crashing when the database got
very large.
183) What is Servlet Chaining?
Servlet Chaining is a method of processing the request using multiple servlets as a chain.
184) What is the use of DyanaActionForm?
It allows Declarative data population that avoids recompilation.
185) prototype of execute(-,-,-,-)?
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping am,
ActionForm af,
HttpServletRequest req,

HttpServletResponse resp)
186) Difference b/w ActionForm, DynaActionForm and DynaValidatorForm?
All three are JavaBean Classes that can maintain the session state for web application.
The ActionForm object is automatically populated on the server side with data
entered from a form on the client side.
An ActionForm/DynaValidateForm can have getter(),Setter(), reset() and the validate() methods that can
be defined in our ActionForm or in Action class itself.
*

If any changes are made to the properties, code need to be recompiled.

Here comes the DynaActionForm to rescue. It allows properites to be specified in Struts-cofig.xml file there
by avoiding the recompilation of the code.
Also there is no need to have a Form Bean for every page that had getter and
setter method for each of the field on the page.
This is how it can be declared in struts config file:
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="employeeForm"
type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">
<form-property name="fname" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
</form-beans>
187) How the DispatchAction knows, when it is pointed by multiple JSPs,
which jsp request execute which DispatchAction method to process the request by
executing the B.logic?
JSP sends the method name along with the request as
additional request parameter to DispatchAction.
function=insert, update, delete.(methods in OurAction)
Take a parameter attribute that represents all the methods of DispathAction class that
configured in Stuts-Config.xml using <action-mappings>.
Take the different JSP forms where property=parameter value and value=method-name
under the hidden tag.(<input name= type= value= >)
<action-mappings>
<action path=/controller1
name=bean
type=OurAction //name of the DispathAction
parameter=function scope=request/>
Add.jsp: <html: hidden property=function value=insert>
Modify.jsp: <html: hidden property=function value=update>
Delete.jsp: <html: hidden property=function value=delete>

188) Types of Action classes in Struts?(8)

Action to execute B.logic by keeping in execute() or to place request processing logic.
ForwardAction It is there to forward/transfer the control from one web resource to another
through the controller.(i.e.,according to MVC principle, any two JSPs
should not communicate directly. Use ForwardAction that will configured in
Struts-config.xml)
IncludeAction It is there to include response of JSP to another through controller.
DispatchAction It groups the related Action classes into single Action class and allows
multiple user defined methods as execute() to differentiate the B.logic.
(so that multiple JSPs giving request to single DispatchAction, can be linked
with different methods available.)
MappingDispatchAction
LookupAction
SwitchAction
LocaleAction
189) ACID Operations
Atomicity:
The process of combining invisible & individual operations into a single unit.
Consistency:
It is a process where the rules applied on DB may be violated during Tx
but no rule is violated at the end of a Tx.
Ex: Account tablebalance field no negative bal
Isolation:
The process of applying locks on a DB table at various levels to avoid data corruption
when multiple users are allowed concurrently/simultaneously.
Durability:
The process of bringing the DB s/w original state using the log & back up files
when it was crashed/corrupted.

</property>
Constructor Injection:
It is a process of assigning/injecting the dependent values to the Bean properties
by the spring container using parameterized Constructors.
