FIRST TERM EXAMINATION [SEPT, 2015] FIFTH SEMESTER [B.TECH] JAVA PROGRAMMING. [ETCS-307] Time. 1.5 Hours M.M. : 30 Note: QNo.1 is compulsory. Attempt any two from the remaining three quations, Q.1. (@) What is method overriding in java? @) Ans. Method Overriding in Java: If subclass (child class) has the same method as declared in the parent class, it is known as method overriding in java. In other words, if subclass provides the specific ‘implementation of the method that has been provided by one of its parent class, i is known as method overriding. Usage of java method overriding: * Method overriding is used to provide specific implementation of a method that is already provided by its super class. * Method overriding is used for runtime polymorphism. Example: One of the simplest example ~ Here Boy class extends Human class. Both the classes have a common method void eat(). Boy class is giving its own implementation to the eat() method or in other words it is overriding the method eat(). class Human{ public void eat() { System.out.printin(“Human is eating”); ) } class Boy extends Human{ public void eat(){ System.out.printin(“Boy is eating”); } public static void main( String args[]) { Boy obj = new Boy(); obj.eat(); ) } Output: Boy is eating 2 Q.1. (b) Difference between abstract class and interface? Ans. Abstract Classes Interfaces . Abstract class can extend only one | Interface can extend any number of class or one abstract class at a time | interfaces at a time : Abstract class can extend froma | Interface can extend nly from an interface class or Interface can have only abstract methods82-2017 Fifth Semester, Java Programming bos.close(); ) ) ) Q.8.(b) Remote Method Invocation Ans.

To serialize an object means to convert its state to a byte stream so that the byte stream can be reverted back into a copy of the object. A Java object is serializable if its class or any of its superclasses implements either’ the java.ioSerializable interface or its subinterface, java.io.Externalizable. Deserialization is the process of converting the serialized form of an object back into a copy of the object. For example, the java.awt.Button class implements the Serializable interface, so you can serialize a java.awt.Button object and store that serialized state in a file. Later, you can read back the serialized state and deserialize into a java.awt.Button object ‘The Java platform specifies a default way by which serializable objects are serialized. A (Java) class can override this default serialization and define its own way of serializing objects of that class. The Object Serialization Specification describes object serialization in detail. When an objectis serialized, information that identifies its class is revorded in the serialized stream. However, the class's definition (“class file”) itself is not recorded. It > is the responsibility of the system that is deserializing the object to determine how tol locate and load the necessary class files Binding a Serializable Object: You can store a serializable object in the director)’ ifthe underlying service provider supports that action, as does Oracle's LDAP service; provider. ‘The following example invokes Context.bind to bind an AWT button to the name “cn=Button”. To associate attributes with the new binding, you use DirContext.bind. Tb overwrite an existing binding, use Context.rebind and DirContext.rebind. // Create the object to be bound Button b = new Button(“Push me”); // Perform the bind ctx.bind(“cn=Button”, b); You can then read the object back using Context.lookup, // Check that it is bound Button b2 = (Button)ctx.lookup(“en=Button”); System.out.println(b2); / Running this example produces the following output. ~ # javaSerObj : java.awt Button[button0,0,0,0x0,invalid,label=Push me] as follows.
