protocols used to access the resources over the network. It is used to connect wide area
network.

SM 6
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
• WWW contains huge amount of documents, images and other resources which can be
accessed using the hyperlinks. Thus the internet can be used through the web.

15. What is meant by Domain Name Service? (U)

Domain Name System (or Service or Server), is an Internet service that translates domain
names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember.
The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name,
therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For
example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4.

16. State the function of DNS. (R) (NOV / DEC 2012)

Domain Name Service (DNS) is the service used to convert human readable names of hosts
to IP addresses. The main function of DNS is name resolution. Name resolution is the process
of mapping a domain name to an IP address.

17. Define URI. (R) (APRIL / MAY 2011)

The Uniform Resource Identifier(URI) is a string used to identify the resources on the
internet. The URI is a combination of URL and URN.
Syntax:
Scheme: //authority/path?query

18. What is URL? Give its syntax. (U)

URL means Uniform Resource Locator. It is used to identify the resource with its location.
The resource can be a file, directory, HTML page, image, program, and so on. The URL
consists a number of pieces like protocol, hostname, path, query string, etc.
The syntax of URL is
Protocol: //username@hostname:port/path/filename#fragment?query
Example: http://www.example.org:5678/a/b/c.txt?t=win&s=chess#para5

19. What is meant by absolute URLs? (U)

An absolute URL contains all the information necessary to locate a resource. An absolute
URL uses the following format:
scheme://server/path/resource
scheme – Specifies how the resource is to be accessed.
server - Specifies the name of the computer where the resource is located.
path - Specifies the sequence of directories leading to the target. If resource is omitted, the
target is the last directory in path.
resource - If included, resource is the target, and is typically the name of a file. It may
be a simple file, containing a single binary stream of bytes, or a structured document,
containing one or more storages and binary streams of bytes.

20. What do you mean by Relative URLs? (May / June 2014)(U)

SM 7
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE

A relative URL locates a resource using an absolute URL as a starting point. In effect, the
"complete URL" of the target is specified by concatenating the absolute and relative URLs. A
relative URL typically consists only of the path, and optionally, the resource, but no scheme or
server i.e. Relative URLs are a way to identify a resource relative to their context.
Example:
Relative URL Absolute URL
d/e.html http://www.example.org/a/b/d/e.html

21. What do you mean by HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)? (U)

HTTP is an asymmetric request-response client-server protocol. An HTTP client sends a request
message to an HTTP server. The server, in turn, returns a response message. HTTP is a stateless
protocol. In other words, the current request does not know what has been done in the previous
requests.

22. What do you mean by HTTP Message? (U)

HTTP messages are how data is exchanged between a server and a client. There are two types
of messages: requests sent by the client to trigger an action on the server, and responses, the
answer from the server. HTTP messages are composed of textual information encoded inASCII,
and span over multiple lines. An HTTP message consists of a message header and an optional
message body, separated by a blank line, as illustrated below:

23. Write the format of HTTP Request Message. (R)

The format of an HTTP request message is as follow:

Request Line
The first line of the header is called the request line, followed by optional request headers.
The request line has the following syntax:
request-method-name request-URI HTTP-version
▪ request-method-name: HTTP protocol defines a set of request methods, e.g., GET, POST,
HEAD,and OPTIONS. The client can use one of these methods to send a request to the
server.
▪ request-URI: specifies the resource requested.

SM 8
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
▪ HTTP-version: Two versions are currently in use: HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1.
Request Headers
The request headers are in the form of name:value pairs. Multiple values, separated by commas, can
be specified.
request-header-name: request-header-value1, request-header-value2, ...

24. Write the format of HTTP Response Message. (R)

The format of the HTTP response message is as follows:

Status Line
The first line is called the status line, followed by optional response header(s).
The status line has the following syntax:
HTTP-version status-code reason-phrase
▪ HTTP-version: The HTTP version used in this session. Either HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1.
▪ status-code: a 3-digit number generated by the server to reflect the outcome of the request.
▪ reason-phrase: gives a short explanation to the status code.
▪ Common status code and reason phrase are "200 OK", "404 Not Found", "403 Forbidden",
"500 Internal Server Error".

SM 9

Response Headers
The response headers are in the form name:value pairs:
response-header-name: response-header-value1, response-header-value2, ...

25. What is HTML?(U)

HTML is a markup language for describing web documents (web pages).
• HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
• A markup language is a set of markup tags
• HTML documents are described by HTML tags
• Each HTML tag describes different document content

26. What is HTML5?(U)

HTML5 is a next version of HTML that provides new features which will make HTML much
easier. These new introducing features make your website layout clearer to both website
designers and users. There are some elements like <header>, <footer>, <nav> and
<article> that define the layout of a website.

27. Mention some advantages of using HTML5.(AN)

a. It is enriched with advance features which makes it easy and interactive for
designer/developer and users.
b. It allows the user to play a video and audio file.
c. It allows us to draw on a canvas.
d. It facilitates to design better forms and build web applications that work offline.
e. It provides advance features for that we would normally have to write JavaScript to do.

28. List some of the newly added tags of HTML5.(R)

Tag Description
<audio> It is used to play audio file in HTML.
<canvas> It is used to draw canvas.
<data> It provides machine readable version of its data.
<dialog> It defines a window or a dialog box.
<figcaption> It is used to define a caption for a <figure> element.
<figure> It defines a self-contained content like photos, diagrams etc.
<footer> It defines a footer for a section.
<header> It defines a header for a section.
<main> It defines the main content of a document.
<mark> It specifies the marked or highlighted content.
<menuitem> It defines a command that the user can invoke from a popup menu.

SM 10
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
<nav> It is used to define the navigation link in the document.
<progress> It specifies the progress of the task.
<section> It defines a section in the document.
<summary> It specifies a visible heading for <detailed> element.
<time> It is used to define a date/time.
<video> It is used to play video file in HTML.
<wbr> It defines a possible line break.

29. List the types of Lists in HTML. (R)

▪ Unordered: A bullet list
▪ Ordered: A numbered list

30. What are Semantic Elements in HTML5? (U)

A semantic element clearly describes its meaning to both the browser and the developer.
Examples of non-semantic elements: <div> and <span> - Tells nothing about its content.
Examples of semantic elements: <form>, <table>, and <article> - Clearly defines its content.

31. How will you add image in HTML 5? (A)

The <img> tag defines an image in an HTML page.
The <img> tag has two required attributes: src and alt.
The following attributes: align, border, hspace, and vspace are not supported in HTML5.
<img src="smiley.gif" alt="Smiley face" height="42" width="42">

32. How will you create lists in HTML 5? (A)

1. Designate the beginning of the list with <ul> or <ol>.
The <ul> tag indicates an unordered (bullet) list, and the <ol> tag describes an ordered
(numbered) list.
2. Surround each item in the list with an <li></li> pair.
Example:
<ol>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
</ol>

33. What is the use of Drag and drop property in HTML5? (U)
Drag and Drop (DnD) is powerful User Interface concept which makes it easy to copy, reorder
and deletion of items with the help of mouse clicks. This allows the user to click and hold the
mouse button down over an element, drag it to another location, and release the mouse button
to drop the element there.

34. How to insert Audio & Video in HTML5? (A)

The HTML5 <audio> and <video> tags make it simple to add media to a website. Its need to
set src attribute to identify the media source and include a controls attribute so the user can play
and pause the media.
Embedding Video
Most commonly used video formats are −
• Ogg − Ogg files with Thedora video codec and Vorbis audio codec.
• mpeg4 − MPEG4 files with H.264 video codec and AAC audio codec.
<source> tag is used to specify media along with media type and many other attributes. A video
element allows multiple source elements and browser will use the first recognized format.

<video width = "300" height = "200" controls autoplay>

<source src = "/html5/foo.ogg" type ="video/ogg" />
<source src = "/html5/foo.mp4" type = "video/mp4" />
Your browser does not support the <video> element.
</video>
Embedding Audio
Most commonly used audio formats are ogg, mp3 and wav.
We can use <source&ggt; tag to specify media along with media type and many other attributes. An
audio element allows multiple source elements and browser will use the first recognized
format.
<audio controls autoplay>
<source src = "/html5/audio.ogg" type = "audio/ogg" />
<source src = "/html5/audio.wav" type = "audio/wav" />
Your browser does not support the <audio> element.
</audio>

38. Define Cascading Style sheet? (R) (MAY/JUNE 2013)

The Cascading Style Sheet is a markup language used in the web document for presentation
purpose. The primary intension of CSS is to separate out the web content from the presentation.
This separation of structure from presentation simplifies maintaining and modifying a
document‟s layout.

39. Mention the need for Cascading Style Sheets. (U) (APRIL/ MAY 2011)
Give some advantages of using CSS. (NOV/DEC 2013)

(1) CSS allows the separation between the information contained in a document and its
presentation.
(2) Any change in the presentation can be made without disturbing the information of the
document.
(3) CSS allows developers to give the consistent appearance to all elements of the web page.

40. Give the syntax of a CSS rule. (R) (NOV/DEC 2011, MAY/JUNE 2012)
A CSS style sheet consists of one or more style rules called rulesets.

 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
41. What is Selector Strings? Explain its types.(U)
The selector string indicates the elements to which the rule should apply, and each
declaration within the declaration block specifies a value for one style property of those
elements.

➢ Single element selector strings

▪ It contains a single selector string eg.
▪ h1 {text-align:center}
➢ Multiple selector strings
▪ h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {text-align:center}
▪ Where h1to h6 gives same output.
➢ Universal selector
▪ *{font-weight:bold}
▪ Universal selector applies to whole document by default
➢ Specific elements by id
▪ #id1,#id2 {font-style: italic}
▪ This can be used as follows in html program
▪ <h1 id="id1"> About Panimalar </h1>
▪ <h2 id="id2"> Welcome </h2>
➢ Specific element by class selector
▪ /* class Selector */
▪ .class1 {font-variant: Big-caps}

This can be used as follows in html program

48. What are the advantages of CSS3 over CSS2? (AN)

1. CSS3 is divided into many different documents called Modules. Every module adds new
capability or extends features defined in CSS2 over preserving backward compatibility. Work
on CSS3 started around the time of publication of the original CSS2 recommendation.
2. Because of the modularization in CSS3, every modules has different stability and is in
different status.

52. List out some of the shadow effects added in CSS3. (R)
CSS is used to add shadow to text and to elements. It has following properties:
• text-shadow
• box-shadow
CSS Text Shadow
The CSS text-shadow property applies shadow to text.
In its simplest use, only specify the horizontal shadow (2px) and the vertical shadow (2px). To
add more than one shadow to the text, you can add a comma-separated list of shadows.

CSS Box Shadow

The box-shadow property attaches one or more shadows to an element.

53. List out some of the border images added in CSS3. (R)
CSS Border image property is used to add image border to some elements. A sample syntax of
boarder image is as follows –
#borderimg {
border: 10px solid transparent;
padding: 15px;
}
The most commonly used values are shown below –
border-image-source - Used to set the image path
border-image-slice - Used to slice the boarder image
border-image-width - Used to set the boarder image width
border-image-repeat - Used to set the boarder image as rounded, repeated and stretched

54. What is meant by transitions in CSS? (U)

The CSS transitions are effects that are added to change the element gradually from one style to
another, without using flash or JavaScript.
specify two things to create CSS transition.
o The CSS property on which you want to add an effect.
o The time duration of the effect.

SM 19

It is used to add transition effect for more than one CSS property. If you want to add transition
effect on more than one property, separate those properties with a comma.

55. How to create CSS Animation? (C)

CSS Animation property is used to create animation on the webpage. It can be used as a
replacement of animation created by Flash and JavaScript. An animation makes an element change
gradually from one style to another. he animation could be bound to the selector by specifying at
least these two properties:
o The name of the animation
o The duration of the animation
CSS animation properties
@keyframes - It is used to specify the animation.
Animation - This is a shorthand property, used for setting all the properties, except the
animation-play-state and the animation-fill- mode property.
animation-delay - It specifies when the animation will start.
animation-direction - It specifies if or not the animation should play in reserve on alternate
cycle.
animation-duration - It specifies the time duration taken by the animation to complete one
cycle.
animation-fill-mode- it specifies the static style of the element. (when the animation is not
playing)
animation-iteration-count - It specifies the number of times the animation should be
played.
animation-play-state - It specifies if the animation is running or paused.
animation-name - It specifies the name of @keyframes animation.
animation-timing-function - It specifies the speed curve of the animation.

56. Define Transformation in CSS. List out its types. (R)

CSS3 supports transform property. This transform property facilitates you to translate, rotate,
scale, and skews elements. Transformation is an effect that is used to change shape, size and
position. There are two types of transforms:
CSS 2D Transforms
The CSS 2D transforms are used to re-change the structure of the element as translate,
rotate, scale and skew etc.
CSS 3D Transforms
The CSS 3D transforms facilitates you to move an element to X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis.
Following is a list of 3D transforms methods:

57. Define rich internet application.(NOV/DEC 2016) (R)

capability on the client side, and the data manipulation and operation on the application server
side.

58. Give an example for inline style sheet. (R) (NOV/DEC 2018)
An inline style may be used to apply a unique style for a single element. To use inline styles,
add the style attribute to the relevant element. The style attribute can contain any CSS property.
Example
Inline styles are defined within the "style" attribute of the relevant element:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1 style="color:blue;text-align:center;">This is a heading</h1>

<p style="color:red;">This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

59. Write about CSS Inheritance. (R)

The property value is inherited from the nearest ancestor element that has a value for the

initial value that is used
Property values:
Specified
o Absolute
o Relative
Computed
Actual

60. What is Web 2.0 and give its example? (R) (APRIL/MAY 2021)
A Web 2.0 website allows users to interact and collaborate with each other through social media
dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community. This contrasts the first
generation of Web 1.0-era websites where people were limited to viewing content in a passive
manner.

Examples of Web 2.0 features include social networking sites or social media sites (e.g.,
Facebook), blogs, wikis, folksonomies ("tagging" keywords on websites and links), video sharing
sites (e.g., YouTube), image sharing sites (e.g., Flickr), hosted services, Web applications
("apps"), collaborative consumption platforms, and mashup applications.

1. What is JavaScript? (U)

JavaScript is a client-side scripting language which is to develop dynamic and interactive web
pages. It facilitates a programmer to design programs that enhance the functionality and
appearance of web pages.It is not an Object Oriented Language but it is an object based
language.

2. What is the purpose of Java Script? (U)

Two purpose of JavaScript:
➢ It Introduces client-side scripting, which makes web pages more dynamic and interactive.
➢ It provides the programming foundation for more complex server side scripting.

8. What is Regular Expression in Java Script? How do you define RE? ( U)

(APRIL/MAY 2022)
A regular expression is a certain way of representing a set of strings. Regular expressions
are frequently used to test that a string entered in an HTML form has a certain format or, in the
terminology of regular expressions, belongs to the set of string that have the correct format.
Syntax: /pattern/modifiers;
Example: var regexp=/^[0-9]+$/;

9. Give the syntax to handle exceptions in JavaScript. (R)

}[ finally {
// Code that is always executed regardless of
// an exception occurring
}]
//-->
</script>

10. Define event programming. (R) (NOV / DEC 2015)

Event-driven programming is a programming paradigm in which the flow of the program is
determined by events such as user actions (mouse clicks, key presses), or messages from other
programs/threads.

11. What is meant by intrinsic event handling? (U) (MAY / JUNE 2012)
Intrinsic event handling is a mechanism to attach specific scripts to your documents that
are executed only when something happens to an element.
• event - an action performed by the user, browser, or script
• event handler - JavaScript statements that execute when the event occurs
• An event is an occurrence of something potentially interesting to a script:
– Ex: mouseover and mouseout events

12. List some Intrinsic Event Attributes. (R) (APRIL/MAY 2011, NOV/DEC 2013)
Attribute When Called
Onload The body of the document has just been fully read and parsed by the browser
(this attribute pertains only do body and frameset)
Onunload The browser is ready to load a new document in place of the current document
(this attribute only pertains to body and frameset)
Onclick The mouse button has been clicked and released over the element
ondblclick The mouse button has been double clicked and released over the element
onmousedown The mouse has been clicked over the element
onmouseup The mouse has been released over the element
onmouseover The mouse has just moved over the element
onmousemove The mouse has moved from one location to another over the element
onmouseout The element has just moved away from the element.
Onfocus The element has just to receive the keyboard focus (attribute pertains only to
certain element including a label.input, select, text area and button)
Onblur The element has just lost the keyboard focus (attribute pertain only to the same

SM 25

element as on focus
onkeypress This element has the focus and a key has been present and released
onkeydown This element has the focus and a key has been pressed and released
Onkeyup This element has the focus and a key has been released.
Onsubmit This element is ready to be submitted (applies only to form elements)
Onreset This element is ready to be reset (applies only to form elements)
onselelect Text in this element has been selected (highlighted) in preparation for editing
(applies only to input and text area element)
Onchange The value of this element has changed (applies only to input, text area and select
elements)

13. What do you mean by DOM Tree? Give an example. (U)

The documents in DOM are represented using tree like structure in which every element is
represented as a node. Such tree is called as DOM tree.
Exmaple:

Fig. HTML DOM Node Tree

23. What is JSON? Whether it is platform dependent? (U) (APRIL/MAY 2022)

A common use of JSON is to read data from a web server, and display the data in a web
page.
o JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation.
o JSON is lightweight data-interchange format.
o JSON is easy to read and write than XML.
o JSON is language independent.
o JSON supports array, object, string, number and values.

24. What are the features of JSON? (U)

1. Simplicity
2. Openness
3. Self-Describing
4. Internationalization
5. Extensibility

6. Interoperability

25. What is the syntax of JSON? (U)

JSON syntax is basically considered as a subset of JavaScript syntax; it includes the following:
• Data is represented in name/value pairs.
• Curly braces hold objects and each name is followed by ':'(colon), the name/value pairs are
separated by , (comma).
• Square brackets hold arrays and values are separated by ,(comma).

26. List out the JSON Data types. (R)

In JSON, values must be one of the following data types:
• a string
• a number
• an object (JSON object)
• an array
• a boolean
• null

27. JSON Function Files

A common use of JSON is to read data from a web server, and display the data in a web page.
1: Create an array of objects.
2: Create a JavaScript function to display the array.
3: Use an array literal as the argument (instead of the array variable):
4: Put the function in an external js file

28. What is the DOM used for? (U) (APRIL/MAY 2021)

The Document Object Model (DOM) is a programming interface for HTML and XML
documents. It represents the page so that programs can change the document structure, style,
and content. The DOM represents the document as nodes and objects. That way, programming
languages can connect to the page.

29. What do you mean by exception handling? (U) (APRIL/MAY 2021)

The Exception Handling in Java is one of the powerful mechanism to handle the runtime
errors so that normal flow of the application can be maintained. Exception Handling is a
mechanism to handle runtime errors such as ClassNotFoundException, IOException,
SQLException, RemoteException, etc.

Java Server Pages-JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL)-Creating HTML forms by embedding JSP code.

PART - A
1. What is a Servlet? (R)
Servlet is a server side programming language which is used for generating dynamic web pages.
It generates web-page as a response of the request received from client (browser).

2. List out the Advantages of Servlet. (R)

The advantages of Servlet are as follows:
i. Better performance: because it creates a thread for each request, not process.
ii. Portability: because it uses Java language.
iii. Robust: JVM manages Servlets, so we don't need to worry about the memory leak,
garbage collection, etc.
iv. Secure: because it uses java language.

3. What is Static webpage and Dynamic webpage? (R)

The webpages which are same for all the users are static webpages and the webpages that are
dynamically generated based on the user‟s request (that may be different for each user depending
on the request) are known as dynamic webpages. Servlet is mainly used for dynamicwebpages.

4. What is a web application? (R)

A web application is an application accessible from the web. A web application is composed of
web components like Servlet, JSP, Filter, etc. and other elements such as HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript. The web components typically execute in Web Server and respond to the HTTP
request.

5. What is a web application? (R)

Following the stages of servlet life cycle:
o Loading of Servlet class: The servlet container finds the servlet class mentioned in
web.xml file and loads it.
o Servlet instantiation: The object of servlet class gets created in this phase.
o Initialization: Servlet initialization by calling init() method.
o Servicing the request: In this phase the servlet service the client request by calling the
service() method.

SM 29
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
o Destroy: Last phase of servlet life cycle. The destroy() method free up the servlet
instance so that it can be garbage collected.

6. Why Servlet is better than CGI? (U)

1) Servlet responses faster than CGI because it uses the multithreading concept to service
each request. CGI performance is not that good as it creates a new object for each request
while servlet allots a new thread for each request.
2) Learning and implementing servlet is quite easier compared to CGI.
3) Memory consumption is low in servlet compared to CGI.

7. What are Servlets? List its life cycle methods. (U)

(MAY / JUNE 2012, MAY / JUNE 2013) (APRIL/MAY 2021)
Servlets are Java programs which run inside a Servlet Container. A Servlet Container is much
like a Web Server which handles user requests and generates responses. Servlets extend the
server‟s functionality by allowing it to generate dynamic content.
Life cycle methods of a Servlet:
i. Init() – It performs servlet initialization tasks. This method is called when the
servlet is loaded in the memory for the first time.
ii. Service() – is a method actually called when an HTTP request is received; this
method, in turn, calls doGet(). Normally, you should not override service().
iii. Destroy() – method will be called when the server is in the process of taking a
servlet out of service, usually when the server itself is shutting down.

8. Differentiate Client-Side Scripting and Sever-side Scripting. (AN)

S.No Server-Side Scripting Client-Side Scripting
1 It is used to create dynamic pages based It is used when the browser already
on browser request has all the code & the page is altered
on the basis of user input
2 Web server executes the server side Web browser executes the client side
scripting scripting
3 It is used to connect to the databases on It cannot be used to connect to the
the web server databases on the web server
4 Responses from server side scripts are Response from client side scripts are
slower because the scripts are processed faster because the scripts are
on remote computer processed on local computer
5 Examples: Servlets, JSP, PHP, ASP, Examples: JavaScript, VBScript
Ruby, Perl, Python

9. Difference between GenericServlet and HTTPServlet. (AN)

✓ GenericServlet is an abstract class which implements Servlet interface while HTTPServlet
abstract class extends the GenericServlet class. In short: GenericServlet class is a parent
class for HTTPServlet.
✓ GenericServlet does not support any protocol. HTTPSeervlet support HTTP and HTTPS
Protocol.
✓ GenericServlet cannot handle cookies and session while HTTPServlet can handle
them.GenericServlet class

10. What are the common HTTP request methods used for request-response between
browser and server? (U)
Method Description
GET Requests data from a specified resource
POST Submits data to be processed to a specified resource
HEAD Same as GET but returns only HTTP headers and no document body
PUT Uploads a representation of the specified URI
DELETE Deletes the specified resource
OPTIONS Returns the HTTP methods that the server supports
CONNECT Converts the request connection to a transparent TCP/IP tunnel

11. Differentiate GET and POST method. (AN)

S.NO GET POST
1 Query String is part of URL Query String is sent as body of the HTTP
request
2 Length of the query string may be limited Length of the query string is unlimited
3 Recommended when parameter data is not Recommended if parameter data is intended
stored but used only to request information. to cause the server to update stored data.
Eg: Search Engine Query Eg: Online transaction Query
4 The URL can be bookmarked or emailed and Most browser will warn you if they are about
the same data will be passed to the server to resubmit POST data to avoid duplicate
when the URL is revisited update
5 Eg: Eg:
<form name=”form1” method=”GET”> <form name=”form1” method=”POST”>
6 Servlet Method: Servlet Method:
doGet(HttpServletRequest req, doPost(HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res){ } HttpServletResponse res){ }

12. What is ServletConfig? (R)
ServletConfig interface belongs to the package javax.servlet.ServletConfig. It is used for passing
the configuration parameters to the servlet. Servlet container instantiate it implicitly.

13. What is ServletContext?(R)

Each web application has a common ServletContext. All the servlets in the web application can
access the ServletContext. It has the web-application information & resources which are common
and accessible to all the servlets present in the web application.

14. What is meant by a Session? (U)

A collection of HTTP requests to the server, all associated with a single session ID is known
as a Session. i.e Session means to time duration of the conversation held between the client and
the server. Session provides a way to identify a user across more than one page request or visit
to a Web site and to store information about that user. The session persists for a specified time
period, across more than one connection or page request from the user.

15. What is meant by Session Tracking or Session Handling? (U) (APRIL/MAY 2021, 2022)
Session Tracking is the capability of a server to maintain the current state of a single client‟s
sequential requests. Using session tracking, we can keep track of previous session (conversations)
held between server and the browser by using session ID.

16. What is Session ID? (U)

Session ID is an unique identification number assigned by the server to each new HTTP
request for identifying them in subsequent conversations. It is used for sending all state
information to and fro between the browser and server.

17. What are the different techniques used for handling sessions? (R)
✓ Cookies
✓ Hidden Form Field
✓ URL Rewriting
✓ HttpSession

18. What are cookies? Give its uses. (U) (NOV/DEC 2015)
A Cookie is a name-value pair of information that a web server sends to a client machine as
a part of an HTTP response. The bowser then returns the cookie unchanged to the server to
indicate the state of the conversation.

19. What is Servlet chaining? (R)

Servlet chaining is a concept where the request is processed in a chain of servlets. First Servlet
processes the request partially and passes to the second one, then second servlet process it and
passes to third one and so on. The last servlet returns the response to the client(browser).

 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE

13. How Servlet maintains session using cookies?(U)

Cookie is a small piece of information, which is sent by a servlet to the Web browser. Cookies
gets stored in the browser and returned back to the server when needed. A cookie hasa name, a
single value, and few other attributes.

14. What are Cookies?(R)

A cookie is a small text file that is stored in the client's machine, which will be send to the
server on each request. You can put your session data inside the cookie. The biggest problem
in using cookie is clients may disable the cookie.

15. How to create a cookie using servlet?(U)

Setting cookies with servlet involves three steps:
(1) Creating a Cookie object:
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("key","value");
(2) Setting the maximum age:
cookie.setMaxAge(60*60*24);
(3) Sending the Cookie into the HTTP response headers:
response.addCookie(cookie);

16. What is URL rewriting?(R)

In URL rewriting, a token(parameter) is added at the end of the URL. The token consist of
name/value pair seperated by an equal(=) sign.

17. What is JDBC? (U)

Java Database Connectivity(JDBC) is an Application Programming Interface(API)used
to connect Java application with Database. JDBC is used to interact with various type of Database
such as Oracle, MS Access, My SQL and SQL Server. JDBC can also be defined as the platform-
independent interface between a relational database and Java programming. It allows java
program to execute SQL statement and retrieve result from database.

18. What is the use of JDBC? (U)

Before JDBC, ODBC API was the database API to connect and execute query with the
database. But, ODBC API uses ODBC driver which is written in C language (i.e. platform
dependent and unsecured). That is why Java has defined its own API (JDBC API) that uses JDBC
drivers (written in Java language).

19. Define JDBC Driver and List its type.(R)

JDBC Driver is a software component that enables java application to interact with the
database. JDBC Driver is required to process SQL requests and generate result. The following
are the different types of driver available in JDBC.
• Type-1 Driver or JDBC-ODBC bridge
• Type-2 Driver or Native API Partly Java Driver
• Type-3 Driver or Network Protocol Driver (fully Java Driver)
• Type-4 Driver or Thin Driver (fully Java Driver)

20. List out the steps to connect a Java application with DB.(R)
There are 5 steps to connect any java application with the database in java using JDBC.
They are as follows:
1. Register the driver class
2. Creating connection
3. Creating statement
4. Executing queries
5. Closing connection

21. What is JSP? (U) (MAY/JUNE 2013)

Java Server Pages (JSP) is a technology for developing web pages that support dynamic
content which helps developers insert java code in HTML pages by making use of special JSP
tags.

 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
1. Extension to Servlet: JSP technology is the extension to servlet technology. We can use all
the features of servlet in JSP
2. Dynamic contents can be handled using JSP because JSP allows scripting and element based
programming.
3. JSP is useful for server side programming.
4. JSP programming is easy to learn and easy to implement.
5. JSP programming environment provides the separation between presentation logic and
business logic.
6. JSP provides optional mechanism in configuring web application file (web.xml).
7. JSP allows creating and using our own custom tag libraries. Hence any application specific
Requirements can be satisfied using custom tag libraries. This helps the developer to develop
any kind of application.
8. Fast Development: No need to recompile and redeploy If JSP page is modified, we don't need
to recompile and redeploy the project.

33. Explain the servlet interface and its methods. (U) (NOV/DEC 2016)
Servlet interface provides common behaviour to all the servlets.Servlet interface needs to be
implemented for creating any servlet (either directly or indirectly). It provides 3 life cycle
methods that are used to initialize the servlet, to service the requests, and to destroy the servlet
and 2 non-life cycle methods.
Methods of Servlet interface
There are 5 methods in Servlet interface. The init, service and destroy are the life cycle methods
of servlet. These are invoked by the web container.

UNIT IV - PHP and XML

An introduction to PHP: PHP- Using PHP- Variables- Program control- Built-in functions- Form
Validation- Regular Expressions – File handling – Cookies – Connecting to Database. XML: Basic
XML- Document Type Definition- XML Schema DOM and Presenting XML, XML Parsers and
Validation, XSL and XSLT Transformation, News Feed (RSS and ATOM).

PART - A

1. What is PHP? (NOV/DEC 2016) (U)

Hypertext Preprocessor is an acronym for PHP. PHP is an open-source server
scripting language, and a powerful tool for creating dynamic and interactive Web pages. PHP is a
widely-used, free, and efficient alternative to competitors such as Microsoft's ASP.

2. What is a PHP file? (U)

• PHP files can contain text, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP code
• PHP code are executed on the server, and the result is returned to the browser as plain
HTML
• PHP files have extension ".php"

3. List out the features of PHP. (R)

• PHP can generate dynamic page content
• PHP can create, open, read, write, delete, and close files on the server
• PHP can collect form data
• PHP can send and receive cookies
• PHP can add, delete, modify data in your database
• PHP can be used to control user-access
• PHP can encrypt data
• With PHP we are not limited to output HTML. we can output images, PDF files, and even
Flash movies. we can also output any text, such as XHTML and XML.

4. What are advantages of PHP? (AN)

• Used for creating dynamic and interactive web pages
• PHP runs on various platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, etc.)
• PHP is compatible with almost all servers used today (Apache, IIS, etc.)
• PHP supports a wide range of databases
• PHP is free. Download it from the official PHP resource
• PHP is easy to learn and runs efficiently on the server side

5. Write the syntax for writing PHP scripts. (R)
A PHP script can be placed anywhere in the document.
A PHP script starts with <?php and ends with ?>:
<?php
// PHP code goes here
?>
The default file extension for PHP files is ".php".
A PHP file normally contains HTML tags, and some PHP scripting code.

6. Write the PHP script to print “Hello” message on the screen. (C)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My first PHP page</h1>

<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>

</body>
</html>

7. How will you create variables in PHP? (AN)

Variables are "containers" for storing information.
In PHP, a variable starts with the $ sign, followed by the name of the variable:
Example:
<?php
$txt = "Hello world!";
$x = 5;
$y = 10.5;
?>

8. List the rules for creating variables in PHP.(R)

A variable can have a short name (like x and y) or a more descriptive name (age, carname,
total_volume).
Rules for PHP variables:
• A variable starts with the $ sign, followed by the name of the variable
• A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character
• A variable name cannot start with a number
• A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _
)
• Variable names are case-sensitive ($age and $AGE are two different variables)

 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
9. What is meant by variable scope?(U)
The lifetime of a variable during the program execution is called the scope of a variable and
it is the part of the script where the variable can be referenced/used.
PHP has three different variable scopes:
• Local - A variable declared within a function has a LOCAL SCOPE and can only be
accessed within that function
• global - A variable declared outside a function has a GLOBAL SCOPE and can only be
accessed outside a function
• static – A variable declared inside the function with the keyword “static” and it helps to
preserve the variable even after the function execution has completed.

10. List the various data types supported in PHP.(R)

PHP variables are loosely typed – they can contain different types of data at different times.
The various data types supported in PHP are:
Type Description
int, integer Whole numbers (i.e., numbers without a decimal point)
float, double, real Real numbers (i.e., numbers containing a decimal point)
String Test enclosed in either single(„ „) or double (“ “) quotes.
bool, boolean True or false
Array Group of elements
Object Group of associated data and methods
Resource An external resource – usually information form database
NULL No Value

11. Name some built-in functions in PHP. (NOV / DEC 2015)(R)

✓ Array Functions
✓ Class/Object Functions
✓ Character Functions
✓ Date & Time Functions
✓ Error Handling Functions
✓ MySQL Functions
✓ ODBC Functions
✓ String Functions
✓ XML Parsing Functions

12. How will create user-defined function in PHP? (AN)

A function is a block of statements that can be used repeatedly in a program.
A function will not execute immediately when a page loads.
A function will be executed by a call to the function.
Creating User Defined Function in PHP
A user defined function declaration starts with the word "function":

SM 42
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
Syntax
function functionName()
{
code to be executed;
}

13. What is form validation PHP? (U) (APRIL/MAY 2021, 2022)

Form validation is a “technical process where a web-form checks if the information provided by
a user is correct.” The form will either alert the user that they messed up and need to fix
something to proceed, or the form will be validated and the user will be able to continue with
their registration process.

There are two types of validation are available in PHP. They are as follows –
 Client-Side Validation − Validation is performed on the client machine web browsers.
 Server Side Validation − After submitted by data, The data has sent to a server and perform
validation checks in server machine.
Some of Validation rules for field:
Field Validation Rules
Name Should require letters and white-spaces
Email Should require @ and .
Website Should require a valid URL
Radio Must be selectable at least once
Check Box Must be checkable at least once
Drop Down menu Must be selectable at least once

14. Write a PHP program to add two numbers.(C)

<html>
<head>
<title>Writing PHP Function to add Two Numbers</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php
function addFunction($num1, $num2)
{
$sum = $num1 + $num2;
echo "Sum of the two numbers is : $sum";
}
addFunction(10, 20);
?>
</body>
</html>
SM 43
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE

Output:
Sum of the two numbers is : 30

15. Write the steps to connect a PHP program with a database.(R)

i. Open a connection to MySQL itself - mysql_connect()
ii. Specify the database we want to open - mysql_select_db()
iii. Close the connection - mysql_close()

16. How to set cookies in PHP? (AN)

PHP provided setcookie() function to set a cookie. This function requires upto six
arguments and should be called before <html> tag. For each cookie this function has to be called
separately.
Syntax: setcookie(name, value, expire, path, domain, security);
Example:

<?php
setcookie("name", "John Watkin", time()+3600, "/","", 0);
setcookie("age", "36", time()+3600, "/", "", 0);
?>

17. What is meant by Regular Expression? (U)

Regular expressions are nothing more than a sequence or pattern of characters itself. They
provide the foundation for pattern-matching functionality.
Using regular expression we can search a particular string inside another string, we can
replace one string by another string and you can split a string into many chunks.

18. What are the two sets of regular expressions offered by PHP?(U)
PHP offers functions specific to two sets of regular expression functions:
• POSIX extended Regular Expressions
• PERL compatible Regular Expressions

19. List some POSIX regular expression functions.(R)

Function Description
The ereg() function searches a string specified by string for a string specified by
ereg()
pattern, returning true if the pattern is found, and false otherwise.
The ereg_replace() function searches for string specified by pattern and replaces
ereg_replace()
pattern with replacement if found.

SM 44
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE

The eregi() function searches throughout a string specified by pattern for a string
eregi()
specified by string. The search is not case sensitive.
The eregi_replace() function operates exactly like ereg_replace(), except that the
eregi_replace()
search for pattern in string is not case sensitive.
The split() function will divide a string into various elements, the boundaries of
split()
each element based on the occurrence of pattern in string.
The spliti() function operates exactly in the same manner as its sibling split(),
spliti()
except that it is not case sensitive.
The sql_regcase() function can be thought of as a utility function, converting each
sql_regcase() character in the input parameter string into a bracketed expression containing two
characters.

20. List some Perl compatible regular expression functions. (R)

Function Description
The preg_match() function searches string for pattern, returning true if pattern
preg_match()
exists, and false otherwise.
preg_match_all() The preg_match_all() function matches all occurrences of pattern in string.

The preg_replace() function operates just like ereg_replace(), except that regular
preg_replace()
expressions can be used in the pattern and replacement input parameters.

The preg_split() function operates exactly like split(), except that regular
preg_split()
expressions are accepted as input parameters for pattern.
The preg_grep() function searches all elements of input_array, returning all
preg_grep()
elements matching the regexp pattern.
preg_ quote() Quote regular expression characters

21. What is XML? (U)

XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. It is a text-based markup language for describing
the format for data exchanged between applications over the internet. XML permits document authors
to create new markup languages for describing any type of data.

22. List the important characteristics of XML.(R)

✓ XML is extensible: XML allows you to create your own self-descriptive tags, or language,
that suits your application.

SM 45
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
✓ XML carries the data, does not present it: XML allows you to store the data irrespective
of how it will be presented.
✓ XML is a public standard: XML was developed by an organization called the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C) and is available as an open standard.

23. Mention the uses (advantages) of XML.(AN)

✓ XML can work behind the scene to simplify the creation of HTML documents for large web
sites.
✓ XML can be used to exchange the information between organizations and systems.
✓ XML can be used for offloading and reloading of databases.
✓ XML can be used to store and arrange the data, which can customize your data handling
needs.
✓ XML can easily be merged with style sheets to create almost any desired output.
✓ Virtually, any type of data can be expressed as an XML document.

24. What are the XML Syntax Rules?(U)

1. The XML declaration is case sensitive and must begin with "<?xml>" where "xml" is
written in lower-case.
2. If document contains XML declaration, then it strictly needs to be the first statement of the
XML document.
3. ttribute names in XML (unlike HTML) are case sensitive. That is, HREF and href are
considered two different XML attributes.
4. Same attribute cannot have two values in a syntax. The following example shows incorrect
syntax because the attribute b is specified twice:
5. <a b="x" c="y" b="z"> ... </a>
6. Attribute names are defined without quotation marks, whereas attribute values must always
appear in quotation marks. Following example demonstrates incorrect xml syntax:
7. <a b=x> ... </a>
8. In the above syntax, the attribute value is not defined in quotation marks.
9. The names of XML-elements and XML-attributes are case-sensitive, which means the name
of start and end elements need to be written in the same case.
10. To avoid character encoding problems, all XML files should be saved as Unicode UTF-8 or
UTF-16 files.
11. Whitespace characters like blanks, tabs and line-breaks between XML-elements and
between the XML-attributes will be ignored.
12. Some characters are reserved by the XML syntax itself. Hence, they cannot be used directly.

25. What do you mean by XML declaration? Give an example. (MAY/JUNE 2013)(U)
The XML declaration is a processing instruction that identifies the document as being
XML. All XML documents should begin with an XML declaration.
For example,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>

26. What is meant by a XML namespace?(April / May 2011, 2014, Nov / Dec 2012,
2013,NOV/DEC 2016)(U)
An XML namespace is a collection of element and attribute names. XML namespaceprovide
a means for document authors to unambiguously refer to elements with the same name (i.e.,
prevent collisions).
Example:
<subject>Geometry</subject> // data for student from school
and
<subject>Cardiology</subject> // data for student from medicine

Both the markup uses the element “subject” to markup data. Namespace can differentiate these
two “subject” elements:

<highschool:subject>Geometry</highschool:subject>
and <medicalschool:subject>Cardiology</medicalschool:subject>

Both highschool and medicalschool are namespace prefixes.

27. How the namespace is declared?(R)

A Namespace is declared using reserved attributes. Such an attribute name must
either be xmlns or begin with xmlns: shown as below:
<element xmlns:name="URL">
Syntax:
• The Namespace starts with the keyword xmlns.
• The word name is the Namespace prefix.
• The URL is the Namespace identifier.

Example:
<root>

<highschool:subject xmlns:highschool="http://www.abcschool.edu/subjects">
Geometry
</highschool:subject>
<medicalschool:subject xmlns:medicalshool="http://www.rmc.org/subjects">
Cardiology
</medicalschool:subject>

</root>

28. What is meant by Document Type Definition?(U)
Rules that define the legal elements and attributes for XML documents are called
Document Type Definitions (DTD) or XML Schemas.
There are two different document type definitions that can be used with XML:
• DTD - The original Document Type Definition
• XML Schema - An XML-based alternative to DTD

29. What is the purpose of DTD?(U)

The purpose of a DTD is to define the structure of an XML document. It defines the
structure with a list of legal elements:

Example DTD :
<!DOCTYPE note
[
<!ELEMENT note (to,from,heading,body)>
<!ELEMENT to (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT from (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT heading (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT body (#PCDATA)>
]>

<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget to complete the work !</body>
< </note>

The DTD above is interpreted like this:

• !DOCTYPE note defines that the root element of the document is note
• !ELEMENT note defines that the note element must contain four elements: "to, from,
heading, body"
• !ELEMENT to defines the to element to be of type "#PCDATA"
• !ELEMENT from defines the from element to be of type "#PCDATA"
• !ELEMENT heading defines the heading element to be of type "#PCDATA"
• !ELEMENT body defines the body element to be of type "#PCDATA"

30. What is meant by Internal DTD?(U)

A DTD is referred to as an internal DTD if elements are declared within the XML files. To
refer it as internal DTD, standalone attribute in XML declaration must be set to yes. This means,
the declaration works independent of external source.

SM 48
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
Syntax
The syntax of internal DTD is as shown:

<!DOCTYPE root-element [element-declarations]>

where root-element is the name of root element and element-declarations is where you declare
the elements.

Example
Following is a simple example of internal DTD:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<!DOCTYPE address [
<!ELEMENT address (name,company,phone)>
<!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT company (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT phone (#PCDATA)>
]>
<address>
<name>Tanmay Patil</name>
<company>TutorialsPoint</company>
<phone>(011) 123-4567</phone>
</address>

31. Give an example for External DTD.(U)

In external DTD elements are declared outside the XML file. They are accessed by specifying
the system attributes. To refer it as external DTD, standalone attribute in the XML declaration must
be set as no. This means, declaration includes information from the external source.
Syntax:
Following is the syntax for external DTD:
<!DOCTYPE root-element SYSTEM "file-name">
where file-name is the file with .dtd extension.
Example:
The following example shows external DTD usage:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE address SYSTEM "address.dtd">
<address>
<name>Tanmay Patil</name>
<company>TutorialsPoint</company>
<phone>(011) 123-4567</phone>
</address>

SM 49
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
The content of the DTD file address.dtd are as shown:
<!ELEMENT address (name,company,phone)>
<!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT company (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT phone (#PCDATA)>

32. What is XML Schema?(U) (April/May 2021)

XML Schema is commonly known as XML Schema Definition (XSD). It is used to describe and
validate the structure and the content of XML data. XML schema defines the elements,attributes and
data types. Schema element supports Namespaces. It is similar to a database schema that describes
the data in a database.

33. Give the syntax to declare XML schema.(R)

Syntax:
The common syntax to declare a schema in our XML document as follows:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Example: The following example shows how to use schema:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="contact">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="company" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="phone" type="xs:int" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
The basic idea behind XML Schemas is that they describe the legitimate format that an XML
document can take.

34. What are the data types supported by XML Schema?(R)

Type Description Example
String A character string “hello”
Boolean True or False true
Decimal A decimal numeral 5, -12, -45.78
Float A floating-point number 0, 12, -109.75, NaN

SM 50

Double A floating-point number 0, 12, -109.75, NaN
Long A whole number 1234567890, -1234567890
Int A whole number 12345, -12345
Short A whole number 12, -345
Date A date consisting of year, month and day 2005-05-10
Time A time consisting of hours, minutes and seconds 16:30:25-05:00

35. What is meant by XML DOM?(U)

The W3C Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform and language-neutral Application
Programming Interface (API) that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update
the content, structure, and style of a HTML, XHTML & XML document.

36. Define DOM tree.(R)

In XML document the information is maintained in hierarchical structure, this hierarchical
structure is referred as Node Tree or DOM Tree.

The structure of the node tree begins with the root element and spreads out to the child elements till
the lowest level.
The nodes in the node tree have a hierarchical relationship to each other.The terms parent, child,
and sibling are used to describe the relationships. Parent nodes have children. Children on the same
level are called siblings (brothers or sisters).
• In a node tree, the top node is called the root
• Every node, except the root, has exactly one parent node
• A node can have any number of children
• A leaf is a node with no children
• Siblings are nodes with the same parent
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

37. What is meant by DOM Parser?(U)

An XML parser that creates the DOM tree structure is known as DOM parser.

38. What is an XML Parser? (U)

XML parser is a software library or a package that provides interface for client applications
to work with XML documents. It checks for proper format of the XML document and may also
validate the XML documents. Modern day browsers have built-in XML parsers.

Following diagram shows how XML parser interacts with XML document:

The goal of a parser is to transform XML into a readable code.

39. Explain the use of XML Parser. (U) (APRIL/MAY 2022)

✓ It checks for proper format of the XML document (Well Formed Document) and may also
validate the XML documents (Valid XML Document).
✓ XML parser validates the document and check that the document is well formatted.

40. What is meant by XML validation? (U)

XML validation is the process of checking a document written in XML (eXtensible
Markup Language) against its specified DTD to confirm that it is both well-formed and also

SM 52
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
"valid”. When a document fails to conform to a DTD or a schema, the validator displays an
error message.

41. What is meant by well-formed XML document?(U)

An XML document with correct syntax is "Well Formed". A well-formed XML document
must follow the following XML syntax rules:
• XML documents must have a root element
• XML elements must have a closing tag
• XML tags are case sensitive
• XML elements must be properly nested
• XML attribute values must be quote.
Example well-formed XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget to complete the work!</body>
</note>

42. What is meant by “Valid XML document”?(U)

An XML document that contains the proper elements with the proper attributes in the proper
sequence according to the DTD specification is called a “Valid” XML document. An XML document
cannot be valid unless it is well-formed.

43. What are the two types of XML parsers? And differentiate them.(U/AN)
Two types of XML Parsers:
1. Non-Validating XML Parsers
2. Validating XML Parsers

Non-Validating XML Parsers Validating XML Parsers

A non-validating parser checks if a document A Validating parser checks the syntax, builds
follows the XML syntax rules. It builds a tree the tree structure, and compares the structure of
structure from the tags used in XML document the XML document with the structure specified
and return an error only when there in the DTD associated with the
is a problem with the syntax of the document. document.
Non validating parsers process a document Validating parsers are slower because, in
faster because they do not have to check every addition to checking whether an XML
element against a DTD. In other words, these document is well formed; validating parsers
parsers check whether an XML document also check whether the XML document

adheres to the rules of well-formed document. adheres to the rules in the DTD used by the
XML document.
The Expat parser is an example of non- Microsoft MSXML parser is an example of a
validating parser. validating parser.

44. Define XSL.(R)

The Extensible Style sheet Language (XSL) is an XML vocabulary that decides how an
XML document data should look on the web browser. XSL is group of three technoliges:
1. XSL Transformations (XSLT): is technology for transforming the structure of the
XML document data into another structure.
2. XML Path Language (XPath): is a string-based language of expressions which
defines the syntax and semantics for efficiently locating elements and attributes in
XML documents.
3. XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO): It is a separate XML vocabulary for defining
document style properties of an XML document .(print-oriented)

45. Explain two types of XSL information.(U)

An XSL document normally contains two types of information:
✓ Template data - Which is text that is copied to the output XML text document with
little or no change? i.e. Everything in the body of the document that is not XSL markup
is template data And
✓ XSL markup - which controls the transformation process always start with “xsl:”.

46. Name any four XSL elements .Mentions its use.(R)

a. The <xsl:variable> XSL element creates a named variable.
b. The <xsl:value-of> XSL element processes a value.
c. The <xsl:if> XSL element invokes the enclosed code if the condition specified by
the test attribute is true.
d. The <xsl:sort> XSL element sorts a list of elements, such as within <xsl:for-each>.
e. The <xsl:template> XSL element encapsulates a segment of XSL code, similar to a
method, procedure, or function in other languages.
47. What is XSLT?(U)
XSLT stands for XSL Transformations. XSLT is a language for transforming XML
documents into XHTML documents or to other XML documents. XSLT uses XPath to navigate
in XML documents. With XSLT user can add/remove elements and attributes to or from the
output file.

48. What is XPath?(U)

XPath is a language used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document.
• XPath is a syntax for defining parts of an XML document
• XPath uses path expressions to navigate in XML documents
• XPath contains a library of standard functions
SM 54
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
• XPath is a major element in XSLT
• XPath is a W3C recommendation

49. How does XSLT works?(AN)

In the transformation process, XSLT uses XPath to define parts of the source
document that should match one or more predefined templates. When a match is found, XSLT
will transform the matching part of the source document into the result document.

50. What is meant by RSS?(U)

RSS (Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is an XML format for
delivering regularly changing web contents (i.e., Used to syndicate website contents). It is a mean
of transmitting and updating news in an automated way.

51. What is the use of RSS?(U)

RSS was designed to show selected data.
Without RSS, users will have to check your site daily for new updates. This may be too
time-consuming for many users.
With an RSS feed (RSS is often called a News feed or RSS feed) they can check your site
faster using an RSS aggregator (a site or program that gathers and sorts out RSS feeds).
Since RSS data is small and fast-loading, it can easily be used with services like cell phones
or PDA's.

52. Why is XSLT an important tool in development of web applications? (AN)

(MAY/JUNE 2016)
XSLT is the most important part of XSL.
XSLT is used to transform an XML document into another XML document, or another type
of document that is recognized by a browser, like HTML and XHTML. Normally XSLT does
this by transforming each XML element into an (X)HTML element.

SM 55
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
With XSLT you can add/remove elements and attributes to or from the output file. You can
also rearrange and sort elements, perform tests and make decisions about which elements to
hide and display, and a lot more.
A common way to describe the transformation process is to say that XSLT transforms an
XML source-tree into an XML result-tree.

53. When should the super global arrays in PHP be used? Which super global array in
PHP would contain a HTML form's POST data? (MAY/JUNE 2016)(AN)
PHP super global variable is used to access global variables from anywhere in the PHP
script.

54. List the important characteristics of PHP. (NOV/DEC 2018) (R)

o Familiarity
o Simplicity
o Efficiency
o Security
o Flexibility
o Open source
o Object Oriented

55. Explain DTD for XML Schemas. (U) (NOV/DEC 2018)

A DTD is a Document Type Definition. A DTD defines the structure and the legal elements
and attributes of an XML document. An XML Schema describes the structure of an XML
document. XML document has a reference to a DTD.

UNIT–V INTRODUCTION TO AJAX AND WEB SERVICES

AJAX: Ajax Client Server Architecture – XML HttpRequest Object – Call Back Methods; Web
Services: Introduction – Java web services basics – Creating, Publishing, Testing and Describing a
web services (WSDL) – Consuming a web service – Database driven web services from anapplication
– SOAP.

PART - A

1. What is AJAX?(U)
AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.
AJAX is a technique for creating fast and dynamic web pages.
AJAX allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging small amounts of data with
the server behind the scenes. This means that it is possible to update parts of a web page, without
reloading the whole page.

2. Draw the Ajax Client-Server architecture? (R)

SM 58
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE

3. Give some example applications that use AJAX. (R)

Examples of applications using AJAX:
Google Maps
Gmail
YouTube
Facebook tabs.

4. Define HTTP Request Object. (R) (APRIL/MAY 2022)

The XMLHttpRequest Object is the layer between the client and the server that creates and
manages asynchronous requests in Ajax applications. All modern browsers support the
XMLHttpRequest object (IE5 and IE6 use an ActiveXObject).

5. What is the use of XMLHttpRequest Object?(U)

The XMLHttpRequest object is used to exchange data with a server behind the
scenes. This means that it is possible to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole
page. All modern browsers support the XMLHttpRequest object (IE5 and IE6 use an
ActiveXObject).

6. Give the syntax to create XMLHttpRequest object.(R)

To handle all modern browsers, including IE5 and IE6, check if the browser supports the
XMLHttpRequest object. If it does, create an XMLHttpRequest object, if not, create an
ActiveXObject:
Example:
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}

7. Write the syntax to send a request to the server using XMLHttpRequest object.(R)
To send a request to a server, we use the open() and send() methods of the
XMLHttpRequest object:

xmlhttp.open("GET","ajax_info.txt",true);
xmlhttp.send();

SM 59
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE

Method Description
Specifies the type of request, the URL, and if the request should be
handled asynchronously or not.
open(method,url,async) method: the type of request: GET or POST
url: the location of the file on the server
async: true (asynchronous) or false (synchronous)
Sends the request off to the server.
send(string)
string: Only used for POST requests

8. How to get the response from the server?(R)

To get the response from a server, use the responseText or responseXML property
of the XMLHttpRequest object.

Property Description
responseText get the response data as a string
responseXML get the response data as XML data

9. Mention the three important properties of XMLHttpRequest object.(R)

Three important properties of the XMLHttpRequest object:
Property Description
Stores a function (or the name of a function) to be called automatically each
onreadystatechange
time the readyState property changes
Holds the status of the XMLHttpRequest. Changes from 0 to 4:
0: request not initialized
1: server connection established
readyState
2: request received
3: processing request
4: request finished and response is ready
200: "OK"
Status
404: Page not found

10. What is meant by callback function?(U)

A callback function is a function passed as a parameter to another function.
If you have more than one AJAX task on your website, you should create ONE standard
function for creating the XMLHttpRequest object, and call this for each AJAX task.
The function call should contain the URL and what to do on onreadystatechange (which is
probably different for each call):

SM 60
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
Example
function myFunction()
{
loadXMLDoc("ajax_info.txt",function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
});
}

11. List any four merits for usage of AJAX in web service. (NOV / DEC 2015,NOV/DEC
2016)(AN)
1. Reduce the traffic travels between the client and the server.
2. Response time is faster so increases performance and speed.
3. AJAX communicates over HTTP protocol.
4. Asynchronous calls to a web server allows client need not to wait for the arrival of all
data before start rendering.
5. If a section of a page encounters any error, other sections do not get affected and the data
entered by the user is also not lost.

12. What is meant by Web Services? Give any four examples. (U)
(NOV/DEC 2015, APRIL/MAY 2022)
A web service is a software component stored on one computer that can be accessed via
method calls by an application ( or other software component) on another computer over a
network. These software components are used by some software applications rather than by end-
users directly.
Example:
• Weather forecast system.
• Currency converters.
• Credit card validation system.
• Mashups

13. What are the Components of Web Services?(U)

The basic Web services platform is XML + HTTP. All the standard Web Services works
using following components
• SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
• UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration)
• WSDL (Web Services Description Language)

SM 61
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
14. List some examples of web services. (May / June 2012)(R)
(1) Weather forecast system
(2) Currency converter
(3) Electronic payment processing system
(4) Credit card validation system
(5) Resource management system

15. What is meant by WSDL? (May / June 2011, NOV/DEC 2016)(U)

WSDL (Web Services Description Language) is an XML-based language for describing
Web services and how to access them. Web Services Description Language is the standard format
for describing a web service in XML format.

16. Define WSDL Specification. List out its six major elements .(R)
WSDL is an XML grammar for describing web services. The specification itself
is divided into six major elements:
✓ definitions - The definitions element must be the root element of all WSDL documents.
✓ types -The types element describes all the data types used between the client and server.
✓ message -The message element describes a one-way message, whether it is a single message
request or a single message response.
✓ portType - It defines a web service, the operations that can be performed, and the
messages that are involved.
✓ binding - The binding element describes the concrete specifics of how the service will be
implemented on the wire.
✓ Service - The service element defines the address for invoking the specified service. Most
commonly, this includes a URL for invoking the SOAP service.

17. What is UDDI? (Nov / Dec 2011)(U)

UDDI stands for Universal Description, Discovery and Integration. It is an XML based
specification for registry of web services. It is platform-independent frame work.

18. What is meant by SOAP? Mention its use. (MAY/JUNE 2013)(U)

SOAP is a simple XML-based protocol to let applications exchange information over
HTTP, because HTTP is supported by all Internet browsers and servers.
SOAP provides a way to communicate between applications running on different operating
systems, with different technologies and programming languages.
Use :
- Communicating Object Data
- exchange information over HTTP

19. What are the SOAP Elements? Mention its use .(R)
a. An Envelope element that identifies the XML document as a SOAP message
b. A Header element that contains header information
SM 62
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
c. A Body element that contains call and response information
d. A Fault element containing errors and status information

20. Mention syntax rules for SOAP.

a. A SOAP message MUST be encoded using XML
b. A SOAP message MUST use the SOAP Envelope namespace
c. A SOAP message MUST use the SOAP Encoding namespace
d. A SOAP message must NOT contain a DTD reference
e. A SOAP message must NOT contain XML Processing Instructions
21. Draw the structure of a SOAP message. (C)

22. What is the role of a callback function in performing a partial page update in an AJAX
application ? (U)
The callback function uses partial page updates to display the data in the existing web page
without reloading the entire page. At the same time, the server may be responding to the second
request and the client-side may be starting to do another partial page update . The callback
function updates only a designated part of the page. Such partial page updates help make web
applications more responsive, making them feel more like desktop applications. The web
application does not load a new page while the user interacts with it.

23. Describe AJAX control Extender Toolkit.(U) (NOV/DEC 2018)

AJAX Control Toolkit is a set of extenders that are used to extend the functionalities of the
ASP.NET controls. The extenders use a block of JavaScript code to add new and enhanced
capabilities to the ASP.NET controls. AJAX Control Toolkit is a free download available on
the Microsoft site. You need to install this toolkit on your system before using extenders.

24. State the significance of a WSDL document.(R) (NOV/DEC 2018)

• WSDL is an XML-based protocol for information exchange in decentralized and
distributed environments.
• WSDL definitions describe how to access a web service and what operations it will
perform.
• WSDL is a language for describing how to interface with XML-based services.

SM 63
SEM-V
 CHHTRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPT OF CE
• WSDL is an integral part of Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI), an
XML-based worldwide business registry.
• WSDL is the language that UDDI uses.
• WSDL is pronounced as 'wiz-dull' and spelled out as 'W-S-D-L'.

25. Define WSDL documents. (April/May 2021)

A WSDL document uses the following elements in the definition of network services:
• Types– a container for data type definitions using some type system (such as XSD).
• Message– an abstract, typed definition of the data being communicated.
• Operation– an abstract description of an action supported by the service.
• Port Type–an abstract set of operations supported by one or more endpoints.
• Binding– a concrete protocol and data format specification for a particular port type.
• Port– a single endpoint defined as a combination of a binding and a network address.
• Service– a collection of related endpoints.
