Question: In the init(ServletConfig) method of Servlet life cycle, what

method can be used to access the ServletConfig object ?
 ANS: getServletConfig()
 
 Question: ejbCreate() method of CMP bean returns
 ANS: null
 
 Question: Which of the following is correct syntax for an Abstract class ?
 abstract double area();
 
 Question: A JSP page is opened in a particular Session. A button is present
in that JSP page onclick of which a new Window gets opened.
 ANS: The Session is valid in the new Window
 
 Question: A class can be converted to a thread by implementing the
interface___________
 ANS: Runnable
 
 Question: What is the output of following block of program ?
 boolean var = false;
 if(var = true) {
    System.out.println("TRUE");
 } else {
    System.out.println("FALSE");
 }ANS: TRUE
 EXPLANATION: The code compiles and runs fine and the 'if' test succeeds
because 'var' is set to 'true' (rather than tested for 'true') in the 'if' argument.
 
 Question: A Vector is declared as follows. What happens if the code tried
to add 6 th element to this Vector
 new vector(5,10)
 ANS: The element will be successfully added and The Vector allocates space to
accommodate up to 15 elements
 EXPLANATION: The 1 st argument in the constructor is the initial size of Vector
and the 2 nd argument in the constructor is the growth in size (for each allocation)
This Vector is created with 5 elements and when an extra element (6 th one) is
tried to be added, the vector grows in size by 10.
 
 Question: Which is the data structure used to store sorted map elements ?
 ANS: TreeMap
 
 Question: Which of the following is true ?
 (a) Stateless session beans doesn't preserve any state across method calls
 (b) Stateful session beans can be accesses by multiple users at the same time
 ANS: (a)
 
 Question: Stateful Session beans contain
 (a) Home Interface
 (b) Remote Interface
 (c) Bean Class
 (d) All
 ANS: (d)
 
 
Question: What is transient variable?
Answer: Transient variable can't be serialize. For example if a variable is declared
as transient in a Serializable class and the class is written to an ObjectStream, the
value of the variable can't be written to the stream instead when the class is
retrieved from the ObjectStream the value of the variable becomes null.

Question: Name the containers which uses Border Layout as their default layout?
Answer: Containers which uses Border Layout as their default are: window, Frame
and Dialog classes.
    

Question: What do you understand by Synchronization?

Answer: Synchronization is a process of controlling the access of shared resources
by the multiple threads in such a manner that only one thread can access one
resource at a time. In non synchronized multithreaded application, it is possible for
one thread to modify a shared object while another thread is in the process of
using or updating the object's value. Synchronization prevents such type of data
corruption.
E.g. Synchronizing a function:
public synchronized void Method1 () {
     // Appropriate method-related code. 
}
E.g. Synchronizing a block of code inside a function:
public myFunction (){
    synchronized (this) { 
            // Synchronized code here.
         }
}
  

Question: What is Collection API?

Answer: The Collection API is a set of classes and interfaces that support
operation on collections of objects. These classes and interfaces are more flexible,
more powerful, and more regular than the vectors, arrays, and hashtables if
effectively replaces. 
Example of
classes: HashSet, HashMap, ArrayList, LinkedList, TreeSet and TreeMap.
Example of interfaces: Collection, Set, List and Map.
  

Question: Is Iterator a Class or Interface? What is its use?

Answer: Iterator is an interface which is used to step through the elements of a
Collection. 
   

Question: What is similarities/difference between an Abstract class and Interface?

Answer:  Differences are as follows:

o Interfaces provide a form of multiple inheritance. A class can extend only

one other class.
o Interfaces are limited to public methods and constants with no
implementation. Abstract classes can have a partial implementation, protected
parts, static methods, etc.
o A Class may implement several interfaces. But in case of abstract class, a
class may extend only one abstract class.
o Interfaces are slow as it requires extra indirection to to find corresponding
method in in the actual class. Abstract classes are fast. 

Similarities:

o Neither Abstract classes or Interface can be instantiated.

  

Question: How to define an Abstract class?

Answer: A class containing abstract method is called Abstract class. An Abstract
class can't be instantiated. 
Example of Abstract class:
abstract class testAbstractClass { 
    protected String myString; 
    public String getMyString() { 
        return myString; 
        } 
    public abstract string anyAbstractFunction();
}
     

Question: How to define an Interface?

Answer: In Java Interface defines the methods but does not implement them.
Interface can include constants. A class that implements the interfaces is bound to
implement all the methods defined in Interface.
Emaple of Interface:

public interface sampleInterface {

    public void functionOne();

    public long CONSTANT_ONE = 1000; 

}
   

Question: Explain the user defined Exceptions?

Answer: User defined Exceptions are the separate Exception classes defined by
the user for specific purposed. An user defined can created by simply sub-classing
it to the Exception class. This allows custom exceptions to be generated (using
throw) and caught in the same way as normal exceptions. 
Example:
class myCustomException extends Exception {
     // The class simply has to exist to be an exception 
} 
  

Question: Explain the new Features of JDBC 2.0 Core API?

Answer: The JDBC 2.0 API includes the complete JDBC API, which includes both
core and Optional Package API, and provides inductrial-strength database
computing capabilities. 
New Features in JDBC 2.0 Core API:

o Scrollable result sets- using new methods in the ResultSet interface allows
programmatically move the to particular row or to a position relative to its
current position
o JDBC 2.0 Core API provides the Batch Updates functionality to the java
applications.
o Java applications can now use the ResultSet.updateXXX methods.
o New data types - interfaces mapping the SQL3 data types
o Custom  mapping of user-defined types (UTDs)
o Miscellaneous features, including performance hints, the use of character
streams, full precision for java.math.BigDecimal values, additional security, and
support for time zones in date, time, and timestamp values. 

    

Question: Explain garbage collection?

Answer: Garbage collection is one of the most important feature of Java. Garbage
collection is also called automatic memory management as JVM automatically
removes the unused variables/objects (value is null) from the memory. User
program cann't directly free the object from memory, instead it is the job of the
garbage collector to automatically free the objects that are no longer referenced by
a program. Every class inheritsfinalize() method from java.lang.Object, the
finalize() method is called by garbage collector when it determines no more
references to the object exists. In Java, it is good idea to explicitly assign null into
a variable when no more in use. I Java on
calling System.gc() and Runtime.gc(),  JVM tries to recycle the unused objects,
but there is no guarantee when all the objects will garbage collected. 
   

Question: How you can force the garbage collection?

Answer: Garbage collection automatic process and can't be forced.  
 

Question: What is OOPS?
Answer: OOP is the common abbreviation for Object-Oriented Programming.  
 

Question: Describe the principles of OOPS.

Answer: There are three main principals of oops which are called Polymorphism,
Inheritance and Encapsulation.  
 

Question: Explain the Encapsulation principle.

Answer: Encapsulation is a process of binding or wrapping the data and the codes
that operates on the data into a single entity. This keeps the data safe from outside
interface and misuse. One way to think about encapsulation is as a protective
wrapper that prevents code and data from being arbitrarily accessed by other code
defined outside the wrapper.  
 
Question: Explain the Inheritance principle.
Answer: Inheritance is the process by which one object acquires the properties of
another object.  
 

Question: Explain the Polymorphism principle.

Answer: The meaning of Polymorphism is something like one name many forms.
Polymorphism enables one entity to be used as as general category for different
types of actions. The specific action is determined by the exact nature of the
situation. The concept of polymorphism can be explained as "one interface, multiple
methods".  
 

Question: Explain the different forms of Polymorphism.

Answer: From a practical programming viewpoint, polymorphism exists in three
distinct forms in Java:

o Method overloading
o Method overriding through inheritance
o Method overriding through the Java interface

 
 

Question: What are Access Specifiers available in Java?

Answer: Access specifiers are keywords that determines the type of access to the
member of a class. These are:

o Public
o Protected
o Private
o Defaults

Question: Describe the wrapper classes in Java.

Answer: Wrapper class is wrapper around a primitive data type. An instance of a
wrapper class contains, or wraps, a primitive value of the corresponding type.

Following table lists the primitive types and the corresponding wrapper classes:

Primitive Wrapper
 boolean   java.lang.Boolean

byte   java.lang.Byte

char   java.lang.Character

double   java.lang.Double

float   java.lang.Float

int   java.lang.Integer

long   java.lang.Long

short   java.lang.Short

void   java.lang.Void
 
 

Question: Read the following program:

public class test {

public static void main(String [] args) {
    int x = 3;
    int y = 1;
   if (x = y)
     System.out.println("Not equal");
  else
    System.out.println("Equal");
 }
}

What is the result?

   A. The output is “Equal”
   B. The output in “Not Equal”
   C. An error at " if (x = y)" causes compilation to fall.
   D. The program executes but no output is show on console.
Answer: C

Question: what is the class variables ?

Answer: When we create a number of objects of the same class, then each object
will share a common copy of variables. That means that there is only one copy per
class, no matter how many objects are created from it. Class variables or static
variables are declared with the static keyword in a class, but mind it that it should
be declared outside outside a class. These variables are stored in static memory.
Class variables are mostly used for constants, variable that never change its initial
value. Static variables are always called by the class name. This variable is created
when the program starts i.e. it is created before the instance is created of class by
using new operator and gets destroyed when the programs stops. The scope of the
class variable is same a instance variable. The class variable can be defined
anywhere at class level with the keyword static. It initial value is same as instance
variable. When the class variable is defined as int then it's initial value is by default
zero, when declared boolean its default value is false and null for object references.
Class variables are associated with the class, rather than with any object. 

Question: What is the difference between the instanceof and getclass, these two
are same or not ?
Answer: instanceof is a operator, not a function while getClass is a method of
java.lang.Object class. Consider a condition where we use 
if(o.getClass().getName().equals("java.lang.Math")){ }
This method only checks if the classname we have passed is equal to
java.lang.Math. The class java.lang.Math is loaded by the bootstrap ClassLoader.
This class is an abstract class.This class loader is responsible for loading classes.
Every Class object contains a reference to the ClassLoader that defines. getClass()
method returns the runtime class of an object. It fetches the java instance of the
given fully qualified type name. The code we have written is not necessary,
because we should not compare getClass.getName(). The reason behind it is that if
the two different class loaders load the same class but for the JVM, it will consider
both classes as different classes so, we can't compare their names. It can only
gives the implementing class but can't compare a interface, but instanceof operator
can. 
The instanceof operator compares an object to a specified type. We can use it to
test if an object is an instance of a class, an instance of a subclass, or an instance
of a class that implements a particular interface. We should try to use instanceof
operator in place of getClass() method. Remember instanceof opeator and getClass
are not same. Try this example, it will help you to better understand the difference
between the two. 
Interface one{
}

Class Two implements one {

}
Class Three implements one {
}

public class Test {

public static void main(String args[]) {
one test1 = new Two();
one test2 = new Three();
System.out.println(test1 instanceof one); //true
System.out.println(test2 instanceof one); //true
System.out.println(Test.getClass().equals(test2.getClass())); //false
}
}
