transla on, compila on, ini aliza on, execu on, and destruc on. (CO3, BL-2)

handled in servlets using techniques like cookies, URL rewri ng, and H pSession objects. (CO3, BL-2)
(f) Remote Method Invoca on (RMI) allows communica on between Java programs distributed across
different Java Virtual Machines. (CO4, BL-4)

(f) JSP is more efficient than CGI because it allows embedding Java code directly into HTML, reducing the
need for external script files and improving performance. (CO4, BL-3)

(Long Answer Type Ques ons)

3. A empt all ques ons. Each ques on carries 8 marks.

(a) Java Beans offer advantages such as reusability, encapsula on, and easy integra on into development
environments. However, they can be complex to create and might introduce overhead. Java Beans find
applica ons in GUI development, where reusable components are needed. For example, a Java Bean can
represent a graphical bu on in a user interface. (CO4, BL-2)

(a) EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) is a server-side component model for developing distributed business
applica ons. Its architecture includes components like session beans, en ty beans, and message-driven
beans. EJBs find applica ons in large-scale enterprise systems, where scalability and transac on
management are crucial. (CO4, BL-2)

(b) The Connec on interface in JDBC represents a connec on to a database. It provides methods for
crea ng statements, commi ng transac ons, and managing the connec on. (CO4, BL-3)

(b) To develop a Java Bean in a JSP page, you can create a bean class with methods to set and get color
mappings for alphabet le ers. The JSP page can then use these methods to dynamically set the color of
le ers. (CO4, BL-3)

(c) JDBC (Java Database Connec vity) is an API for Java to interact with databases. Its responsibili es
include establishing connec ons, execu ng SQL statements, and handling results. (CO2, BL-4)

(c) The HTTP package in Java provides classes for handling HTTP requests and responses. The
H pServletRequest class represents an HTTP request, while the H pServletResponse class represents an
HTTP response. (CO2, BL-4)

3. (a) **Advantages and Disadvantages of Java Bean**:

- Advantages:

- Reusability: Java Beans are reusable components that can be easily integrated into various
applica ons.

- Encapsula on: Java Beans encapsulate data and behavior, promo ng modular and maintainable
code.

- Pla orm Independence: Java Beans can be used across different pla orms and environments due to
the Java language's pla orm independence.

- Disadvantages:

- Complexity: Developing Java Beans can some mes be complex, especially for beginners.

- Performance Overhead: Java Beans may introduce performance overhead due to their encapsula on
and run me behavior.

- **Applica ons of Java Bean**: Java Beans find applica ons in various domains such as:

- GUI development: Java Beans are extensively used to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in
applica ons.

- Enterprise applica ons: Java Beans are used to encapsulate business logic in enterprise applica ons,
making them easier to maintain and extend.

- Web development: Java Beans can be used in web development frameworks like JavaServer Faces
(JSF) to manage user interac ons and data.

3. (a) **EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) and Applica ons**:

- EJB is a server-side component architecture for building distributed enterprise applica ons in Java.

- **Applica ons of EJB**:

- Transac on Management: EJB provides built-in support for managing transac ons, ensuring data
integrity in enterprise applica ons.

- Security: EJB offers security features such as role-based access control (RBAC) and declara ve
security, enhancing applica on security.

- Scalability: EJB supports distributed compu ng, allowing applica ons to scale horizontally and
ver cally to handle increasing loads.

- **Architecture of EJB**:
 - EJB architecture consists of three main components: Session Beans, En ty Beans, and Message-
Driven Beans.

- Session Beans: Encapsulate business logic and represent client sessions. They can be stateful or
stateless.

- En ty Beans: Represent persistent data en es and interact with the database. They provide a
mapping between Java objects and database tables.

- Message-Driven Beans: Handle asynchronous messaging and communica on between distributed

4. (b) **Connec on Interface**:

- The Connec on interface in Java represents a connec on to a database in the JDBC (Java Database
Connec vity) API.

- **Responsibili es**:

- Establishing a connec on to the database using connec on URL, username, and password.

- Execu ng SQL statements and retrieving results from the database.

- Managing transac ons by commi ng or rolling back changes to the database.

4. (b) **Developing a Java Bean in a JSP Page**:

- Here's a basic outline for developing a Java Bean in a JSP page:

- Create a Java class represen ng the Java Bean, e.g., ColorfulAlphabetBean, with proper es and
methods to manage color mappings.

- In the JSP page, instan ate the Java Bean using the jsp:useBean tag and set its proper es.

- Use JSP scriptlet or expression tags to retrieve data from the Java Bean and display it dynamically on
the page.

- Handle user interac ons or events in the JSP page, triggering ac ons in the Java Bean if necessary.

5. (c) **JDBC (Java Database Connec vity)**:

- JDBC is a Java API for connec ng and execu ng SQL queries against databases.

- **Role and Responsibility**:

- Establishing a connec on to the database using DriverManager or DataSource.

- Crea ng and execu ng SQL statements (queries, updates, etc.) using Statement or
PreparedStatement.
 - Handling results returned from the database (e.g., ResultSet) and processing them accordingly.

- Managing transac ons by commi ng or rolling back changes to the database.

5. (c) **HTTP Package**:

- The HTTP package in Java provides classes for handling HTTP requests and responses in web
applica ons.

- **Role and Responsibility**:

- H pServletRequest: Represents an incoming HTTP request from a client, providing methods to

- H pServletResponse: Represents an outgoing HTTP response to be sent back to the client, providing
methods to set response headers, cookies, and content.

- HTTP request method: Represents the HTTP request method (e.g., GET, POST, etc.) used by the client
to communicate with the server.

- HTTP response status code: Represents the HTTP status code (e.g., 200 OK, 404 Not Found, etc.)
returned by the server to indicate the status of the request.
