J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Day - 27:

Interfaces:
1. Interfaces are basically used to develop user defined data types.
2. With respect to interfaces we can achieve the concept of multiple inheritances.
3. With interfaces we can achieve the concept of polymorphism, dynamic binding and hence we
can improve the performance of a JAVA program in turns of memory space and execution time.

An interface is a construct which contains the collection of purely undefined methods or an

interface is a collection of purely abstract methods.

Syntax for defining an interface:

Interface <interface name>
{
Variable declaration;
Method declaration;
}

Interface is a keyword which is used for developing user defined data types. Interface
name represent a JAVA valid variable name and it is treated as name of the interface. With respect
to interface we cannot create an object directly but we can create indirectly.
Variable declaration represents the type of data members which we use a part of
interface. Whatever the variables we use in the interface are meant for general purpose (the
variables like PI, e, etc.).

Whatever the variables we write in the interface, they are by default belongs to:
public static final xxx data members
xxx represents data type, variable name and variable value.

All variables must be initialized (otherwise it will be compilation error). Method declaration
represents the type of methods we use as a part of interface. All the methods of interface are
undefined methods and to make those methods as abstract, the JAVA programmer need not to
write a keyword abstract explicitly before the declaration of interface method.
Since all the methods of interface are meant for general purpose hence they must give
universal access. To make it as universal access the JAVA programmer need not to write a keyword
public explicitly before the method declaration. Hence, by default all the methods of interfaces
belong to public abstract methods.

For example:
Interface i1
{
Int a; //invalid since, initializing is mandatory
Int b=20;
Void f1 ();
Void f2 ();
}

Day - 28:

NOTE:
Whenever we compile an interface, we get <interface name>.class as an
intermediate file, if no errors are present in interface.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 51

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Syntax-1 for reusing the features of interface(s) to class:

[abstract] class <clsname> implements <intf 1>,<intf 2>.........<intf n>
{
variable declaration;
method definition or declaration;
};

In the above syntax clsname represents name of the class which is inheriting the features
from ‘n’ number of interfaces. ‘Implements’ is a keyword which is used to inherit the features of
interface(s) to a derived class.

NOTE:
When we inherit ‘n’ number of abstract methods from ‘n’ number of interfaces to the
derived class, if the derived class provides definition for all ‘n’ number of abstract methods then the
derived class is known as concrete class. If the derived class is not providing definition for at least
one abstract class and it must be made as abstract by using a keyword abstract.

i. One class can extend only one class.

ii. One class can implement ‘n’ number of interfaces.
iii. One interface can extends more than one interface.
iv. Interface cannot implements or extends a class. Since defined things cannot be made as
undefined things.

Syntax-2 inheriting ‘n’ number of interfaces to another interface:

interface <intf 0 name> extends <intf 1>,<intf 2>.........<intf n>
{
variable declaration cum initialization;
method declaration;
};

For example:
interface I1
{
int a=10;
void f1 ();
};
interface I2 extends I1
{
int b=20;
void f2 ();
};

If one interface is taking the features of another interface then that inheritance is known as
interface inheritance

Syntax-3:
[abstract] class <derived class name> extends <base class name>
implements <intf 1>,<intf 2>.........<intf n>
{
variable declaration;
method definition or declaration;
};

Whenever we use both extends and implements keywords as a part of JAVA program we
must always write extends keyword first and latter we must use implements keyword.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 52

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Important points:
i. An object of interface cannot be created directly since it contains ‘n’ number of abstract
methods. An object of interface can be created indirectly. An object of interface = an object of
that class which implements that interface.
ii. An object of base interface contains the details about those methods which are declared in that
interface only but it does not contain details about those methods which are specially available
in either in derived classes or in derived interfaces.
iii. Interfaces should not be final.
iv. An interface does not contain Constructors.

Day - 29:

PACKAGE

A package is a collection of classes, interfaces and sub-packages. A sub-package in turns

divides into classes, interfaces, sub-sub-packages, etc.
Learning about JAVA is nothing but learning about various packages. By default one
predefined package is imported for each and every JAVA program and whose name is java.lang.*.
Whenever we develop any java program, it may contain many number of user defined
classes and user defined interfaces. If we are not using any package name to place user defined
classes and interfaces, JVM will assume its own package called NONAME package.
In java we have two types of packages they are predefined or built-in or core packages and
user or secondary or custom defined packages.

PREDEFINED PACKAGES

Predefined packages are those which are developed by SUN micro systems and supplied as a
part of JDK (Java Development Kit) to simplify the task of java programmer.

NOTE:
Core packages of java starts with java. (For example: java.lang.*) and Advanced packages of
java starts with javax. (For example: java.sql.*)

TYPES of predefined packages:

As a part of J2SE we have nine predefined packages which are given in the following table:

Package name Package description

java.lang.* This package is used for achieving the language functionalities such as
convertion of data from string to fundamental data, displaying the result on to
the console, obtaining the garbage collector. This is the package which is by
default imported for each and every java program.

Day - 29:

java.io.* This package is used for developing file handling applications, such as, opening
the file in read or write mode, reading or writing the data, etc.
java.awt.* This package is used for developing GUI (Graphic Unit Interface) components
(abstract such as buttons, check boxes, scroll boxes, etc.
windowing toolkit)

By Mr. K.V.R Page 53

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

java.awt.event.* Event is the sub package of awt package. This package is used for providing
the functionality to GUI components, such as, when button is clicked or when
check box is checked, when scroll box is adjusted either vertically or
horizontally.
java.applet.* This package is used for developing browser oriented applications. In other
words this package is used for developing distributed programs.
An applet is a java program which runs in the context of www or browser.
java.net.* This package is used for developing client server applications.
java.util.* This package is used for developing quality or reliable applications in java or
J2EE. This package contains various classes and interfaces which improves the
performance of J2ME applications. This package is also known as collection
framework (collection framework is the standardized mechanism of grouping
of similar or different type of objects into single object. This single object is
known as collection object).
java.text.* This package is used for formatting date and time on day to day business
operations.
java.lang.reflect.* Reflect is the sub package of lang package. This package is basically used to
study runtime information about the class or interface. Runtime information
represents data members of the class or interface, Constructors of the class,
types of methods of the class or interface.
java.sql.* This package is used for retrieving the data from data base and performing
various operations on data base.

USER DEFINED PACKAGES

A user defined package is one which is developed by java programmers to simplify the task
of the java programmers to keep set of classes, interfaces and sub packages which are commonly
used. Any class or interface is commonly used by many java programmers that class or interface
must be placed in packages.

Syntax:
package pack1[.pack2[.pack3……[.packn]…..]];
Here, package is a keyword which is used for creating user defined packages, pack1 represents
upper package and pack2 to packn represents sub packages.

For example:
package p1;
statement-1
package p1.p2;
statement-2
The statements 1 and 2 are called package statements.

RULE:
Whenever we create user defined package statement as a part of java program, we must use
package statement as a first executable statement.

Day - 30:

NOTE:
Whenever we develop any JAVA program it contains ‘n’ number of classes and interfaces.
Each and every class and interface which are developed by the programmer must belong to a

By Mr. K.V.R Page 54

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

package (according to industry standards). If the programmer is not keeping the set of classes and
interfaces in a package, JVM will assume its own package called NONAME package.
NONAME package will exist only for a limited span of time until the program is completing.

STEPS for developing a PACKAGE:

i. Choose the appropriate package name, the package name must be a JAVA valid variable name
and we showed ensure the package statement must be first executable statement.
ii. Choose the appropriate class name or interface name and whose modifier must be public.
iii. The modifier of Constructors of a class must be public.
iv. The modifier of the methods of class name or interface name must be public.
v. At any point of time we should place either a class or an interface in a package and give the file
name as class name or interface name with extension .java

For example:
// Test.java
package tp;
public class Test
{
public Test ()
{
System.out.println ("TEST - DEFAULT CONSTRUCTOR");
}
public void show ()
{
System.out.println ("TEST - SHOW");
}
}
//ITest.java
package tp;
public interface ITest
{
void disp ();
}

Syntax for compiling a package:

javac –d . filename.java

For example:
javac –d . Test.java

Here, -d is an option or switch which gives an indication to JVM saying that go to Test.java
program take the package name and that package name is created as directory automatically
provides no errors are present in Test.java. When Test.java is not containing any errors we get Test.
class file and it will be copied automatically into current directory which is created recently i.e., tp
(package name). The above program cannot be executed since it doesn’t contain any main method.

Day -31:

How to use PACKAGE CLASSES and INTERFACES in another java program:

In order to refer package classes and interfaces in JAVA we have two approaches, they are
using import statement and using fully qualified name approach.

Using import statement:

Import is a keyword which is used to import either single class or interface or set of classes
and interfaces all at once.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 55

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Syntax -1:
Import pack1 [.pack2 [.………[.packn]]].*;

For example:
Import p1.*; ---1
Import p1.p2.*; ---2
Import p1.p2.p3.*; ---3

When statement 1 is executing we can import or we can access all the classes and
interfaces of package p1 only but not its sub packages p2 and p3 classes and interfaces.
When statement 2 is executing we can import as the classes and interfaces of package p2
only but not p1 and p3 classes and interfaces.
When statement 3 is executing we can import as the classes and interfaces of package p3
only but not p1 and p2 classes and interfaces.

Syntax-2:
Import pack1 [.pack2 [.…………[.packn]]].class name/interface name;

For example:
Import p1.c1; ---4
Import p1.p2.c3; ---5

When statement 4 is executing can import c1 class of package p1 only but not other classes
and interfaces of p1 package, p2 package and p3 package.

Write a JAVA program which illustrates the usage of package classes?

Answer:
Import approach:
import tp.Test;
class PackDemo
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
Test t1=new Test ();
t1.show ();
}
};

When we compile the above program we get the following error “package tp does not
exist”. To avoid the above error we must set the classpath as., SET CLASSPATH =
%CLASSPATH%;.;

This is the alternate technique for import statement:

p1.c2 o2=new p1.c2 ();
p1.p2.p3.c4 o4=new p1.p2.p3.c4 ();
p1.p2.i3 o3=new p1.p2.p3.c4 ();

Fully qualified approach:

class PackDemo
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
tp.Test t1=new tp.Test ();
t1.show ();
}
};

By Mr. K.V.R Page 56

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

NOTE:
1. Whenever we develop user defined packages, to use the classes and interfaces of user defined
packages in some other program, we must set classpath before there usage.
2. In order to set the classpath for predefined packages we must use the following statement:
D:\core\set classpath=C: \Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\lib\rt.jar;.; [rt.jar contains
all the .class files for the predefined classes which are supplied as a port of predefined packages by
the SUN micro systems.]

Day - 32:

When two classes or an interface belongs to the same package and if they want to refer
those classes or interfaces need not to be referred by its package name.

For example:
// I1.java
// javac -d . I1.java

package ip;
public interface I1
{
public void f1 ();
public void f2 ();
};

// C01.java
// javac -d . C01.java

package cp;
public abstract class C01 implements ip.I1
{
public void f1 ()
{
System.out.println ("F1 - C01");
}
};

// C02.java
// javac -d . C02.java

package cp;
public class C02 extends C01
{
public void f2 ()
{
System.out.println ("F2 - C02");
}
public void f1 ()
{
super. f1 ();
System.out.println ("F1 - C02 - OVER RIDDEN");
}
};

// PackDemo.java
// javac PackDemo.java

import ip.I1;
class PackDemo
{
public static void main (String [] args)

By Mr. K.V.R Page 57

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

{
System.out.println ("CP.C02");
cp.C02 o2=new cp.C02 ();
o2.f1 ();
o2.f2 ();
System.out.println ("CP.C01");
cp.C01 o1=new cp.C02 ();
o1.f1 ();
o1.f2 ();
I1 io;
io=o1; //new cp.C02 ();
io.f1 ();
io.f2 ();
}
};

In order to run the above program we must run with respect to package name.
1
javac –d
d . PackDemo1.java
2
java mp.PackDemo1 or java mp/PackDemo1

ACCESS SPECIFIERS in java

In order to use the data from one package to anoth

another
er package or within the package, we
have to use the concept of access specifiers. In JAVA we have four types of access specifiers. They
are private, default (not a keyword),
keyword) protected and public.
Access specifiers makes us to understand how to access the data within the package (class to
class, interface to interface and interfaces to class) and across the package (class to class, interface
to interface and interfaces to class). In other words access specifiers represent the visibility of data
or accessibility of data.
Syntax for declaring a variable along with access specifiers:
[Access specifiers] [Static] [Final] data type v1 [=val1], v2 [=val2] …vn [=valn];

For example:
Public static final int a=10;
Protected int d;
Int x; [If we are not using any access
ess specifier it is by default treated as default access specifier]
Private int e;

By Mr. K.V.R Page 58

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Private Default Protected Public

Same package base

class √ √ √ √
Same package
derived class × √ √ √
Same package
independent class × √ √ √

Other package
derived class × √ √
×
Other package
independent class × × × √

Day - 33:

NOTE:
1. Private access specifier is also known as native access specifier.
2. Default access specifier is also known as package access specifier.
3. Protected access specifier is also known as inherited access specifier.
4. Public access specifier is also known as universal access specifier.

Write a JAVA program which illustrates the concept of access rules?

Answer:
// Sbc.java
// javac -d . Sbc.java

package sp;
public class Sbc
{
private int N_PRI=10;
int N_DEF=20;
protected int N_PRO=30;
public int N_PUB=40;
public Sbc()
{
System.out.println ("VALUE OF N_PRIVATE = "+N_PRI);
System.out.println ("VALUE OF N_DEFAULT = "+N_DEF);
System.out.println ("VALUE OF N_PROTECTED = "+N_PRO);
System.out.println ("VALUE OF N_PUBLIC = "+N_PUB);
}
};

// Sdc.java
// javac -d . Sdc.java

package sp;
public class Sdc extends Sbc //(is-a relation & within only)
{
public Sdc()
{
// System.out.println ("VALUE OF N_PRIVATE = "+N_PRI);
System.out.println ("VALUE OF N_DEFAULT = "+N_DEF);
System.out.println ("VALUE OF N_PROTECTED = "+N_PRO);

}
};

// Sic.java

package sp;
public class Sic
{
Sbc so=new Sbc(); // (has-a relation & within only)
public Sic()
{
// System.out.println ("VALUE OF N_PRIVATE = "+so.N_PRI);
System.out.println ("VALUE OF N_DEFAULT = "+so.N_DEF);
System.out.println ("VALUE OF N_PROTECTED = "+so.N_PRO);

import sp.Sic;
class ASDemo
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
// import approach

System.out.println ("WITH RESPECT TO SAME PACKAGE BASE CLASS");

Sbc so1=new Sbc();

By Mr. K.V.R Page 60

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

System.out.println ("WITH RESPECT TO SAME PACKAGE DERIVED CLASS");

Sdc so2=new Sdc();
System.out.println ("WITH RESPECT TO SAME PACKAGE INDEPENDENT CLASS");
Sic so3=new Sic();

//fully qualified name approach

System.out.println ("WITH RESPECT TO OTHER PACKAGE DERIVED CLASS");

op.Odc oo1=new op.Odc();
System.out.println ("WITH RESPECT TO OTHER PACKAGE INDEPENDENT CLASS");
op.Oic oo2=new op.Oic();
}
};

Nameless object approach:

Sometimes there is no necessity for the JAVA programmer to create an object with some
name. In such situations we can use the concept of nameless object.
For example:
// named object approach
Test t1=new Test ();
t1.display ();

To convert the above statements into nameless object approach follow the following
statements.

For example:
// nameless object approach
new Test ().display ();

Day - 34:

EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING

Whenever we develop any project in real time it should work in all circumstances (mean in
any operation either in error or error free). Every technology or every programming language, if we
use for implementing real time applications and if the end user commits a mistake then by default
that language or technology displays system error messages which are nothing but run time errors.

• Run time errors in JAVA are known as exceptions.

• System error messages are those which are unable to understand by end user or client.
• User friendly messages are those which are understandable by end user or client.

Exceptional handling is a mechanism of converting system error messages into user friendly
messages.

Errors are of two types. They are compile time errors and run time errors.
• Compile time errors are those which are occurring because of poor understanding of the
language.
• Run time errors are those which are occurring in a program when the user inputs invalid data.

The run time errors must be always converted by the JAVA programmer into user friendly
messages by using the concept of exceptional handling.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 61

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

In JAVA run time environment, to perform any kind of operation or task or an action that will
be performed with respect to either class or an interface.
Whenever we pass invalid data as an input to tthe he JAVA program then JAVA run time
environment displays an error message, that error message is treated as a class.

Types of exceptions:
In JAVA we have two types of exceptions they are predefined exceptions and user or
custom defined exceptions.
1. Predefined
ned exceptions are those which are developed by SUN micro system and supplied as a
part of JDK to deal with universal problems. Some of the universal problems are dividing by zero
zero,
array, etc.
invalid format of the number, invalid bounce of the array

Day -35:

Predefined exceptions are divided into two types. They are asynchronous exceptions and
synchronous exceptions.
Asynchronous exceptions are those which are always deals with hardware problems. In order
to deal with asynchronous exceptions there is a predefined class called java.lang.Error. java.lang.Error
java.lang.Error class is the super class for all asynchronous exceptions.
Synchronous exceptions are one which always deals with programmatic errors. In order to
deal with synchronous exceptions we must use a pred predefined class called java.lang.Exception class.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 62

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

java.lang.Exception is the super class for all synchronous exceptions. Synchronous exceptions are
divided into two types. They are checked exceptions and unchecked exceptions.
i. A checked exception is one which always deals with compile time errors regarding class not
found and interface not found..
ii. Unchecked exceptions are those which are always deals with programmatic run time errors such
as ArithmeticException, NumberFormatException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExcept
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
ion, etc.

An exception is an object which occurs at run time which describes the nature of the message.
The nature of the message can be either system error message or user friendly message.

How an EXCEPTION OCCURS in a java RUN TIME ENVIRONMENT

1. Whenever
never we pass irrelevant input to a JAVA program, JVM cannot process the irrelevant input.
2. Since JVM is unable to process by user input, hence it can contact to JRE for getting an
appropriate exception class.
3. JRE contacts to java.lang.Throwable for finding what type of exception it is.
4. java.lang.Throwable decides what type of exception it is and pass the message to JRE.
5. JRE pass the type of exception to JAVA API.
6. [6.1 & 6.2] From the JAVA API either java.lang.Error class or java.lang.Exception class will fo
found
an appropriate sub class exception.
7. Either java.lang.Error class or java.lang.Exception class gives an appropriate exception class to
JRE.
8. JRE will give an appropriate exception class to JVM.
9. JVM will create an object of appropriate exception class whi which
ch is obtained from JRE and it
generates system error message.
10. In order to make the program very strong (robust), JAVA programmer must convert the system
error messages into user friendly messages by using the concept of exceptional handling.

User friendlyy messages are understand by normal user effectively hence our program is robust.

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Day - 36:

Syntax for exceptional handling:

In order to handle he exceptions
exceptions in JAVA we must use the following keywords. They are try,
catch, finally, throws and throw.

try
{
Block of statements which are to be monitored by JVM at run time (or
problematic errors);
}

catch (Type_of_exception1 object1)

{
Block of statements which provides user friendly messages;
}
catch (Type_of_exception2 object2)
{
Block of statements which provides user friendly messages;
}
.
.
.
catch (Type_of_exception3 object3)
{
Block of statements which provides user friendly messages;
}

finally
{
Block of statements which releases the resources;
}

Try block:
1. This is the block in which we write the block of statements which are to be monitored by JVM at
run time i.e., try block must contain those statements which causes problems at run time.
2. If anyy exception is taking place the control will be jumped automatically to appropriate catch
block.
3. If any exception is taking place in try block execution will be terminated and the rest of the
statements in try block will not be executed at all and the control
control will go to catch block.
4. For every try block we must have at least one catch block. It is highly recommended to write ‘n’
number of catch’s for ‘n’ number of problematic statements.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 64

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Catch block:
1. This is used for providing user friendly messages by catching system error messages.
2. In the catch we must declare an object of the appropriate execution class and it will be internally
referenced JVM whenever the appropriate situation taking place.
3. If we write ‘n’ number of catch’s as a part of JAVA program then only one catch will be executing
at any point.
4. After executing appropriate catch block even if we use return statement in the catch block the
control never goes to try block.

Finally block:
1. This is the block which is executing compulsory whether the exception is taking place or not.
2. This block contains same statements which releases the resources which are obtained in try
block (resources are opening files, opening databases, etc.).
3. Writing the finally block is optional.

For example:
class Ex1
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
try
{
String s1=args[0];
String s2=args[1];
int n1=Integer.parseInt (s1);
int n2=Integer.parseInt (s2);
int n3=n1/n2;
System.out.println ("DIVISION VALUE = "+n3);
}
catch (ArithmeticException Ae)
{
System.out.println ("DONT ENTER ZERO FOR DENOMINATOR...");
}
catch (NumberFormatException Nfe)
{
System.out.println ("PASS ONLY INTEGER VALUES...");
}
catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException Aioobe)
{
System.out.println ("PASS DATA FROM COMMAND PROMPT...");
}
finally
{
System.out.println ("I AM FROM FINALLY...");
}
}
};

Day - 37:

Throws block: This is the keyword which gives an indication to the calling function to keep the
called function under try and catch blocks.

Syntax:
<Return type> method name (number of parameters if any) throws type of
exception1,type of exception2,………type of exception;

By Mr. K.V.R Page 65

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Write a JAVA program which illustrates the concept of throws keyword?

Answer:
(CALLED FUNCTION)
package ep;
public class Ex2
{
public void div (String s1, String s2) throws ArithmeticException, NumberFormatException
{
int n1=Integer.parseInt (s1);
int n2=Integer.parseInt (s2);
int n3=n1/n2;
System.out.println ("DIVISOIN = "+n3);
}
};

(CALLING FUNCTION)
import ep.Ex2;
class Ex3
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
try
{
String s1=args [0];
String s2=args [1];
Ex2 eo=new Ex2 ();
eo.div (s1,s2);
}
catch (ArithmeticException Ae)
{
System.out.println ("DONT ENTER ZERO FOR DENOMINATOR");
}
catch (NumberFormatException Nfe)
{
System.out.println ("PASS INTEGER VALUES ONLY");
}
catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException Aioobe)
{
System.out.println ("PASS VALUES FROM COMMAND PROMPT");
}
}
};

Day - 38:

Number of ways to find details of the exception:

In JAVA there are three ways to find the details of the exception. They are using an object of
java.lang.Exception class, using public void printStackTrace method and using public string
getMessage method.

i. Using an object of java.lang.Exception: An object of Exception class prints the name of the
exception and nature of the message.
For example:
try
{
int x=Integer.parseInt ("10x");
}
catch (Exception e)
{

By Mr. K.V.R Page 66

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

System.out.println (e); // java.lang.NumberFormatException : for input string 10x

} name of the exception nature of the message

ii. Using printStackTrace method: This is the method which is defined in java.lang.Throwable class
and it is inherited into java.lang.Error class and java.lang.Exception class. This method will
display name of the exception, nature of the message and line number where the exception has
taken place.
For example:
try
{
......;
int x=10/0;
......;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace (); // java.lang.ArithmeticException : / by zero : at line no: 4
} name of the exception nature of the message line number

iii. Using getMessage method: This is also a method which is defined in java.lang.Throwable class
and it is inherited into both Error and Exception classes. This method will display only nature of
the message.
For example:
try
{
......;
int x=10/0;
......;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println (e.getMessage ()); // / by zero
} nature of the message

USER or CUSTOM DEFINED EXCEPTIONS

User defined exceptions are those which are developed by JAVA programmer as a part of
application development for dealing with specific problems such as negative salaries, negative ages,
etc.

Guide lines for developing user defined exceptions:

• Choose the appropriate package name.
• Choose the appropriate user defined class.
• Every user defined class which we have choose in step 2 must extends either java.lang.Exception
or java.lang.RunTimeException class.
• Every user defined sub-class Exception must contain a parameterized Constructor by taking
string as a parameter.
• Every user defined sub-class exception parameterized Constructor must called parameterized
Constructor of either java.lang.Exception or java.lang.RunTimeException class by using super
(string parameter always).

For example:
package na; // step1
public class Nage extends Exception // step2 & step3
{
public Nage (String s) // step4

By Mr. K.V.R Page 67

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

{
super (s);// step5
}
};

Day - 39:

Write a JAVA program which illustrates the concept of user defined exceptions?
Answer:
package na;
public class Nage extends Exception
{
public Nage (String s)
{
super (s);
}
};

package ap;
import na.Nage;
public class Age
{
public void decide (String s) throws NumberFormatException, Nage
{
int ag= Integer.parseInt (s);
if (ag<=0)
{
Nage na=new Nage ("U HAV ENTERED INVALID AGE..!");
throw (na);
}
else
{
System.out.println ("OK, U HAV ENTERED VALID AGE..!");
}
}
};

import na.Nage;
import ap.Age;
class CDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
String s1=args [0];
ap.Age Ao=new ap.Age ();
Ao.decide (s1);
}
catch (Nage na)
{
System.out.println (na);
}
catch (NumberFormatException nfe)
{
System.out.println ("PASS ONLY INTEGER VALUES..!");
}
catch (ArithmeticException ae)
{
System.out.println ("PASS INTEGER VALUES ONLY..!");
}
catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException aioobe)

By Mr. K.V.R Page 68

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

{
System.out.println ("PASS VALUES THROUGH COMMAND PROMPT..!");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println (e);
}
}
};

NOTE: Main method should not throw any exception since the main method is called by JVM and
JVM cannot provide user friendly message.

APPLET’s

In JAVA we write two types of programs or applications. They are standalone applications
and distributed applications.
• A standalone application is one which runs in the context of local disk and whose result is not
sharable. Every standalone application runs from command prompt and it contains main method
along with System.out.println statements.
• A distributed application is one which runs in the context of browser or World Wide Web and it
can be accessed across the globe. Any technology which runs in the browser will have ‘n’
number of life cycle methods and it does not contain main methods and System.out.println
statements.

In JAVA, SUN micro initially has developed a concept called applets which runs in the context of
browser. “An applet is a JAVA program which runs in the context of browser or World Wide Web”.
In order to deal with applets we must import a package called java.applet.*. This package
contains only one class Applet whose fully qualified name is java.applet.Applet.
Since applets are running in the browser, the class Applet contains the life cycle methods.
Life cycle methods are also called as loop back methods.

Day - 40:

In java.applet.Applet we have four life cycle methods. They are public void init (), public
void start (), public void stop () and public void destroy ().
1. Public void init (): This is the method which is called by the browser only one time after loading
the applet. In this method we write some block of statements which will perform one time
operations, such as, obtaining the resources like opening the files, obtaining the database
connection, initializing the parameters, etc.
2. Public void start (): After calling the init method, the next method which is from second request
to sub-sequent requests the start method only will be called i.e., short method will be called
each and every time. In this method we write the block of statement which provides business
logic.
3. Public void stop (): This id the method which is called by the browser when we minimize the
window. In this method we write the block of statements which will temporarily releases the
resources which are obtained in init method.
4. Public void destroy (): This is the method which will be called by the browser when we close the
window button or when we terminate the applet application. In this method we write same
block of statements which will releases the resources permanently which are obtained in init
method.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 69

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Another method which is not a life cycle method is public void paint (). This is the method which
will be called by the browser after completion of start method. This method is used for displaying
the data on to the browser. Paint method is internally calling the method called drawString whose
prototype is given below.

java.awt.Graphics
(Graphics => public void drawString (String, int row position, int column position))
An object of Graphics class will be created automatically after loading the applet into the
browser.

STEPS for developing APPLET PROGRAM:

1. Import java.applet.Applet package.
2. Choose the user defined class that must extends java.applet.Applet class and ensure the
modifier of the class must be public.
3. Overwrite the life cycle methods of the applet if require.
4. Save the program and compile.
5. Run the applet: To run the applet we have two ways. They are using HTML program and using
applet viewer tool.

Using HTML program: In order to run the applet through HTML program we must use the following
tag.
Syntax:
<applet code =”.class file of the applet” height = height value width = width
value>
</applet>

For example:
File name: MyApp.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> My applet example </TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<APPLET code="MyApp" height=100 width=150>
</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Using appletviewer:
Appletviewer is a tool supplied by SUN micro system to run the applet programs from the
command prompt (in the case of browser is not supporting).

Syntax: appletviewer filename.java

For example:
appletviewer MyApp.java

When we use appletviewer to run the above applet, MyApp.java program must contain the
following tag within the multi line comment.
/*<applet code= “MyApp” height=300 width=300> </applet>*/

Write an applet program which displays “AshaKrishna My Love”?

Answer:
/*<applet code= “MyApp” height=300 width=300> </applet>*/
import java.applet.Applet;
public class MyApp extends Applet

By Mr. K.V.R Page 70

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

{
public void paint(java.awt.Graphics g)
{
g.drawString ("AshaKrishna MyLove", 20, 15);
}
};

Day - 41:

NOTE: To set the font we must use a class called Font.

Syntax: Font f=new Font (“arial”, Font.BOLD, 40);

In the Graphics class we have the following method which will set the font.
java.awt.Graphics
public void setFont (Font fobj)
For example:
g.setFont (f);

Write a JAVA program which illustrates the life cycle methods of applet?
Answer:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
/*<applet code="MyApp1" height=300 width=300>
</applet>*/

public class MyApp1 extends Applet

{
String s=" ";
public void init ()
{
setBackground (Color.green);
setForeground (Color.red);
s=s+" INIT ";
}
public void start ()
{
s=s+" START ";
}
public void stop ()
{
s=s+" STOP ";
}
public void destroy ()
{
s=s+" DESTROY ";
}
public void paint (Graphics g)
{
Font f=new Font ("arial", Font.BOLD, 40);
g.setFont (f);
g.drawString (s,100,100);
}
};

awt (abstract windowing toolkit):

In JAVA we can develop to types of GUI (Graphic User Interface) applications. They are
standalone GUI applications and distributed GUI applications.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 71

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

• A standalone GUI application is one which runs in the context of local disk and our class must
extends a predefined class called java.lang.Frame class.
• A distributed GUI application is one wh
which
ich runs in the context of browser and our class must
extend java.applet.Applet class.

As a part of GUI applications we use to create two types of components. They are passive
components and active components
components.
• A passive component is one where there is no interaction from the user. For example label.
• An active component is one where there is an interaction from the user. For example button,
check box, scroll bar, etc.

The active and passive components in JAVA are available in terms of classes. In order to deal
with any GUI applications we must import a package called java.awt.* (contains various classes and
interfaces for creating GUI components) and java.awt.event.* (contains various classes and
interfaces which will provide functionality to GUI components
components).

Day - 42:

AWT hierarchy chart:

Whenever we develop any GUI application we must have readily available window
component and window component must contain frame component. Any GUI component which we
want to create gives the corresponding class and adds all those components to the object of
Container class.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 72

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

A Container is a class whose object allows us to add ‘n’ number of similar or different GUI
components to make a final application
application.
Except Object class and Applet class all the classes in the aabove
bove hierarchy chart are belongs
to java.awt.* package.

Write a JAVA program which creates Window and Frame?

Answer:
import java.awt.*;
class myf extends Frame
{
Myf ()
{
setText (“AshaKrishna”); ---1
setSize (100, 100); ---2
setBackground (Color,
(Colo cyan); ---3
setForeground (Color, red); ---4
setVisible (true); ---5
}
};

class FDemo
{
Public static void main (String [] args)
{
Myf mo=new myf ();
}
};

The methods in line numbers 1 and 2 defined in java.awt.Window class. The methods in line
numbers 3, 4 and 5 are defined in java.awt.Component class.

Label class:
Label is a class which is used for creating label as a part of windows application. The
component label comes under passive component. Labels always improve the functionali
functionality and
readability of active components. Creating a label is nothing but creating an object of label
components.

Label class API:

Data members:
public static final int LEFT (0) //by default the alignment is always left only

By Mr. K.V.R Page 73

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

public static final int CENTER (1)

public static final int RIGHT (2)
The above three statements are called alignment parameters or modifiers.

Constructors:
Label ()
Label (String)
Label (String label name, int alignment modifier)

Instance methods:
public void setText (String);
public String getText ();
public void setAlignment (int);
public int getAlignment ();

For example we can write a program as follows:

Label l=new Label ();
l=setText (“ENTER EMPNO”);
l=setAlignment (Label.CENTER)

or

Label l1=new Label (“ENTER EMPNAME”);

String Label=l1.getText ();
l1.setAlignment (Label.RIGHT);

or

Label l=new Label (“ENTER EMPSAL”, Label.CENTER);

Day - 43:

Event Delegation Model:

Whenever we want to develop any windows applications one must deal with event
delegation model. Event delegation model contains four properties. They are:
In order to process any active components, we must know either name or caption or label or
reference of the component (object).
Whenever we interact any active component, the corresponding active component will have
one predefined Event class, whose object will be created and that object contains two details:
1. Name of the component.
2. Reference of the component.

The general form of every Event class is xxx event.

For example:
Component name Event name
print java.awt.event.ActionEvent
choice java.awt.event.ItemEvent
textField java.awt.event.TextEvent
textArea java.awt.event.TextEvent
scrollbar java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent

In order to perform any action or operation when an interactive component is interacted we

must write some set of statements into the appropriate methods. These methods are not defined or

By Mr. K.V.R Page 74

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

developed by SUN micro system, but they have supplied those methods with no definition i.e.,
undefined methods.
In JAVA purely undefined methods are abstract methods present in interfaces. Interfaces in
awt are called listeners. Hence, every interactive component must have a predefined listener whose
general notation is xxx listener.

For example:
Component name Listener name
Button java.awt.event.ActionListener
Choice java.awt.event.ItemListener
TextField java.awt.event.TextListener
TextArea java.awt.event.TextListener
Scrollbar java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener

Identity what is the undefined method or abstract method in xxx Listener.

For example:
Component name Undefined method name
Button public void actionPerformed (java.awt.event.ActionEvent)
Choice public void actionPerformed (java.awt.event.ItemEvent)
TextField public void actionPerformed (java.awt.event.TextEvent)
TextArea public void actionPerformed (java.awt.event.TextEvent)

Each and every interactive component must be registered and unregistered with particular
event and Listener. The general form of registration and un-registration methods is as follows:
public void addxxxListener (xxxListener);
public void removexxxListener (xxxListener);

For example:

Component name Registration method Un-registration method

Button public void addActionListener public void removeActionListener
(ActionListener); (ActionListener);
Choice public void addItemListener public void removeItemListener
(ItemListener); (ItemListener);
TextField public void addTextListener public void removeTextListener
(TextListener); (TextListener);
TextArea public void addTextListener public void removeTextListener
(TextListener); (TextListener);

Day - 44:

BUTTON:
Button is an active component which is used to perform some operations such as saving the
details into the database, deleting the details from the database, etc.
Creating a button is nothing but creating an object of Button class.

Button API:
Constructors:
Button ();
Button (String);

Instance methods:
public void add ActionListener (ActionListener);
public void remove ActionListener (ActionListener);

By Mr. K.V.R Page 75

};

By Mr. K.V.R Page 76

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Output:
U HAVE CLICKED WEST
U HAVE CLICKED SOUTH
U HAVE CLICKED EAST/EXIT
U HAVE CLICKED NORTH

Steps for developing awt program:

1. Import the appropriate packages.
2. Choose the appropriate class and it must extend java.awt.Frame and implements appropriate
Listener if required.
3. Identify which components we want and declare them as data members in the class.
4. Set the title for the window.
5. Set the size of the window.
6. Create the components which are identified in step 3.
7. Add the created components to container.
8. Register the events of the appropriate interactive component with appropriate Listener.
9. Make the components to be visible.
10. Define the undefined methods in the current class which is coming from appropriate Listener.
This method provides functionality to GUI component.

if (ae.getSource ()==b3)
{
l.setLabel (b3.getLabel ());
}
if (ae.getSource ()==b4)
{
l.setLabel (b4.getLabel ());
}
}
};

Steps for developing a FRAME application or APPLET application:

1. Import appropriate packages for GUI components (java.awt.*) providing functionality to GUI
components (java.awt.event.*) and for applet development (java.applet.Applet).
2. Every user defined class must extend either Frame or Applet and it must implement appropriate
Listener if required.
3. Identify which components are required to develop a GUI application.
4. Use life cycle methods (init, start, destroy) in the case of applet, use default Constructor in the
case of Frame for creating the components, adding the components, registering the
components, etc.
5. Set the title of the window.
6. Set the size of the window.
7. Set the layout if required.
8. Create those components which are identified.
9. Add the created components to container.
10. Every interactive component must be registered with appropriate Listener.
11. Make the components to be visible in the case of Frame only.
12. Implement or define the abstract method which is coming from appropriate Listener.

RADIO BUTTONS:
In java.awt we are not having a special class for radio buttons but we can create radio
button from Checkbox class.
In java.awt we have a predefined class called CheckboxGroup through which we can add all
the checkboxes to the object of CheckboxGroup class.

Steps for converting checkboxes into radio button:

1. Create objects of CheckboxGroup class.
For example:
CheckboxGroup cbg1=new CheckboxGroup ();
CheckboxGroup cbg2=new CheckboxGroup ();
CheckboxGroup cbg3=new CheckboxGroup ();
CheckboxGroup cbg4=new CheckboxGroup ();
CheckboxGroup object allows to select a single checkbox among ‘n’ number of checkboxes.

2. Create ‘n’ number of objects of Checkbox class.

For example:
Checkbox b1, b2, b3, b4;
b1=new Checkbox (“C”);
b2=new Checkbox (“Cpp”);
b3=new Checkbox (“Java”);
b4=new Checkbox (“Oracle9i”);

3. Decide which checkboxes are adding to which CheckboxGroup object. In order to add the
checkboxes to the CheckboxGroup object, in Checkbox class we have the following method:
public void setCheckboxGroup (CheckboxGroup);
For example:
cb1.setCheckboxGroup (cbg1);
cb2.setCheckboxGroup (cbg2);
cb3.setCheckboxGroup (cbg3);
cb4.setCheckboxGroup (cbg4);

4. Register the events of checkbox with ItemListener by using the following method:
public void addItemListener (ItemListener);

NOTE: Instead of using a setCheckboxGroup method we can also used the following Constructor
which is present in Checkbox class.
Checkbox (String, CheckboxGroup, boolean);
Checkbox (String, boolean, CheckboxGroup);
For example:
Checkbox cb1=new Checkbox (“C”, cbg1, false);
Checkbox cb2=new Checkbox (“Cpp”, cbg2, false);
Checkbox cb3=new Checkbox (“Java”, cbg3, false);
Checkbox cb4=new Checkbox (“Oracle9i”, cbg4, false);

TEXTFIELD:
TextField is GUI interactive component which allows entering the data in single line.
Whatever the data, we enter to text field, by default that data will be treated as string.
If we are able to read the data of text field then that text field is known as editable or non-
echo or normal text field.
If we are unable to read the data of the text field then that text field is known as echo text
field and the character which is available is known as echo character.
Creating a text box is nothing but creating an object of TextField class.

TextField API:
Constructors:
TextField ();

Adapter class:
It is one which contains null body definition for those methods which are inheriting from
appropriate Listener.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 85

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

In java.awt.event.* we have Listener interface called WidowListener which contains seven

abstract methods. In the derived class implements WindowListener interface; it is mandatory for
derived class to define all the methods even though the derived class is not required. If the derived
class wants to define the required methods, it has to extend its corresponding adapter class called
java.awt.event.WindowAdapter and this class contains null body definition for WindowListener
interface methods.
Therefore which our Listener interface contains more than one undefined method for that
Listener interfaces we have the appropriate adapter class whose general notation is XXXAdapter.
For example:
Listener Adapter
WindowListener WindowAdapter
ActionListener WindowAdapter
MouseListener MouseAdapter
MouseMotionListener MouseMotionAdapter

TEXTAREA:
TextArea is the GUI interactive component in which we can enter multiple lines of
information such as addresses, remarks, achievements, etc.
Creating a TextArea is nothing but creating an object of TextArea class. Whenever we create
a TextArea component by default Scrollbars will be in invisible mode. Whenever number of rows are
exceeding automatically we get vertical scrollbar whereas when number of columns are exceeding
we get horizontal scrollbar.

TextArea API:
Data members:
public static final int SCROLLBARS_NONE;
public static final int SCROLLBARS_BOTH;
public static final int SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY;
public static final int SCROLLBARS_HORIZONTAL_ONLY;

Constructors:
TextArea ();

Mouse operation:
Mouse is the hardware component which always deals with user interactive with various
active components. On mouse we can perform two types of operations, they are basic operations
and advanced operations.
• To deal with basic operations of mouse we must take an interface called MouseListener. This
interface contains the following undefined methods:
public void mousePressed (MouseEvent);
public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent);
public void mouseExited (MouseEvent);
public void mouseReleased (MouseEvent);
public void mouseEntered (MouseEvent);
In order to perform the basic operations of the mouse we must have the following
registration method which are present in component class.
public void addMouseListener (MouseListener);
public void removeMouseListener (MouseListener);
• To perform advanced operations of mouse we must use a predefined interface called
MouseMotionListener and it contains the following methods:
public void mouseDragged (MouseEvent);
public void mouseMoved (MouseEvent);
In order to deal with advanced operations we must have the following registration methods:
public void addMouseMotionListener (MouseMotionListener);
public void removeMouseMotionListener (MouseMotionListener);

Day - 48:

IO STREAMS:
Generally, in JAVA programming we write two types of applications or programs. They are
volatile or non-persistent program and non-volatile or persistent program.
• A volatile program is one whose result is always stored in main memory of the computer i.e.,
RAM. Whatever the data which is stored in the main memory of the computer that data will be
temporary i.e., the data which is available in main memory is volatile.
• A non-volatile program is one whose result is stored in secondary storage devices i.e., hard disk,
magnetic tapes, etc. the data which is stored in secondary storage devices is permanent. To
store the data we have two approaches. They are using files and using database.
If we store the data permanently in the form of a file, then the data of that file can be
modified by any unauthorized user. Hence, industry always recommends not storing the data in the
files. Since, files do not provide any security. Hence, industry always recommends storing the data in
the form of database. Since, most of the popular databases provide security in the form of user
names and passwords.

In order to store the data permanently in the form of files we must use or import a package
called java.io.*

• Collection of records is known as file. A record is a collection of field values.

• A stream is a flow of data between primary memory and secondary memory either locally
(within the system) or globally (across the network) or [A stream is a flow of bytes between
primary memory and secondary memory either locally (within the system) or globally (across the

By Mr. K.V.R Page 92

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

network)] or [A stream is a flow of bits between primary memory and secondary memory either
locally (within the system) or globally (across th
the network)].

Types of operations or modes on files

files:
On files we perform two types of operations they are read mode and write mode. mode The
following diagram will illustrate how to open the file either in read mode or in write mode or in both
modes:
Types of streams in JAVA:
Based on transferring the data between primary memory to secondary memory and
secondary memory to primary memory. In JAVA we have two types of streams they are byte streams
and char streams.
Byte streams are those in which the data will be transferred one byte at a time between
primary memory to secondary memory and secondary memory to primary memory either locally or
globally. java.io.* package contains some set of classes and interfaces which will transfer one byte at
a time.

Hierarchy chart for byte streams:

Day -49:

InputStream class:
This is an abstract class; hence we cannot create an object of this class directly. This class is
basically used to open the file in read mode. In this class we have the following methods:
1. public int read ();
2. public int length (); // total size of the file
3. public int available (); // available number of bytes only
4. public void close ();

In JAVA end of file (EOF) is indicated by -1.

OutputStream class:
This is also an abstract class; hence we cann
cannotot create an object of this class directly. This
class is used for opening the file in write mode. In this class we have the following methods:
1. public void write (int);
2. public int length ();

By Mr. K.V.R Page 93

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

3. public void available ();

4. public void close ();

FileInputStream class:
This is the concrete (which we can create an object or it contains all defined methods) sub-
class of all InputStream class. This class is always used to open the file in read mode. Opening the file
in read mode is nothing but creating an object of FileInputStream class.
Constructor:
FileInputStream (String fname) throws FileNotFoundException

For example:
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream (“abc.txt”);

If the file name abc.txt does not exist then an object of FileInputStream fis is null and hence
we get FileNotFoundException. If the file name abc.txt is existing then the file abc.txt will be opened
successfully in read mode and an object fis will point to beginning of the file.

FileOutputStream class:
This is the concrete sub-class of all OutputStream classes. This class is always used for
opening the file in write mode is nothing but creating an object of FileOutputStream class.

Constructors:
1. FileOutputStream (String fname);
2. FileOutputStream (String fname, boolean flag);

If the flag is true the data will be appended to the existing file else if flag is false the data will
be overlapped with the existing file data.
If the file is opened in write mode then the object of FileOutputStream will point to that file
which is opened in write mode. If the file is unable to open in write mode an object of
FileOutputStream contains null.

Day -50:

Write the following JAVA programs: 1) create a file that should contain 1 to 10 numbers. 2) read the
data from the file which is created above.

{
try
{

DataInputStream class:
This is used for two purposes. They are reading the data from input device like keyboard
and reading the data from remote machine like server.
In order to perform the above operations we must create an object of DataInputStream
class.

Constructors:
DataInputStream (InputStream);

For example:
DataInputStream dis=new DataInputStream (System.in);

An object of InputStream called ‘in’ is created as a static data member in System class.

Serialization: Serialization is the process of saving the state of the object permanently in the form of
a file.

Steps for developing serialization sub-class:

1. Choose the appropriate package name.
2. Choose the appropriate class name whose object is participating in serialization.
3. Whichever class we have chosen in step 2 that must implements a predefined interface called
java.io.Serializable (this interface does not contain any abstract methods and such type of
interface is known as marked or tagged interface).
4. Choose set of properties or data members of the class.
5. Define set of setter methods (these are called mutators or modifiers).
6. Define set of getter methods (these are also known as inspectors).

Day - 52:

SERIALIZATION PROCESS:
1. Create an object of serializable sub-class.
For example:
Student so=new Student ();

2. Accept the data either from keyboard or from command prompt.

3. Call set of set methods to set the values for the serializable sub-class (Student) object.
For example:
so.setSno (sno);

4. Choose the file name and open it into write mode with the help of FileOutputStream class.
5. Since an object of FileOutputStream class cannot write the entire object at a line to the file. In
order to write the entire object at a time to the file we must create an object of
ObjectOutputStream class and it contains the following Constructor:
ObjectOutputStream (FileOutputStream);
For example:
ObjectOutputStream oos=new ObjectOutputStream (fos);
The object oos is pointing to object fos, hence such type of streams are called chained or
sequenced stream.

6. ObjectOutputStream class contains the following instance method, which will write the entire
object at a time to the file.
For example:
ObjectOutpurStream.writeObject (so);

Day – 53:

DESERIALIZATION PROCESS: De-serialization is a process of reducing the data from the file in the
form of object.

Steps for developing deserialization process:

1. Create an object of that class which was serialized.
For example:
Student so=new Student ();

2. Choose the file name and open it into read mode with the help of FileInputStream class.
For example:
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream (“Student”);

3. Create an object of ObjectInputStream class. The Constructor of ObjectInputStream class is

taking an object of FileInputStream class.
For example:
ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream (fis);

4. ObjectInputStream class contains the following method which will read the entire object or
record.
public Object readObject ();
For example:
Object obj=ois.readObject ();

5. Typecast an object of java.lang.Object class into appropriate Serializable sub-class object for
calling get methods which are specially defined in Serializable sub-class.
For example:
So= (Student) obj;

6. Apply set of get methods for printing the data of Serializable sub-class object.
For example:
int stno=so.getStno ();
String sname=so.getSname ();
flaot marks=so.getMarks ();

7. Close the chained stream.

For example:
fis.close ();
ois.close ();

public static void main (String [] args)

{
try
{
Student so=new Student ();
DataInputStream dis=new DataInputStream (System.in);
System.out.println ("ENTER FILE NAME TO READ");
String fname=dis.readLine ();
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream (fname);
ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream (fis);
Object obj=dis.readObject ();
so=(Object) obj;
System.out.println ("STUDENT NUMBER "+so.getStno ());
System.out.println ("STUDENT NAME "+so.getSname ());
System.out.println ("STUDENT MARKS "+so.getMarks ());
fis.close ();
ois.close ();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe)
{
System.out.println ("FILE DOES NOT EXISTS");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println (e);
}
}
};

Types of serialization:
In java we have four types of serialization; they are complete serialization, selective
serialization, manual serialization and automatic serialization.
• Complete serialization is one in which all the data members of the class participates in
serialization process.
• Selective serialization is one in which few data members of the class or selected members of the
class are participating in serialization process.
In order to avoid the variable from the serialization process, make that variable
declaration as transient i.e., transient variables never participate in serialization process.
• Manual serialization is one in which the user defined classes always implements
java.io.Serializable interface.
• Automatic serialization is one in which object of sub-class of Serializable sub-class participates in
serialization process.
class RegStudent extends Student
{

Buffered Streams:
Buffered streams are basically used to reduce physical number of read and write operation
i.e., buffered streams always increases the performance of ordinary streams.
In byte streams we have two buffered streams, they are BufferedInputStream and
BufferedOutputStream.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 102

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

BufferedInputStream:
BufferedInputStream class is used for reducing number of physical read operation. When we
create an object of BufferedInputStream, we get a temporary peace of memory space whose default
size is 1024 bytes and it can be increased by multiples of 2.

Constructor:
public BufferedInputStream (FileInputStream);
For example:
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream (“abc.dat”);
BufferedInputStream bis=new BufferedInputStream (fis);

BufferedOutputStream:
BufferedOutputStream class is used for reducing number of physical write operation when
we create an object of BufferedOutputStream, we get a temporary peace of memory space whose
default size is 1024 bytes and it can be increased by multiple of 2.

Constructor:
public BufferedOutputStream (FileOutputStream);
For example:
FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream (“abc.dat”);
BufferedOutputStream bos=new BufferedOutputStream (fos);

Day - 54:

Byte streams will transfer one byte of data and they will be implemented in system level
applications such as flow of data in electronic circuits, development of ftp protocol etc.
Character streams are those in which 2 bytes of data will be transferred and it can be
implemented in higher level applications such as internet applications, development of protocols
etc., like http etc.

MULTI THREADING:
Thread:
1. A flow of control is known as thread.
2. If a program contains multiple flow of controls for achieving concurrent execution then that
program is known as multi threaded program.
3. A program is said to be a multi threaded program if and only if in which there exist ‘n’ number of
sub-programs there exist a separate flow of control. All such flow of controls are executing
concurrently such flow of controls are known as threads and such type of applications or
programs is called multi threaded programs.

The languages like C, C++ comes under single threaded modeling languages, since there exist
single flow of controls where as the languages like JAVA, DOT NET are treated as multi threaded
modeling languages, since there is a possibility of creating multiple flow of controls.
When we write any JAVA program there exist two threads they are fore ground thread and back
ground thread.
Fore ground threads are those which are executing user defined sub-programs where as back
ground threads are those which are monitoring the status of fore ground thread. There is a

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

possibility of creating ‘n’ number of fore ground threads and always there exist single back ground
thread.
Multi threading is the specialized form of multi tasking of operating system.

Day - 55:

In information technology we can develop two types of applications. They are process based
applications and thread based applications.

applications.

States of a thread:
When we write any multi threading applications, there exist ‘n’ numbers of threads. All the
threads will under go different types of states. In JAVA for a thread we have five states. They are
new, ready, running, waiting and halted or dead state.

New state: It is one in which the thread about to enter into main memory.
Ready state: It is one in which the thread is entered into memory space allocated and it is waiting for
CPU for executing.
Running state: A state is said to be a running state if and only if the thread is under the control of
CPU.
Waiting state: It is one in which the thread is waiting because of the following factors:
a) For the repeating CPU burst time of the thread (CPU burst time is an amount of the required by
the thread by the CPU).
b) Make the thread to sleep for sleep for some specified amount of time.
c) Make the thread to suspend.
d) Make the thread to wait for a period of time.
e) Make the thread to wait without specifying waiting time.
Halted state: It is one in which the thread has completed its total execution.
As long as the thread is in new and halted states whose execution status is false where as
when the thread is in ready, running and waiting states that execution states is true.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 104

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Creating a thread:
In order to create a thread in JAVA we have two ways. They are by using java.lang.Thread
class and by using java.lang.Runnable interface.
In multi threading we get only one exception known as java.lang.InterruptedException.

Day - 56:

Using java.lang.Thread:
Creating a flow of control in JAVA is nothing but creating an object of java.lang.Thread class.
An object of Thread class can be created in three ways. They are:
i) Directly Thread t=new Thread ();
ii) Using factory method Thread t1=Thread.currentThread ();
iii) Using sub-class of Thread class
class C1 extends Thread
{
……………………;
……………………;
};
C1 o1=new C1 ();
Thread t1=new C1 ();
Here, C1 is the sub-class of Thread class.

Thread API:
public static final int MAX_PRIORITY (10);
public static final int MIN_PRIORITY (1);
public static final int NORM_PRIORITY (5);

The above data members are used for setting the priority to threads are created. By default,
whenever a thread is created whose default priority NORM_PRIORITY.

Constructors:
i) Thread (): With this Constructor we can create an object of the Thread class whose default
thread name is Thread-0.
For example:
Thread t=new Thread ();
System.out.println (t.getName ());// Thread-0

ii) Thread (String): This Constructor is used for creating a thread and we can give the user specified
thread name.
For example:
Thread t=new Thread (“JAVA”);
t.setName (“JAVA”);
t.setPriority (Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);

iii) Thread (Runnable): This Constructor is used for converting Runnable object into Thread object
for entering into run method of Runnable interface by making use of start method of Thread
class without giving thread name.
iv) Thread (Runnable, String): This Constructor is similar to above Constructor but we give thread
name through this Constructor.

Instance methods:
public final void setName (String);
public final String getName ();

By Mr. K.V.R Page 105

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

The above two methods are used for setting the name of the thread and getting the name
from the thread respectively.

For example:
Thread t1=new Thread ();
T1.setName (“JAVA”);
String tp=t1.getName ();
System.out.println (tp);// JAVA

public final void setPriority (int);

public final int getPriority ();

The above two methods are used for setting the priority to the thread and getting the
priority of the thread respectively.

For example:
Thread t1=new Thread ();
Int pri=t1.getPriority ();
System.out.println (pri);// 5
by default
t1.setPriority (Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
pri=t1.getPriority ();
System.out.println (pri); // 10

public void run ():

Any JAVA programmer want to define a logic for the thread that logic must be defined only
run () method. When the thread is started, the JVM looks for the appropriate run () method for
executing the logic of the thread. Thread class is a concrete class and it contains all defined methods
and all these methods are being to final except run () method. run () method is by default contains a
definition with null body. Since we are providing the logic for the thread in run () method. Hence it
must be overridden by extending Thread class into our own class.

For example:
class C1 extends Thread
{
public void run ()
{
………………………;
………………………;
}
};

public final void start ():

This is the method which is used for making the Thread to start to execute the thread logic.
The method start is internally calling the method run ().

For example:
Thread t1=new Thread ();
t1.start ();
Thread t2=Thread.currentThread ();
t2.start ();

public final void suspend ():

This method is used for suspending the thread from current execution of thread. When the
thread is suspended, it sends to waiting state by keeping the temporary results in process control
block (PCB) or job control block (JCB).

By Mr. K.V.R Page 106

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

public final void resume ():

This method is used for bringing the suspended thread from waiting state to ready state.
When the thread is resumed to start executing from where it left out previously by retrieving the
previous result from PCB.

public final void stop ():

This method is used to stop the execution of the current thread and the thread goes to
halted state from running state. When the thread is restarted it starts executing from the beginning
only.

public final void wait (long msec):

This method is used for making the currently executing thread into waiting state for a period
of time. Once this period of time is over, automatically the waiting thread will enter into ready state
from waiting state.

Day - 57:

Static methods:
i) public static void sleep (long msec) throws InterruptedException method is used (waiting
state). If the sleep time is over automatically thread will come from waiting state to ready state.
For example:
Thread.sleep (1000);

ii) public static Thread currentThread () is used for obtaining the threads which are running in the
main memory of the computer.
For example:
Thread t=Thread.currentThread ();
System.out.println (t);// Thread [main (fat), 5, main (bat)]

Write a JAVA program to find the threads which are running internally and print priority values.
Answer:
class ThDemo
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
Thread t=Thread.currentThread ();
System.out.println (t);
t.setName ("ABC");
System.out.println (t);
System.out.println ("IS IT ALIVE..?"+t.isAlive ());// true
Thread t1=new Thread ();// new state
System.out.println ("IS IT ALIVE..?"+t.isAlive ());// false
System.out.println ("DEFAULT NAME OF THREAD = "+t1.getName ());// Thread-0
System.out.println ("MAXIMUM PRIORITY VALUE = "+Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);// 10
System.out.println ("MINIMUM PRIORITY VALUE = "+Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);// 1
System.out.println ("NORMAL PRIORITY VALUE = "+Thread.NORM_PRIORITY);// 5
}
};

Output:
Thread[main,5,main]
Thread[ABC,5,main]
IS IT ALIVE..?true
IS IT ALIVE..?true
DEFAULT NAME OF THREAD = Thread-0
MAXIMUM PRIORITY VALUE = 10

By Mr. K.V.R Page 107

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

MINIMUM PRIORITY VALUE = 1

NORMAL PRIORITY VALUE = 5

Instance methods:
public boolean isAlive () method is used for checking whether the thread is executing or not. It
returns ‘true’ as long as the thread is in ready running and waiting states. It returns ‘false’ as long as
the thread is in new and halted state.

Write a thread program which displays 1 to 10 numbers after each and every 1 second.

public void join () Throws InterruptedException

InterruptedException:
This method is used for making the fore ground threads to join together so that JVM can ca call
the garbage collector only one time for collecting all of them instead of collecting individually.

How a thread executes internally?

Answer:

Day -59:

SYNCHRONIZATION:
It is the process of allowing only one thread at a time among ‘n’ number o off threads into that
area which is sharable to perform write operation.
If anything (either data members or methods or objects or classes) is sharable then we must
apply the concept of synchronization.
Let us assume that there is a sharable variable callecalled
d balance whose initial value is zero.
There are two threads t1 and t2 respectively. t1 and t2 want to update the balance variable with
their respective values i.e., 10 and 20 at the same time. After completion of these two threads the
final value in the balance
alance is either 10 or 20 but not 30 which is the inconsistent result. To achieve the
consistent result we must apply the concept of synchronization.
When we apply synchronization concept on the above scenario, when two threads are
started at same time, the he first thread which is started is given a chance to update balance variable
with its respective value. When second thread is trying to access the balance variable value JVM

By Mr. K.V.R Page 111

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

makes the second thread to wait until first thread completes its execution by locking balance
variable value. After completion of first thread the value in the balance is 10 and second thread will
be allowed to update balance variable value. After completion of second thread the value of the
balance is 30, which is the consistent result. Hence, in synchronization locking and unlocking is taking
place until all the threads are completed their execution.

Synchronization Techniques:
In JAVA we have two types of synchronization techniques. They are synchronized methods
and synchronized blocks.

1. Synchronized methods:
If any method is sharable for ‘n’ number of threads then make the method as synchronized
by using a keyword synchronized.
In JAVA we have two types of synchronized methods. They are synchronized Instance
methods and synchronized static methods.

Synchronized Instance methods: If the ordinary instance method is made it as synchronized then
the object of the corresponding class will be locked.
Syntax:
synchronized <return type> method name (method parameters if any)
{
Block of statements;
}

For example:
class Account
{
int bal=0;
synchronized void deposit (int amt)
{
bal=bal+amt;
System.out.println (“CURRENT BALANCE = ”+bal);
}
};

Synchronized static method: If an ordinary static method is made it as synchronized then the
corresponding class will be locked.
Syntax:
synchronized static <return type> method name (method parameters if any)
{
Block of statements;
}

For example:
class Account
{
static int bal=0;
synchronized static void deposit (static int amt)
{
bal=bal+amt;
System.out.println (“CURRENT BALANCE = ”+bal);
}
};

By Mr. K.V.R Page 112

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

Day -60:

2. Synchronized block:
This is an alternative technique for obtaining the concept of synchronization instead of
synchronized methods.
When we inherit non-synchronized methods from either base class or interface into the
derived class, we cannot make the inherited method as synchronized. Hence, we must use
synchronized blocks.

Syntax:
synchronized (object of current class)
{
Block of statement(s);
}

For example:
class BankOp
{
void deposit (int amt);// p a instance
};
class Account implements BankOp
{
int bal=0;
public void deposit (int amt)
{
synchronized (this);
{
bal=bal+amt;
System.out.println (“current value=”+bal);
}
}
};

Write a synchronization program in which there exist an account, there exist ‘n’ number of
customers and all the customers want to deposit 10 rupees to the existing balance of account.
Answer:
class Account
{
private int bal=0;
synchronized void deposit (int amt)
{
bal=bal+amt;
System.out.println ("CURRENT BALANCE="+bal);
}
int getBal ()
{
return (bal);
}
};
class cust extends Thread
{
Account ac;// has-a relationship
cust (Account ac)
{
this.ac=ac;
}
public void run ()
{
ac.deposit (10);
}

};
class SyncDemo
{
public static final int noc=5;
public static void main (String [] args)
{
Account ac=new Account ();
cust cu []=new cust [noc];
for (int i=0; i<noc; i++)
{
cu [i]=new cust (ac);// giving account object 'ac' to each & every customer object
}
for (int i=0; i<noc; i++)
{
cu [i].start ();
}
for (int i=0; i<noc; i++)
{
System.out.println ("IS ALIVE..? "+cu [i].isAlive ());
}
try
{
for (int i=0; i<noc; i++)
{
cu [i].join ();
}
}
catch (InterruptedException ie)
{
System.out.println (ie);
}
for (int i=0; i<noc; i++)
{
System.out.println ("IS ALIVE..? "+cu [i].isAlive ());
}
System.out.println ("TOTAL BALANCE="+ac.getBal ());
}
};

Output:
IS ALIVE..? true
IS ALIVE..? true
IS ALIVE..? true
IS ALIVE..? true
CURRENT BALANCE=10
CURRENT BALANCE=20
CURRENT BALANCE=30
CURRENT BALANCE=40
CURRENT BALANCE=50
IS ALIVE..? false
IS ALIVE..? false
IS ALIVE..? false
IS ALIVE..? false
IS ALIVE..? false
IS ALIVE..? false
TOTAL BALANCE=50

NOTE:
If we execute the above program on single user operating systems it is mandatory for the
JAVA programmer to write synchronized keyword since user operating system cannot take care
about synchronization by default. Whereas if we run the above program in multi user or threaded
operating systems we need not to use a keyword synchronized (optional).

By Mr. K.V.R Page 114

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

It is always recommended to write synchronized keyword irrespective which ever operating

system we use.

Inter thread communication:

If two or more threads are exchanging the dat
dataa then that communication is known as inter
thread communication. In inter thread communication; an output of one thread is given as an input
to another thread. In order to develop inter thread communication applications we must make use
of a class called java.lang.Object.

Methods in java.lang.Object:
1. public void wait (long msec)
2. public void wait (long msec, int nanosec)
3. public void wait ()
4. public void notify ()
5. public void notifyAll ()

Methods 1 and 2 are used for making the thread to wait for some per period
iod of time. Once the
waiting time is over automatically the thread will come from waiting state to ready state. Method 3
is used for making the thread to wait without specifying waiting time. Method 4 is used for bringing
a single waiting thread into readyy state. Method 5 is used for bringing all the threads from waiting
state to ready state.

COLLECTION FRAMEWORK:
Collection framework is the standardized mechanism of grouping of similar or dissdissimilar type
of objects into a single object. This single object is known as collection framework object.

Goals of collection frameworks:

1. Collection framework improves the performance of JAVA, J2EE projects (when we want to
transfer the bulk amount of data from client to server and server to client, using collection
framework we can transfer that entire data at a time).
2. Collection framework allows us to prove similar or dissimilar type of objects.
3. Collection framework is dynamic in nature i.e., they are extends (arrays contains the size which
is fixed in nature and they allows similar type of data).
4. Collection framework contains adaptability feature (adaptability is the process of adding one
collection object at the end of another collection object).
5. Collection framework is algorithmic oriented (collection framework contains various sorting and
searching techniques of data structures as a predefined concepts).

By Mr. K.V.R Page 117

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

6. In order to deal with collection framework we must import a package called java.util.*

Collection framework
ramework is divided into two categories. They are new collection framework and
legacy (old) collection framework.

NEW COLLECTION FRAMEWORK:

New collection framework is again broadly divided into two categories. They are one
dimensional collection framework and two dimensional collection framework.

One dimensional collection framework:

framework
A one dimensional collection framework is one in which the data is organized either in the
form of row or in the form of column by containing similar or dissimilar catego
categories
ries of objects into a
single object. This single object is known as one dimensional collection framework object. One
dimensional collection framework contains one dimensional collection framework interfaces and
one dimensional collection framework classes.
classes

a) One dimensional collection framework interfaces

interfaces:
As a part of one dimensional collection framework interfaces in JAVA we have five
interfaces. They are collection, list, set, sorted set and queue.

Day - 63:

java.util.Collection:
Collection is an interface
nterface whose object allows us to organize similar or different type of
objects into single object. The Collection interface is having the following features:
i) It is available at the top of the hierarchy of all the interfaces which are available in the collection
col
framework.
ii) An object of Collection allows us to add duplicate elements.
iii) Collection object always displays the data in forward direction only.
iv) Collection object will print the data on the console in random order.
v) Collection object always allows us to to insert an element at end only i.e., we cannot insert an
element at the specific position.

java.util.List:
i) List is the sub-interface of java.util.Collection interface.
ii) List object also allows us to add duplicates.
iii) List object automatically displays the data
d in sorted order.
iv) List object allows us to add an element either at the ending position or at specific position.
v) List object allows us to retrieve the data in forward direction, backward direction and random
retrieval.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 118

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

java.util.Set:
i) Set is the sub-interface of java.util.Collection interface.
ii) An object of Set does not allows duplicates i.e., all the elements in the set must be distinct
(unique).
iii) Set object always displays the data in random order.
iv) Set object allows us to add the elements only at ending position.
v) Set object allows us to retrieve the data only in forward direction.

java.util.SortedSet:
i) SortedSet is the sub-interface of java.util.Set interface.
ii) SortedSet object does not allows duplicates.
iii) SortedSet object will displays the data automatically in sorted order.
iv) SortedSet object allows us to add the elements only at ending position.
v) SortedSet object allows us to retrieve only in forward direction.

java.util.Queue

Methods in Collection interface:

1. public int size (): This method is used for determining the number of elements in Collection
interface object.
2. public boolean add (java.lang.Object): This method is used for adding an object to Collection
object. When we use this method to add the object to Collection objects and List object, this
method always returns true. Since, Collection object and List object allows duplicates. When we
apply the same method with Set and SortedSet methods and when we are trying to add
duplicates, this method returns false.

NOTE:
Whatever the data we want to add through collection framework object that fundamental
data must be converted into the corresponding wrapper class object and all the objects of wrapper
classes are treated as objects of java.lang.Object class.

Day - 64:

3. public boolean addAll (Collection):

This method is used for adding the entire collection object at the end of another Collection
object. As long as we apply this method with List and Collection interfaces, it returns true. Since,
they allow duplicates. When we apply this method with Set and SortedSet, this method may return
false. Since, duplicates are not allowed.

NOTE:
Collection framework is nothing but assembling different or similar type of objects and
dissembling similar or different type of objects and it is shown in the following diagrammatic
representation.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 119

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

4. public boolean isEmpty ():

Returns true when there are no object found in Collection interface object otherwise return
false.

5. public Object [] toArray ():

This method is used for extracting the data from Collection
Collection object in the form of array of
objects of java.lang.Object class.
For example:
int s=0;
Object obj []=s.toArray ();
for (int i=0; i<obj.length; i++)
{
Interger io= (Integer) obj [i];
int x=io.intValue ();
s=s+x;
}
System.out.println (“Sum = ”+s);

6. public Iterator iterator ():

This method is used for extracting the data from Collection framework object.
For example:
Iterator itr=co.iterator ();
Int s=0;

While (itr.hasNext ())

By Mr. K.V.R Page 120

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

{
Object obj=itr.next ();
Integer io= (Integer) obj;
int x=io.intValue ();
s=s+x;
}

Day -65:

Iterator interface: Iterator is an interface which always uses the extract the data from any Collection
object.

Methods in Iterator interface:

1. public boolean hasNext ()
2. public Object next ()
3. public Object remove ()

Method 1 is used for checking whether we have next element or not. If next element
available in Collection object it returns true otherwise it returns false. Method 2 is used for obtaining
the next element in the Collection object. Method 3 is used for removing the element from
Collection object. Methods 2 and 3 can be used as long as method 1 returns true.

List: List is an interface which extends Collection.

Methods in List interface:

1. public Object get (int): This method is used for obtaining that element from the specified
position. If the get method is not returning any value because of invalid position the value of
object of object is NULL.
2. public Object remove (int): This method is used for removing the objects from List object based
on position.
3. public Object remove (Object): This method is used for removing the objects from List object
based on content.
4. Public void add (int pos, Object): This method is used for adding an object at the specified
position.
5. public void addAll (int pos, Collection): This method is used for adding one Collection object to
another Collection object at the specified position.
6. public List headList (Object obj): This method is used for obtaining those objects Xi’s which are
less than or equal to target object (Xi≤obj).
7. public List tailList (Object obj): This method is used for obtaining those objects Xi’s which are
greater than target object (Xi>obj or Xi≥(obj-1)).
8. public List subList (Object obj1, Object obj2): This method is used for obtaining those values
which are a part of List i.e., range of values [or] In subList method is select those values Xi’s
which are less than or equal to object 1 and greater than object 2 (obj1≤Xi<obj2).
9. public ListIterator listIterator (): This method is used for extracting the data from List object
either in forward or in backward or in both the directions. ListIterator is an interface which
extends Iterator interface. This interface contains the following methods:
public boolean hasPrevious ();
1
public Object previous ();
2
public void set (Object);
3
All the methods of iterator are also coming. Method-1 is used for checking weather we have
previous element or not, this method returns true as long as we have previous elements otherwise

By Mr. K.V.R Page 121

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

false. Method-22 is used for obtaining previous element. Method

Method-3 is used
ed for modifying the existing
Collection object returns true. Methods 2 and 3 can be used as long as method
method-11 returns true.

Day - 66:

One dimentional collection framework classes:

One dimensional collection framework classes are defining all the method
methods of collection
framework interfaces. The following table gives the collection framework classes and its hierarchy.

Interfaces Classes
Collection Abstract
AbstractCollection implements Collection
List AbstractList extends AbstractCollection implements List
Set AbstractSet extends AbstractCollection implements Set
SortedSet AbstractSequentialList extends AbstractList implements SortedSet
LinkedList extends AbstractSequential
ArrayList extends AbstractSequential
HashSet extends AbstractSet
TreeSet extends AbstractSet

Collection framework classes contains the definition for those methods which are coming
from Collection interfaces i.e., all Collection interface methods defined in collection classes
AbstractCollection implements Collection, AbstractList eextends
xtends AbstractCollection implements List,
AbstractSet extends AbstractCollection implements Set, AbstractSequentialList extends AbstractList
implements SortedSet, LinkedList extends AbstractSequential, ArrayList extends AbstractSequential,
HashSet extends AbstractSet and TreeSet extends AbstractSet.
The classes AbstractCollection implements Collection, AbstractList extends
AbstractCollection implements List, AbstractSet extends AbstractCollection implements Set and
AbstractSequentialList extends AbstractList
AbstractList implements SortedSet are abstract classes we never
make use of them as a part of real time applications but we make use of the classes LinkedList
extends AbstractSequential, ArrayList extends AbstractSequential, HashSet extends AbstractSet and
TreeSet extends AbstractSet.

java.util.LinkedList:
LinkedList is the concrete sub
sub-class
class of collection classes. LinkedList object allows us to group
similar or dissimilar type of objects. Creating a LinkedList is nothing but creating an object of
java.util.LinkedList class.
The data is organized in LinkedList in the form of nodes. The node contains two parts, they
are data part, address part.

Data part always gives the actual data which we want to represent. Address part represents
address of the next node.
For the last node in the LinkedList the address part must be NULL which indicates end of the
LinkedList.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 122

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

LinkedList API:
Constructors:
LinkedList ();
LinkedList (int size);

Instance methods:
Object getFirst ();
1
Object getLast ();
2
public Object obj);
3
void addFirst (Object
public void addLast (Object obj);
4
public void removeFirst ();
5
public void removeLast ();
6

Methods 1 and 2 are used for obtaining first and last objects of LinkedList respectively.
Methods 3 and 4 are used for adding similar or dif
different
ferent objects to the LinkedList object respectively.
Methods 5 and 6 are used for removing first and last objects from LinkedList respectively.

Set: Set does not contain any special method except Collection interface methods.

SortedSet:
SortedSet extends
ds Set. The following are the methods which are specially available in
SortedSet interface.
public Object first ();
public Object last ();
public SortedSet headSet (Object obj); xi <= obj
public SortedSet tailSet (Object obj1, Object obj2);

Day - 67:

Write
ite a java program which implements the concept of LinkedList?
Answer:

ll.add (new Integer (10));
ll.add (new Integer (20));
ll.add (new Integer (30));
ll.add (new Integer (40));

By Mr. K.V.R Page 123

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

System.out.println ("CONTENTS OF ll = "+ll);

System.out.println ("SIZE = "+ll.size ());
// retrieving data of ll using toArray ()
Object obj []=ll.toArray ();
int s=0;
for (int i=0; i<obj.length; i++)
{
Integer io= (Integer) obj [i];
int x=io.intValue ();
s=s+x;
}
System.out.println ("SUM USING toArray () = "+s);
ll.addFirst (new Integer (5));
ll.addFirst (new Integer (6));
System.out.println ("CONTENTS OF ll = "+ll);
System.out.println ("SIZE = "+ll.size ());
// retrieving data of ll using iterator ()
Iterator itr=ll.iterator ();
int s1=0;
while (itr.hasNext ())
{
Object obj1=itr.next ();
Integer io1= (Integer) obj1;
int x1=io1.intValue ();
s1=s1+x1;
}
System.out.println ("SUM USING iterator () = "+s1);
// retrieving data of ll using ListIterator ()
ListIterator litr=ll.listIterator ();
while (litr.hasNext ())
{
Object obj2=litr.next ();
System.out.print (obj2+",");
}
System.out.println ("\n");

System.out.print (obj3+",");
}
System.out.println ("\n");
Object obj4=ll.get (2);// random retrieval
System.out.println (obj4);
}
};

Disadvantages of LinkedList:
1. Additional memory space is created for address part of the node in heap memory.
2. Retrieval time is more.
3. Since, we are wasting most of the memory space for addresses, performance will be
reduced.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 124

 J2EE (core JAVA) Notes

java.util.ArrayList:
ArrayList is also concrete sub-class of collection framework classes whose object allows us to
organize the data either in similar type or in different type.
Creating ArrayList is nothing but creating an object of ArrayList class.

ArrayList API:
ArrayList ();
ArrayList (int size);

Advantages of ArrayList over LinkedList:

1. No additional memory space is required for data of ArrayList.
2. Retrieval time is quite faster.
3. Performance is high. Since, there is no memory space is required for maintaining address of
data of ArrayList.

Two dimensional framework or maps:

Two dimensional framework organize the data in the form of (key,value) pair. The value of
key is an object and they must be unique. The value of value is also an object which may or may not
be unique. Two dimensional framework contains collection of interfaces and collection of classes
which are also known as map interfaces and map classes.

Map interfaces:
In maps we have three essential interfaces; they are java.util.Map, java.util.Map.Entry and
java.util.SortedMap

java.util.Map:
java.util.Map extends Collection. An object of Map allows to organize the data in the form of
(key, value) pair. Here key and value must be objects. An object of Map allows displaying the data in
that order in which order we have added the data.

Methods:
public boolean put (Object kobj, Object vobj):
This method is used for adding the data in the form of (key, value). This method returns false
when we are trying to add duplicate key and values. This method returns true as long as we enter
unique key objects.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 126

 J2SE (core JAVA) Notes
public boolean putAll (Map): This method is used for adding one Map object at the end of another
Map object.
public Set entrySet (): This method is used for obt
obtaining
aining the data of the map in the form of Set
object.
public Object get (Object vobj): This method is used for obtaining value of value by passing value of
key object.
public void remove (Object kobj): This method is used for removing the entire map entry by passing
the value of key object.

NOTE:
The following diagram gives an idea about how to organize the data in the form of (key,
value) and how to retrieve the data from Map object.

Day - 69:

java.util.Map.Entry:
Here Map is an interface and Entry iiss the class in Map interface. java.util.Map.Entry is used
for retrieving the data separately in the form of key object and value object from the Map object.

By Mr. K.V.R Page 127

 J2SE (core JAVA) Notes
Methods:
public Object getKey ();
1
public Object getValue ();
2
Method 1 and 2 is used for obtaining key object and value object separately.

java.util.SortedSet:
SortedMap extends Map. An object of SortedMap displays the data by default in sorted
order.

Methods:
public Object first ();
public Object last ();
public SortedSet headMap (Object kobj); xi <= kobj
public SortedSet tailMap (Object kobj); xi > kobj
public SortedSet subMap (Object kobj, Object vobj); kobj1 <= xi < kobj2

Map classes:
Map classes contains all the definitions for the abstract methods of Map interface. In
java.util.* package we have the following Map classes and whose hierarchy is given below:
1. AbstractMap implements Map
2. AbstractSortedMap extends AbstractMap implements SortedMap
3. HashMap extends AbstractMap
4. TreeMap extends AbstractSortedMap

HashMap TreeMap
1. It extends AbstractMap. 1. It extends AbstractSortedMap.
2. It follows hashing mechanism. 2. It follows binary tree concept to obtain
data in (k, v) form.
3. Retrieval time is more. 3. Retrieval time is less.
4. Insert, update and delete operations 4. Insert, update and delete operations
takes more time. takes less time.
5. Creating an object of HashMap 5. Creating an object of TreeMap.
6. Random order. 6. Sorted order.

Creating Hashtable is nothing but creating an object of Hashtable class.
