What are JSP ACTIONS?
- JSP actions use constructs in XML syntax to control the behavior of the servlet engine. You can dynamically insert a file, reuse JavaBeans components, forward the user to another page, or generate HTML for the Java plugin. Available actions include: jsp:include - Include a file at the time the page is requested. jsp:useBean - Find or instantiate a JavaBean. jsp:setProperty - Set the property of a JavaBean. jsp:getProperty - Insert the property of a JavaBean into the output. jsp:forward - Forward the requester to a newpage. Jsp: plugin - Generate browser-specific code that makes an OBJECT or EMBED
What are JSP scripting elements?
- JSP scripting elements lets to insert Java code into the servlet that will be generated from the current JSP page. There are three forms: a) Expressions of the form <%= expression %> that are evaluated and inserted into the output, b) Scriptlets of the form<% code %>that are inserted into the servlet's service method, and c) Declarations of the form <%! Code %>that are inserted into the body of the servlet class, outside of any existing methods.
What are methods and how are they defined?
- Methods are functions that operate on instances of classes in which they are defined. Objects can communicate with each other using methods and can call methods in other classes. Method definition has four parts. They are name of the method, type of object or primitive type the method returns, a list of parameters and the body of the method. A method's signature is a combination of the first three parts mentioned above.
What is Server-Side Includes (SSI)?
- Server-Side Includes allows embedding servlets within HTML pages using a special servlet tag. In many servlets that support servlets, a page can be processed by the server to include output from servlets at certain points inside the HTML page. This is accomplished using a special internal SSINCLUDE, which processes the servlet tags. SSINCLUDE servlet will be invoked whenever a file with an. shtml extension is requested. So HTML files that include server-side includes must be stored with an . shtml extension.
What is Servlet chaining?
- Servlet chaining is a technique in which two or more servlets can cooperate in servicing a single request. In servlet chaining, one servlet's output is piped to the next servlet's input. This process continues until the last servlet is reached. Its output is then sent back to the client.

What is the difference between superclass and subclass?
- A super class is a class that is inherited whereas sub class is a class that does the inheriting.
What is adapter class?
- An adapter class provides an empty implementation of all methods in an event listener interface. Adapter classes are useful when you want to receive and process only some of the events that are handled by a particular event listener interface. You can define a new class to act listener by extending one of the adapter classes and implementing only those events in which you are interested. For example, the MouseMotionAdapter class has two methods, mouseDragged()and mouseMoved(). The signatures of these empty are exactly as defined in the MouseMotionListener interface. If you are interested in only mouse drag events, then you could simply extend MouseMotionAdapter and implement mouseDragged() .
How many ways can an argument be passed to a subroutine and explain them?
- An argument can be passed in two ways. They are passing by value and passing by reference. Passing by value: This method copies the value of an argument into the formal parameter of the subroutine. Passing by reference: In this method, a reference to an argument (not the value of the argument) is passed to the parameter.
What is the difference between Assignment and Initialization?
- Assignment can be done as many times as desired whereas initialization can be done only once.

What is the use of bin and lib in JDK?
- Bin contains all tools such as javac, appletviewer, awt tool, etc., whereas lib contains API and all packages.
What is casting?
- Casting is used to convert the value of one type to another.
What are Class, Constructor and Primitive data types?
- Class is a template for multiple objects with similar features and it is a blue print for objects. It defines a type of object according to the data the object can hold and the operations the object can perform. Constructor is a special kind of method that determines how an object is initialized when created. Primitive data types are 8 types and they are: byte, short, int, long, float, double, boolean, char.
What is meant by controls and what are different types of controls in AWT?
- Controls are components that allow a user to interact with your application and the AWT supports the following types of controls: Labels, Push Buttons, Check Boxes, Choice Lists, Lists, Scrollbars, Text Components. These controls are subclasses of Component.
What is the difference between an argument and a parameter?
- While defining method, variables passed in the method are called parameters. While using those methods, values passed to those variables are called arguments.

Atomic Swing Components
- Basic Controls JButton, JComboBox, JList, JMenu, JSlider, JSpinner, JTextField - Uneditable Displays JLabel, JProgressBar - Interactive Displays JColorChooser, JFileChooser, JTable, JTextArea, JTree
Top Swing Level
- Can appear anywhere on desktop. - Serve as root of containment hierarchy, all others must be contained in top lvl container - have content pane - can have menu bar added JFrame, JDialog, JApplet
Disadvantages of Centralised Servers
- Central point of failure - Latency if remote - Inaccessibility if off-line
Collections
- Compound data type that groups multiple elements of the same type together. - Encapsulates the data structure needed to store the elements and the algorithms needed to manipulate them. - Group of elements of the same type
Race Conditions
- Concurrent access problem - outcome depends on which thread gets to a value first - Results in asynchronous changes = can't predict variables affected by threads - Shared variables need 'volatile' keyword
JPanel
- Contain parts of UI - Can contain other JPanels - Contain multiple different types of components.
The Merge (version control)
- Copy-modify-merge - Harry and Sally access at same time, both edit, Sally publishes first and Harry receives 'out-of-date' error. - Version control system performs diff operation and identifies conflicts. - Manual intervention required if conflicts. - Harry has to compare latest version with his own, creates merge and publishes merge.
GIT
- Distributed version control. - Snapshot based = takes snapshot of each version. - Uses checksums to identify changes to files.
The Lock (version control)
- Lock-modify-unlock - When Harry accesses file he LOCKS it, reads/edits then releases lock. Sally then LOCKS it and does the same. - Only 1 person can access file at time!
Applying Encapsulation*
- Make fields private - make accessors (getters) and mutators (setters) public - make helper (utility) methods private
Threads
- Multiple processes within a single program. - Executed in slices or parallel. - Based on a priority system : this thread before that thread - Separate units of a parent process that share the resources of the parent process
Synchronization
- Only allows one thread access at a time. - Sets a lock on the method or object - When synchronized method terminated, lock released - Places an overhead on execution time (Don't over use it)
Pass by value
- Primitive types - makes a copy so does not affect original
Benefits of Refactoring
- Reduces maintenance problems - Reduces probability of errors - Reduces duplicated code.

- Say that I have a cookie called "foo, " that I set a while ago & I want it to go away. I simply: <% Cookie killCookie = new Cookie("foo", null); KillCookie. setPath("/"); killCookie. setMaxAge(0); response. addCookie(killCookie); %>
Abstraction (extend)
- Segregation of implementation from interface. - cannot be instantiated - Partial implementation - Class can only extend one abstract class
What is stored procedure?
- Stored procedure is a group of SQL statements that forms a logical unit and performs a particular task. Stored Procedures are used to encapsulate a set of operations or queries to execute on database. Stored procedures can be compiled and executed with different parameters and results and may have any combination of input/output parameters.
Observer Pattern
- Synchronises state and/or responses across a collection of objects in response to an event. - Have Observer and Subject - Observer queries Subject to determine what was the change of state and responds appropriately based on Subjects new state. - Subject adds observers, sets state and gets state.
What is synchronization?
- Synchronization is the mechanism that ensures that only one thread is accessing the resources at a time.
Livelock
- Thread acts in response to another thread, makes no progress but is not blocked - Thread states can and do change but no progress can be made - think of corridor dance example Philosophers pass fork back and forth but no one gets to eat.
Disadvantages of the the Lock (version control)
- Unnecessary serialisation of development steps - Programmers forget to release the lock - Doesn't consider dependencies between classes that may be out to different people at the same time.
Central Repository
- Version database stored on server. - Team checks out version from database. - Checkout = make local copy.
What is deadlock?
- When two threads are waiting each other and can't precede the program is said to be deadlock.
base class
- class that other classes inherit from
Safely stop thread
- control loop with stopFlag - make sure stopFlag independent of other threads - check value frequently - use end() private volatile boolean stopflag; stopflag = false; //in run() try block: while (!stopflag) { d = Math.log(i++); sleep(1);} public void end() { stopflag = true;}
Specialization
- creating new subclass from existing class for more specialized version of parent
Encapsulation*
- data hiding - make fields in class private, accessible via public methods - protective barrier against outside code - access is controlled by interface - Alter code without affecting those that use it
Disadvantages of TDD
- difficult for programs with complex interactions with their environment e.g. GUI - Bad tests = bad code - if programmer write own code = blind spots - scalability debated.
Advantages of exceptions
- error handling is separated from normal code - allows different kind of errors to be distinguished
Unchecked exception
- errors and run time exceptions - result of programming errors AssertionError, VirtualMachineError, ArithmeticException, NullPointerException, IndexOutOfBoundsException
Thread safety
- for GUIs use EventDispatch thread and SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new threadClass()) public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true); SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new HelloWorldSwing());
data hiding
- hides internal object details
Checked exception
- if can throw 'checked' exception must: 1. include exception handling code to catch exception or 2. Declare to its caller that it potentially throws exception
java.lang.Runnable
- implemented by classes that run on threads - implement instead of extending Thread Need a Thread wrapper - Thread one = new Thread(new HelloRunnable());
Timer
- implements Runnable - runs a TimerTask object on JVM background thread - so use to Schedule Tasks (threads) // set Timer as a daemon thread Timer timer = new Timer(true); timer.schedule(hello1, 1000); // will run after 1000 milisec timer.schedule(hello2, 2000);
a class that extends a class
- inherits methods another class
Maps
- maps keys to values - can have duplicate keys - each key maps to one value
Object lock (synchronization)
- must be final, otherwise could change and dif threads synchronize on dif objects private final static Object sharedLock = new Object(); public static void displayMessage(JumbledMessage jm) throws InterruptedException { synchronized(sharedLock) { for (int i = 0; i < jm.message.length(); i++) { System.out.print(jm.message.charAt(i)); Thread.currentThread().sleep(50); } System.out.println();}}
Java
- object oriented - architecture neutral - portable - fast -secure -network aware - syntax based on C and C++
Queues
- ordered sequence of elements - access via endpoints - structures for LIFO and FIFO
Lists
- ordered sequence of elements - indexable by individual elements or range - elements can be insereted at or removed from any position - can have duplicates
super classs
- parrent class
final
- prevents class from being extended or overridden - prevents variables from being altered = constant
volatile
- thread goes straight to source and doesn't locally ache - ensuring working with up to date data "Go back and check" - reduce concurrent thread access issues. private volatile boolean pleaseStop; while (!pleaseStop) { // do some stuff... }
Instance variables
- variables inside class but not in methods - instantiated when class loaded - accessed by any method in class

What is the difference between an interface and an abstract class?
-All methods in an interface are implicitly abstract. Abstract classes don't have to have abstract methods but interfaces do. -Interface variables are also final and abstract class variables don't have to be final. -An abstract class implements an interface and does not have to provide implementation for the interface methods.
Object-oriented programming
-Identify and define objects and solve problems by manipulating objects -look at everything as objects that already have a set of directions

Assignment
=
Boolean equals
==
What is the difference between = and ==?
== is used for comparison and = is used for assignment.
Boolean Expressions
A boolean expression often uses one of Java's equality operators or relational operators, which all return boolean results: Note the difference between the equality operator (==) and the assignment operator (=)
Boolean
A boolean value represents a true or false condition (1 bit) The reserved words true and false are the only valid values for a boolean type boolean done = false; A boolean variable are usually used to indicate whether a particular condition is true, such as whether the size of a dog is greater than 60

A constant is an identifier that is similar to a variable except that it holds the same value during its entire existence As the name implies, it is constant and cannot be changed The compiler will issue an error if you try to change the value of a constant In Java, we use the final modifier to declare a constant final int NUM_SEASONS = 4; whenever you use the reference variable, NUM_SEASONS, it will equal 4 Constants are useful for three important reasons First, they give meaning to otherwise unclear literal values Example: MAX_LOAD means more than the literal 250 Second, they facilitate program maintenance If a constant is used in multiple places, its value need only be set in one place Third, they formally establish that a value should not change, avoiding inadvertent errors by other programmers

static fields and methods
By default, data members and methods are "instance" members and are said to be "non static." Non static instance data members are copied to each object instance of the class, so each object has its own copy. Non static methods can reference these copied data members through an implicit object reference (but you can access it via "this" when necessary). The concept of non static instance members is illustrated below. public class Book { private String title = ""; public void setTitle(String title) { this.title = title; } } When there's a need to not copy data members to each object instance, such as constants. They can remain in the class definition. Data members and methods that are not associated with object instances are call "class" members; they are local to the class and are not affiliated with the objects. Annotated with the keyword "static": public static final int CHECKOUT_DURATION = 21; Because the above data member is a class variable, it can be accessed through the class name as follows: int duration = Book.CHECKOUT_DURATION; Methods can also be designated as static: private static int nextId = 1; public static int getNextId() { return nextId++; } Above, method getNextId() provides access to the static data member and manages its next value. IMPORTANT: "static only sees static" but "non-static sees everything" static members can only access other static members; in particular, static members cannot access non-static members. Non-static members have access to all members (both static and non-static).
Method m1 has a declaration of void m1() and m2 has a method declaration of public static void m2(). m2 wants to call m2, how does m2 do that?
By making an instance of the class m1 is in and using that, or by changing its method declaration so it is not static.
You can create an array of three doubles by writing : A. double ar[] = 3; B. double ar[3]; C. double ar[] = { 1.1, 2.2, 3.3 }; D. double[] ar = double(3);

Public modifier
Can be applied to a class and/or individual data members and methods within a class; indicates that the given item is accessible across package boundaries, the following class and method are both accessible outside the package in which they're defined. package domain; public class Book { public void checkOut() { } }
Default (no modifier)
Can be applied to a class and/or individual data members and methods within a class; indicates that the given item is not accessible across package boundaries (i.e., it limits access to members of the same package) e.g., the following class and method are NOT accessible outside the package in which they're defined. package domain; class Book { void checkout() { } }
Protected modifier
Can be applied to individual data members and methods (but cannot be applied to a class); when applied, it restricts access to members of the same class and any derived class; e.g., the following method, setHashCode, is only accessible to members of the LibraryItem class and any derived classes (e.g., Book). package domain; public class LibraryItem { protected void setHashCode() { } } package domain; public class Book extends LibraryItem { public LibraryItem () { setHashCode(); } }
Private
Can be applied to individual data members and methods (but cannot be applied to a class); when applied, it restricts access to members of the same class; e.g., the following data member, isbn, is only accessible to members of the Book class, and nowhere else. package domain; public class Book { private String isbn; public void getIsbn() { return isbn } }

Creating Objects: Reference Variable
Dog is the data type. That's what reference allows us to do. It makes it user friendly by letting us make our own data types. We tell the computer to set aside a chunk of space for the data type, Dog. The size of the chunk will be big enough to hold an address, because reference is indirect. No actual amount will go in like with primitive datatypes where we know the amount of storage being used. It will just leave space (a placeholder)
Suppose we want to store a tic-tac-toe board in a program; it's a three-by-three array. It will store "O", "X" or a space at each location (that is, every location is used), and you use a two-dimensional array called board to store the individual tiles. Suppose you pass board to a method that accepts a two-dimensional array as a parameter. If the method was designed to process two-dimensional arrays of various sizes. What information about the size of the array would have to be passed to the method so it could properly process the array? A. the number of columns in the array B. the number of rows in the array C. the number of cells in the array D. Both A and B E. No additional information is needed, as the array carries its size information with it.
E. No additional information is needed, as the array carries its size information with it.
Suppose we define a class called NameInfo. It has several private fields, including String hospName; and several public methods, including one that accesses hospName: String getName(); Now, we define an array like this: NameInfo[] listOfHospitals = new NameInfo[100]; Which expression below correctly accesses the name of the hospital that's stored in position 5 (that is, the 6th element) of the listOfHospitals?

What is the stack? What kinds of variables are created there?
Each Java virtual machine thread has a private Java virtual machine stack, created at the same time as the thread. A Java virtual machine stack stores frames. A Java virtual machine stack is analogous to the stack of a conventional language such as C: it holds local variables and partial results, and plays a part in method invocation and return. Because the Java virtual machine stack is never manipulated directly except to push and pop frames, frames may be heap allocated.
How to Execute Programs
Each type of CPU executes only a particular machine language A program must be translated into machine language before it can be executed Compiler: translates only once Most high-level languages: C, C++, etc. Interpreter: translates every time you run programs Most scripting languages: python, perl, etc. The Java approach is somewhat different. It combines the use of a compiler and an interpreter.
Users cannot edit the text in a JTextArea if its _ property is set to false.

What are Encapsulation, Inheritance and Polymorphism?
Encapsulation is the mechanism that binds together code and data it manipulates and keeps both safe from outside interference and misuse. Inheritance is the process by which one object acquires the properties of another object. Polymorphism is the feature that allows one interface to be used for general class actions.
The following code fragment reads in two numbers: (Choose all that apply.) Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int i = input.nextInt(); double d = input.nextDouble(); What are the correct ways to enter these two numbers?
Enter an integer, a space, a double value, and then the Enter key. Enter an integer, two spaces, a double value, and then the Enter key. Enter an integer, an Enter key, a double value, and then the Enter key.
When is an instance block executed?
Every Time an instance of the class it was created is made. Before the constructor.
The string class
Every character string (enclosed in double quotation characters) is an object in Java defined by the String class Every character string can be used to create a string object Because strings are so common, we don't have to use the new operator to create a String object (special syntax that works only for strings) String name1 = "Steve Jobs"; It is equivalent to String name1 = new String("Steve Jobs");
What does the substring method written like this return - stringName.subString(1,5)?
Everything in that string starting from index one and up to 5-1 or 4.

What happens when you divide and Int by 0?
Exception
Throwing & Catching Exceptions
Exceptions can be thrown either by the Java API or by your code. To throw an exception examples: throw new Exception(); throw new Exception("Some message goes here"); throw new LoginFailedException("User not authenticated"); Once an exception is thrown, the JVM starts looking for a handler in the call stack to transfer execution of the program. Exception handlers are declared in the context of a try/catch block. Catching Exceptions Java supports the catching of exceptions in what's known as a try/catch block or also known as a try/catch/finally block. Syntax for a try/catch block: try { ... } catch (SomeException e) { ... } The interpretation of the try/catch block is the following: the statements between the try and catch are executed sequentially, and if no exception occurs, then execution continues with the first statement that follows the try/catch block. On the other hand, if an exception occurs while executing the statements between the try/catch, execution transfers to the catch block, and then once the catch block finishes executing, execution continues with the first statement after the try/catch block.

What does the method .toString do from the class object?
Gives a string representation of an object. This is usually overridden and if not will print the area memory.
Arrays
Group (or collection) of items that are the same type. declares an array object, daysOfWeek, as an array of seven String objects: String [ ] daysOfWeek = new String[7]; assign the seven elements as follows: daysOfWeek[0] = "Sunday"; daysOfWeek[1] = "Monday"; daysOfWeek[2] = "Tuesday"; daysOfWeek[3] = "Wednesday"; daysOfWeek[4] = "Thursday"; daysOfWeek[5] = "Friday"; daysOfWeek[6] = "Saturday"; values could be initialized at the point of declaration: private String [ ] daysOfWeek = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday" , "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}; The size of the array is available via the length property (e.g., daysOfWeek.length), allowing you to iterate through its values in a "for loop": for (int i = 0; i<daysOfWeek.length; i++) { System.out.println(daysOfWeek[i]); } Array downside, once declared, their size is fixed. Can create a new, larger array and move the contents of the first array into the second, but that is clumsy. Typically used only for grouping items whose size is fixed.
Java Collection Framework
Group of interfaces, classes, and algorithms that together provide a rich set of abstractions for grouping objects. Maps - A collection whose entries are accessed by some unique identifier. Lists - A collection whose entries can be accessed with an index. Sets - A collection whose entries are guaranteed to be unique. Queues - A collection whose entries are ordered, based on some scheme.

How to create objects once a class is established? How to "hold" those created objects? For primitive types (such as byte, int, double), we use a variable of that particular type as a cup to store its actual value BUT Objects are different There is actually no such thing as an object variable, because we can't put a number on it. There is only an object reference variable An object reference variable holds something like a pointer or an address that represents a way to get to the object. When you copy a string object, you're really copying it's address.
HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol; the protocol that defines communication between web browsers and web servers
JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE
Icon containing an exclamation point, cautions the user of potential problems.
Java Identifiers
Identifiers are the "words" in a program -Name of a class: Dog, MyFirstApp, and Lincoln -Name of a method: bark and main -Name of a variable: args (later in this course) Rules: A Java identifier can be made up of -letters -digits (cannot begin with a digit) -the underscore character ( _ ), -the dollar sign ($) Java is case sensitive: -Total, total, and TOTAL are different identifiers By convention, programmers use different case styles for different types of identifiers, such as title case for simple class names - Lincoln camel case for compound words - MyFirstApp upper case for constant variables - MAXIMUM
What is method overriding?
If a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by its parent class, it is known as Method Overriding. It is used for runtime polymorphism and to provide the specific implementation of the method.
The body of a while statement executes _____.
If it's condition is true
Basic Program Execution
If there are errors the compiler will complain and not let us go onto the next step. We must trace back to the source and fix the problem in our code. It's important to understand why you're getting errors. LOOK IT UP debuggers can help you find errors in your code
How does the garbage collector know when to return memory to the heap?
If there is a pointer to the memory
What is final variable?
If you make any variable as final, you cannot change the value of final variable(It will be constant).
Double
If... else is a ____-selection statement.
The Main Method
In Java, everything goes in a class (object-oriented) After you compile the source code (.java) into a bytecode or class file (.class), you can run the class using the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) When the JVM loads the class file, it starts looking for a special method called main, and then keeps running until the code in main is finished
Under what conditions can a local class access variables in the enclosing scope?
In addition, a local class has access to local variables. However, a local class can only access local variables that are declared final. When a local class accesses a local variable or parameter of the enclosing block, it captures that variable or parameter.
public class ScopeRules //Line 1 { static final double rate = 10.50; static int z; static double t; public static void main(String[]args) //Line 7 { int num; double x, z; char ch; // main block... } public static void one(int f, char g) //Line 15 { // block one... } public static int w; //Line 20 public static void two(int one, int i) //Line 22 { char ch; int a; //Line 25 //block three { int x = 12; //Line 29 //... }//end block three // block two... //Line 32 } } Where is identifier x (block three's local variable) visible? 1. In two and block three 2. In block three and main 3. In block three only 4. In one and block three
In block three only
Classpath
Indicates where you can find another self-written classes
A(n) _ loop occurs when a condition in a while statement never becomes false.
Infinite
Access Modifiers
Information hiding is achieved through the use of access modifiers, which are keywords that are used to augment the visibility of various constructs. Public Default (no modifier) Protected Private
Binary Numbers
Information is stored in memory in digital form using the binary number system A single binary digit (0 or 1) is called a bit A single bit can represent two possible states, like a light bulb that is either on (1) or off (0) Permutations of bits are used to store values Devices that store and move information are cheaper and more reliable if they have to represent only two states
What is Inheritance?
Inheritance is a mechanism in which one object acquires all the properties and behaviour of another object of another class. It represents IS-A relationship. It is used for Code Resusability and Method Overriding.
git init
Initialise an empty repository
Inner & Anonymous Classes
Inner classes are defined within the context of another class. package domain; public class Book extends LibraryItem implements AuthorableItem, PrintedMaterial { BookReader reader = new BookReader(); // .rest of Book definition public String nextLine() { return reader.readNextLine(); } // Note that this is not a "public" class- //only an instance of Book can access the BookReader class BookReader { public BookReader() { } public String readNextLine() { // Implementation of this method. } } // BookReader } // Book Anonymous classes are also inner classes that are defined within the context of another class, but these classes do not have a name, hence the name anonymous. Anonymous inner classes are often used as event handlers in the implementation of graphical user interfaces.
Each class declares Instance Variables and Methods (Unique Values for the Objects in the Class)
Instance variables: descriptive characteristics or states of the object Ex. students are an instance variable of a class Methods: behaviors of the object (the actual doing thing of each instance variable) Ex. doing homework or taking exams are the methods of the instance variable "student"

In the following list, which statement is not true regarding Java as a programming language? 1) It is a relatively recent language, having been introduced in 1995 2) It is a language whose programs do not require translating into machine language before they are executed 3) It is an object-oriented programming language 4) It is a language that embraces the idea of writing programs to be executed using the World Wide Web 5) all of these are true
It is a language whose programs do not require translating into machine language before they are executed
Why we cannot override static method?
It is because the static method is the part of class and it is bound with class whereas instance method is bound with object and static gets memory in class area and instance gets memory in heap.
String Indexes
It is occasionally helpful to refer to a particular character within a string This can be done by specifying the character's numeric index The index begins at zero in each string In the string "Hello" H is at the index 0 and o is at the index 4
Scanner Class
It is often useful to design interactive programs that read input data from the user The Scanner class provides convenient methods for reading input values of various types A scanner object can be set up to read input values from various sources including the user typing values on the keyboard The following line creates a Scanner object that reads from the keyboard: Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); Once created, the Scanner object can be used to invoke various input methods, such as: String answer = scan.nextLine(); The nextLine method reads all of the input until the end of the line is found, and return it as one String
What b before calling method m1() that returns an int? int b = m1();
It is one

It is the package that is created by default if a class is not put in a package.
What does the method .finalize do from the class object?
It is used to make something ready for garbage collection.
What is overriding?
It is when a subclass uses the same name and same signature as a method in the parent class.
When instantiating a new instance of a class and you use final what does this mean?
It means you cannot allocate a new space in memory for that instance.
What does the method .clone do from the class object?
It throws an exception which must be caught.
What happens if their is no break in a switch statement?
It will continue down the case statements until a break is found.
Package
Items of related functionality, each item in the package has a unique name. Thus, a package is a namespace, where a namespace is a collection of uniquely named items. One of main packages is "java", does not contain any data types, it's used to aggregate other packages that are nested within it. java.applet java.awt java.beans java.io java.util nested package example: java.util.concurrent.locks other nested packages do contain type definitions: - java.util contains the Date class (and other classes) - java.util.concurrent contains the Semaphore class (and other classes) - java.util.concurrent.locks contains the LockSupport (and other classes)

Java virtual machine
String class
Java's String class is used to represent a sequence (i.e., string) of characters. A simplified class diagram of String is shown below: STRING count : int value : char[] String() String(orig:String) length : int charAt(index:int) : char concat(st : String) : String equals(obj : String) : boolean indexOf(str : String) : int isEmpty() : boolean lastIndexOf(str : String) : int length() : int replace(oldChar : char , newChar : char) : String substring(beginIndex : int, endIndex : int) : String toLowerCase() : String toUpperCase() : String toString : String * Extends class Object and thus inherits Object's properties and behavior, including method equals(Object); * Encapsulates private fields (e.g., count and value), prevents direct access to these fields by other objects; indirect access is provided through public methods; e.g., the method length() provides access to the count field; * Has two overloaded constructors, String() and String(String s). The first constructor takes no parameters, and the second takes a String object that is copied into the new String object; * Overrides methods toString() and equals() inherited from class Object by providing its own implementations; * Exhibits polymorphism (one interface, multiple behaviors) with methods toString() and equals();
Who will do the Java compiling?
Javac is the complier, not Eclipse. Eclipse is the software that runs javac. The Java virtual machine (the executable response) is called java For one class... what is the mechanism that allows us to run it? Answer: we are using an existing object
What is JIT compiler?
Just-In-Time(JIT) compiler:It is used to improve the performance. JIT compiles parts of the byte code that have similar functionality at the same time, and hence reduces the amount of time needed for compilation.Here the term "compiler" refers to a translator from the instruction set of a Java virtual machine (JVM) to the instruction set of a specific CPU.

Difference between method Overloading and Overriding.
Method Overloading Method Overriding 1) Method overloading increases the readability of the program. Method overriding provides the specific implementation of the method that is already provided by its super class. 2) method overlaoding is occurs within the class. Method overriding occurs in two classes that have IS-A relationship. 3) In this case, parameter must be different. In this case, parameter must be same.
polymorphism
Method overloading is an example of polymorphism. polymorphism can be defined as "one interface with multiple behaviors." Another form of polymorphism is method overriding, which is an example of dynamic binding. Method overriding is discussed later in this topic.
Define the keyword "return"
Method that returns.
What are the two things classes have?
Methods and Variables.
Mocking
Mocks objects that exist outside the program. Use for TDD.
Abstract Data Types
Model of a data structure e.g. Stack(). Describes the behaviour of the data type.
formatting
Modifying the appearance of text for display purposes.
Thread communication

No
If a class has a private constructor can their be an instance of that class(object) outside of the class?
No
Can a class be protected(Given it is not an inner class)?
No - Inner classes can be private or protected regular classes cannot.
Is it legal to have the same method with the same parameters but a different return type?
No - The parameters have to be different.
Can you override Strings methods if yes why?
No because String is a final class.
Will this compile and if not why? Short ss = new Short(9);
No, 9 is automatically an int and their is no int constructor for short.
Is constructor inherited?
No, constructor is not inherited.
Is it possible for an interface to be an object type in a polymorphic object?
No, interfaces can't be instantiated.
Can local variables use the static modifier?
No, local variables can only use the final modifier.
Can you call a non static method in main without using an instance of the class?
No, main is static and therefore cannot call non static variables or methods.
Are primitive data types considered objects in Java?
No, primitive types are the only elements of the Java language that are not modeled as objects.
Can local variables use access modifiers?
No, since local variables are local they will not be seen outside of the class.
Is it legal for a non-static method to be called in a static one?
No, static methods and variables cannot be called in non static methods and vice versa.
Can you statically import a package?
No, you can only import classes statically.
Does Java have multiple inheritance?*
No. Instead deal with interfaces.

What is difference between object oriented programming language and object based programming language?
Object based programming languages follow all the features of OOPs except Inheritance. Examples of object based programming languages are JavaScript, VBScript etc.
Which class is the superclass for every class.
Object class.
Object class
Object is base class of all Java classes. All Java classes extend (inherit) class Object either directly or indirectly. these 2 definitions are exactly the same: public class Book {...} public class Book extends Object {...}
Assignment Operators
Often we perform an operation on a variable, and then store the result back into that variable Java provides assignment operators to simplify that process For example, the statement num += count; is equivalent to num = num + count; Other assignment operators: -=, *=, /=, %=
Inheritance
One class can be used to derive another via inheritance Classes can be organized into hierarchies
Inheritance
One of the 3 main pinnacles of object-oriented programming (the others being encapsulation and polymorphism). Inheritance is a means by which a class extends another class, it acquires the properties and behavior of the class that's being extended. Sometimes called generalization/specialization, also called an "is a" relationship. For example, the class declarations of Book, Audio, and Periodical are shown below: package domain; public class Book extends LibraryItem { // properties and behavior of Book go here } package domain; public class Audio extends LibraryItem { // properties and behavior of Audio go here } package domain; public class Periodical extends LibraryItem { // properties and behavior of Periodical go here } class can only extend one other class -- cannot extend multiple classes
Breakpoint
One reason to set a _____ is to be able to examine the values of variables at that point in the application's execution.
Consider the following class definition. public class Rectangle { private double length; private double width; private double area; private double perimeter; public Rectangle() { length = 0; width = 0; } public Rectangle(double l, double w) { length = l; width = w; } public void set(double l, double w) { length = l; width = w; } public void print() { System.out.println(length + " " + width); } public double area() { return length * width; } public double perimeter() { return 2 * length + 2 * width; } } Suppose that you have the following declaration.

relational operators
Operators < (less than), > (greater than), <= (less than or equal to) and >= (greater than or equal to) that compare two values.
equality operators
Operators == (is equal to) and != (is not equal to) that compare two values.
Another Example
Output A quote by Abraham Lincoln: Whatever you are, be a good one.
Overriding*
Overriding and overloading support polymorphism. - Abstract class (or concrete class) implement method - subclass with same signature override superclass method. - JVM begins at bottom of type hierarchy and searches up until match found to determine which method to run. - within subclass can call superclass method with super.method()
FlowLayout
Place components in the window from left to right, top to bottom.
Nesting
Placing an if...else statement inside another one is an example of ____ if-else statements.
Why Java does not support pointers?
Pointer is a variable that refers to the memory address. They are not used in java because they are unsafe(unsecured) and complex to understand.
Head pointer (GIT)
Points to the current branch.
PreparedStatement (JDBC)
Precompiled SQL statements at object creation time rather than execution time. - Use ? to indicate parameters for the statement and fill in later. public static final String SELECT_SQL = "SELECT * FROM names ORDER BY age"; select = connection.prepareStatement(SELECT_SQL); ResultSet rs = select.executeQuery(); insert.setString(1, "Zaphod Beeblebrox"); insert.setInt(2, 26); insert.executeUpdate(); // So 1 is names and 2 is age.
Declare the data type of a variable.
Primitive types are used to declare the data types of variables where a variable is a named memory location. datatype variableName = initialvalue; The following statements illustrate the use of Java's eight primitive data types in variable declarations: char c = 'a'; Boolean succeeded = false; byte age = 0; short index = 0; int ssn = 0; long length = 0; float pi = 3.14159f; double d = 0.0; floating point literals are defaulted to a "double" data type. To compile certain types, such as float, add a suffix to the literal: float pi = 3.14159f;
OO definitions
Programming paradigm that views programs as cooperating objects, rather than sequences of procedures Focuses on design of abstract data types, which define possible states and operations on variables of that type
Promotion Conversion
Promotion happens automatically when operators in expressions convert their operands Example: int count = 12; double sum = 490.27; double result = sum / count; The value of count is converted to a floating point value to perform the division calculation
What is a well defined class?
Public interface (clearly defined responsibility --single-responsibility principle--Cohesion: the defined responsibilities of the class are meaningful - they make sense -- Delegation: if a task falls outside the responsibility of that class, the task is delegated to another class) Private Implementation (Encapsulation: data-hiding - fields are private (only accessed by getters and setters) and methods not a part of the user interface are private)
What does array.asList do?
Puts an array as an array list.
wait() (Thread Communication)
Puts current thread into blocked state. - can only call from method that has a lock (is synchronized) - Releases lock - Either waits specified time or until notified by another thread. - Best to put in while loop. - useful when all threads
Consider the partially-filled array named a. What does the following loop do? (cin is a Scanner object) int[] a = {1, 3, 7, 0, 0, 0}; int size = 3, capacity = 6; int value = cin.nextInt(); while (size < capacity && value > 0) { a[size] = value; } 1. Reads up to 3 values and places them in the array in the unused space. 2. Reads one value and places it in the remaining first unused space endlessly. 3. Reads up to 3 values and inserts them in the array in the correct position. 4. Crashes at runtime because it tries to write beyond the array.
Reads one value and places it in the remaining first unused space endlessly.

Reads up to 3 values and places them in the array in the unused space.
CallableStatement (JDBC)
Relies on a stored procedure. Can contain ? placeholders. public static final String INSERT_SQL = "call addName(?, ?)"; insert = connection.prepareCall(INSERT_SQL); ResultSet rs = select.executeQuery(); insert.setString(1, "Zaphod Beeblebrox"); insert.setInt(2, 26); insert.executeUpdate();
What does the following loop do? int[] a = {1, 3, 7, 0, 0, 0}; int size = 3, capacity = 6, pos = 0; a[pos] = a[size - 1]; size--;
Removes the 1 from the array, replacing it with the 7. Array now unordered.

Return type
executeQuery (SQL command)
Returns ResultSet. Use for SELECT. ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM names")
What does the method .compareTo do from the class String?
Returns a integer when comparing to strings. Ex: String s = new String("sam"); String s1 = new String("Sam"); s.compareTo(s1); ------- Returns 32 because S and s are 32 unicode codes away.
execute (SQL command)
Returns boolean use for RENAME, DROP TABLE etc. st.execute("DROP TABLE names");

Scope refers to the lifetime and accessibility of a variable. How large the scope is depends on where a variable is declared. For example, if a variable is declared at the top of a class then it will accessible to all of the class methods. If it's declared in a method then it can only be used in that method.

________ are instructions to the computer.
Software Programs
return
Some methods, when called, __ a value to the statement in the application that called the method. The returned value can then be used in that statement.
Data Conversion
Sometimes it is convenient to covert data from one type to another For example in a particular situation we may want to treat an integer as a floating point value These conversions do not change the type of a variable or the value that's stored in it - they only convert a value as part of a computation Widening conversions are safest because they tend to go from a small data type to a larger one (such as a short to an int) Narrowing conversions can lose information because they tend to go from a large data type to a smaller one (such as an int to a short) In Java, data conversions can occur in three ways: -assignment conversion -promotion -casting
White Space
Spaces, new lines, and tabs are called white space White space is used to separate words and symbols in a program Extra white space is ignored by the computer A valid Java program can be formatted many ways Programs should be formatted to enhance readability, using consistent indentation

public static String exampleMethod(int n, char ch) Based on the method heading above, what is the return type of the value returned? 1. char 2. String 3. int 4. Nothing will be returned
String
Some String Methods
String name1 = new String("Steve Jobs"); int numChars = name1.length(); char c = name1.charAt(2); String name2 = name1.replace('e', 'x'); String name3 = name1.substring(1, 7); String name5 = name1.toLowerCase();
Syntax to create a String
String s1 = new String("Hello World"); Can be created and initialized without using new: String s2 = "Hello World"; Can be concatenated with the + operator: String s3 = "Hello " + "World"; Operator == compares object references (and not the object's state), and since s1, s2 and s3 reference different String objects, == returns false: (s1 == s2); // returns false (s2 == s3); // returns false (s1 == s3); // returns false String's implementation of equals(Object) examines the values of the strings, this is true: s1.equals(s2); s2.equals(s3); s1.equals(s3); Strings objects created with the "new" operator that have the same value (the same string of characters) are always "equals()" to each other, but since they are different objects, they are never "==" to each other. One last subtle point: strings created using the double quote syntax with the same value without the new operator are always = = to each other. String s4 = "Hello World"; String s5 = "Hello World"; (s4 == s5); // returns true

*decision*
The *diamond-shaped* symbol in a UML activity diagram that indicates a ____ is to be made.
The + Operator
The + operator is also used for arithmetic addition The function that it performs depends on the type of the information on which it operates If both operands are strings, or if one is a string and one is a number, it performs string concatenation If both operands are numeric, then it adds them The + operator is evaluated left to right, but parentheses can be used to force the order If both of its operands are strings, or if one is a string and one is a number, it performs string concatenation. But if both operands are numeric, it performs addition.

What does a finally block do?
The finally block always executes when the try block exits. This ensures that the finally block is executed even if an unexpected exception occurs. But finally is useful for more than just exception handling — it allows the programmer to avoid having cleanup code accidentally bypassed by a return, continue, or break. Putting cleanup code in a finally block is always a good practice, even when no exceptions are anticipated.

In OOP program, unit of program is object, which is nothing but combination of data and code. b) In procedural program, data is exposed to the whole program whereas in OOP program, it is accessible with in the object and which in turn assures the security of the code.
Polymorphism
ability of an object to take many forms
Abstract Classes & Interfaces
abstract class - class that is never intended to be instantiated as an object. Its purpose is to serve as a base class that provides a set of methods that together form an API. classes that inherit the abstract class can override its base behavior as necessary. Because the derived classes can be instantiated, they are referred to as concrete classes. This combination of an abstract base class and one or more concrete derived classes is widely used in industry and is known as the "Template" design pattern. class is identified as being abstract by pre-pending the keyword "abstract" to the class definition. package domain; public abstract class LibraryItem { } abstract keyword prohibits a LibraryItem from being instantiated with the "new" keyword. When a class is denoted as abstract, it typically means that one or more of its methods are also abstract, which implies they have no implementation. method is declared to be abstract by using the "abstract" keyword: public abstract boolean validate(); there's no {...} following the signature; rather, a semicolon is present. method must not have an implementation following its signature, the enclosing class must be declared to be abstract. implementation of validate() in one of the concrete derived classes: Book. package domain; public class Book extends LibrarayItem { public boolean validate() { if (id <= 0) return false; if (title == null || title.equals("")) return false; if (author == null || author.equals("")) return false; if (pages <= 0) return false; return true; } } another technique for declaring "abstract" interfaces by way of the "interface" keyword: package domain; public interface IValidator { public boolean validate(); } interface construct is used to capture zero or more method signatures without specifying their implementation details. methods enclosed within an interface definition must be "abstract" in the sense that they must not provide an implementation (i.e., {...}), but the abstract keyword is not necessary. interfaces are implemented in classes with the "implements" keyword. User and Login are not defined as abstract since implementations are provided for the validate() method. package domain; public abstract class LibraryItem implements IValidator { public abstract boolean validate(); } uniform interface for validating objects. package domain; public class User implements IValidator { public boolean validate() { } } package domain; public class Login implements IValidator { public boolean validate() { } } while Java does not support multiple class inheritance , it does support the implementation of multiple interfaces in a single class. To serialize Login objects across a secure network Login class needs to implement the Serializable interface. package domain; public class Login implements IValidator, Serializable {...} Serializable does not contain any methods, known as a Marker Interface. Marker interfaces, used to "mark" classes (and hence their objects) as "one of those," but without any additional methods. In summary, interface constructs are used to separate interface abstractions from implementation details.

all of these are legal except for doublefoo(0.1, 0.2);
Associations
allow classes (and their objects) to form relationships with one another. These relationships facilitate object collaboration. two types of associations: "Has a" relationships: Abstracts/models the concept of containment (e.g., a Customer has an Account; or in other words, the Customer contains an Account). "Uses a" relationships: Abstracts/models the concept of using (e.g., a Workflow manager uses various services to accomplish a task [to get some work done]). "has a" relationship with another class if it has a data member of that particular type. package domain; public class User { private Account account = new Account(); } abstracting a Login class that contains the user's credentials (username, password) and associating it with the User by declaring Login data member: package domain; public class User { private Login login = new Login(); private Account account = new Account(); } Once you declare a data member as an object type, you have essentially created a "has a" relationship between the two objects. "uses a" relationship, only difference between a "has a" and "uses a" relationship is where the declaration is made. "uses a" relationships are defined within method declarations (and not as data members of the enclosing class). So for instance, suppose a particular method needs to use a Date object to timestamp a message: package domain; public class Logger { public generateLogMessage(String message) { Date date = new Date(); } } The above method instantiates a Date object locally within the scope of the method, not as a data member (at the class/object level). "uses a" relationship. So we can summarize "has a" and "uses a" relationships as follows: "Has a" relationships are realized as object declarations located at the class level (i.e., as data members). "Uses a" relationships are realized as object declarations located within the scope of a method.

Iterable Interface
base interface for all interfaces of the Java collection framework (excluding Map). Iterable defines exactly one method, namely: Iterator iterator(); This allows you to get an Iterator for iterating over the elements of a collection. Since all other collection interfaces extend Iterable (either directly or indirectly), they all inherit the above method; that is, they all provide an iterator for iterating over their elements. For example, the Collection interface directly extends Iterable, and hence, if you have a Collection, you can get an iterator to iterate over its elements: Collection<Book> coll = getOverdueBooks(); Iterator<Book> iter = coll.iterator(); while (iter.hasNext()) { Book book = iter.next(); } Because the need to iterate over all items in a collection is a common practice, the method iterator() is placed in the base interface Iterable, and then through inheritance, it's made available to all collections that extend Collection (because Collection extends Iterable). The extension of Iterable by Collection (and then List, Set, and Queue) is known as interface inheritance.

Declaring a class to a package
class is declared to belong to a package by including a package statement at the beginning of the source file, it must be the first statement in the file: package mypackage; public class MyClass { ... } If package is not declared, the class will belong to the "default package". Not recommended for larger programs.
abstact base class
class that can not be initialized but has class inhert from it
Application defined classes
classes that you create for your specific application Login -username : String -password : String +setUsername : (username : String) +getUsername () : String +setPassword : (password : String) +getPassword () : String +validate() : boolean +equals(Login Login) : boolean two private data members: username and password; the minus sign means the properties are hidden in the class, cannot access them outside of class. When a class does not explicitly provide a constructor, Java implicitly provides a default constructor (one that takes no arguments). The default constructor is available for use even though it's not shown.
What is a constructor
constructors always have the same name as the class name. The constructor for the Date class is called Date.. to construct a Date object, you combine the constructor with the "new" operator as follows: new Date() -this expression constructs a new object.

element = a.get(0);
_______________—the specification of attributes and behavior as a single entity—allows us to build on our understanding of the natural world as we create software.
encapsulation
What does encapsulation mean?
encapsulation is a term that refers to the separation of the public interface and private implementation of an object - the objects inner implementation should be hidden from the user. hide data by using the private keyword on fields and methods that users do not need to know about

delegation based event model
event handling implemented by two types of objects: event source and event listener objects
Exception Handling
events (e.g., errors) that disrupt the normal flow of execution. Examples of software exceptions: - Dividing by zero. - Using an unassigned object reference (that points to null) to invoke a method. - Failure to open/read/write/close a file. - Failure to open/read/write/close a socket connection. - Database errors. when a program executes, described as a call stack, ordered list of the active methods called up to the current point in time. stack starts with the main entry point and documents the active methods that are currently under call. once an exception occurs, it must be handled, or the program aborts. the JVM marches through the call stack looking for the nearest handler for the exception. If one is found, control is transferred. Otherwise, the program terminates.
exception catcher
exception thrower that includes a matching catch block for the thrown exception
Defining Exceptions
exceptions are classes that extend the class Exception either directly or indirectly. For example, just a few of the many exceptions defined by the Java API. public class ClassNotFoundException extends Exception {...} public class IOException extends Exception {...} public class NullPointerException extends Exception {...} public class NumberFormatException extends Exception {...} The Exception class, most of its behavior is inherited from a base class named Throwable, which defines a message (String) property and a corresponding accessor, getMessage(). defining a custom exception that denotes a failed login: public class LoginFailedException extends Exception { public LoginFailedException() { super(); } public LoginFailedException(String msg) { super(msg); } } when defining your own exceptions, provide at least two constructors, default constructor and a constructor that takes a message string as a parameter. In both cases, the base constructor of Exception is invoked using the keyword super.

Collection Interface
general abstraction for a collection of objects. It provides a handful of methods that operate over all interfaces that extend Collection. <<interface>> Collection +add(E) : boolean +addAll(Collection) : boolean +clear() : void +contains(Object) : boolean +containAll(Collection) : boolean +isEmpty() : boolean +remove(Object) : boolean +size() : int Java API does not provide any direct class implementations of interface Collection. Instead, implementations are provided for interfaces that extend Collection, namely, List, Set, and Queue. Nevertheless, the Collection interface is often used to pass collections around since it represents the base behavior of all collections. We'll now take a look at List, Set, and Queue and see how they might be used in our Library application.
Accessor instance method names typically begin with the word "____" or the word "____" depending on the return type of the method. 1. set, is 2. get, can 3. set, get 0% 4. get, is

Which of the following reserved words in Java is used to create an instance of a class? 1) class 2) public 3) public or private, either could be used 4) import 5) new
new
Keyword: new
new - creates Class objects and a constructor as shown below: Book book1 = new Book(); Book book2 = new Book("SomeTitle", "SomeAuthor", false); Constructors are invoked with the "new" keyword as shown below: Book book1 = new Book(); Book book2 = new Book(1); Book book3 = new Book(1, "Gone with the Wind", "Margaret Mitchell"); Using a constructor that allows you to initialize the object with passed-in parameters. Using the default constructor, followed by the invocation of set(...) methods.
New
new is a Java reserved word that triggers all kinds of actions. goes back to the heap (free memory space), reserves a chunk of the memory for the real value (address) Java actually invokes a special method called constructor, provided by programmer, which does the proper initialization new is the only thing that produces a reference type
Thread Life Cycle
new process > WAITING > RUNNING > BLOCKED - waiting starts and runs or times out - runs unless blocked until unblocked or until complete
iterator
object that enables steping through a container
Method overloading
occurs when a class contains more than one method with the same name. Within a class, methods can have the same name if there's difference: The number of parameters. And/or the type parameters. And/or order of parameters. The determination of which overloaded method to invoke is a compile-time decision; hence, it is sometimes referred to as static binding. Library library = new Library(); Book book = new Book(); library.add(book); User user = new User(); library.add(user); Notice that the statement library.add (book) is clearly targeting the add (Book) method because of the parameter data type, Book. Similarly, the statement library.add(user) is clearly targeting the add(User) method because of the parameter data type, User. Since these decisions can be determined at compile time, the binding is said to be static.
event
occurs when the user interacts with a GUI object
boolean operator
operator that can be applied to boolean values: &&, ||, !
Service Threads
or daemon threads - Contain never ending loop - Receive and handle service requests - Terminates only when program terminates. So detects when all non-daemons finished then kills daemons and programs terminate.

the reserved words
public static void class
What must the access modifier of a method that is implementing an interface be?
public - since all interface methods are automatically public methods that override it have to have the same or higher visibility rank.
Constructor syntax
public class Book { // properties private String title = null; private String author = null; private boolean isCheckedout = false; // constructors public Book() { } public Book(String title, String author, boolean isCheckedout) { this.title = title; this.author = author; this.isCheckedout = isCheckedout; } } Two constructors: Book(), which is known as the default constructor Book(String title, String author, boolean isCheckedout) Default constructor - typically used to initialize properties to their "null" values, unless it is done when they are declared, then there is no need to have the first constructor. The 2nd constructor above, takes the passed parameters and assigns them to the class's properties (i.e., data members) using the keyword "this".
Basic definition of class for Book (library program)
public class Book { // properties private String title = null; private String author = null; private boolean isCheckedOut = false; // behavior public void checkOut () { isCheckedOut = true; } public void checkIn () { isCheckedOut = false; } }
Example of Event Listener and Event Handler
public class ButtonListener implements ActionListener { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { System.out.println(e); } } // Listens for button action, if action occurs then will print the action.
Syntax to define a class
public class SomeClassName { // class properties and behaviors (methods) go here } keyword "public" is an access modifier, keyword "class" identifies the construct (i.e., the item) as a class definition, class name may contain alpha numeric characters, underscore, and $ (last two are rarely used). By convention, class names always start with an upper case letter, using CamelCase if there are more than one word.
Class lock (synchronization)
public static synchronized void displayMessage(JumbledMessage jm) throws InterruptedException { for (int i = 0; i < jm.message.length(); i++) { System.out.print(jm.message.charAt(i)); Thread.currentThread().sleep(50); } System.out.println();}
Visibility modifiers include
public, private, protected
List all the access modifiers in order from most visible to least?

relationships
extraction phase
remove the root node to the output list then reconstruction step is executed
Set Interface
represents a collection of objects with no duplicates. By default, duplicates are identified by their equals(Object) method whose default behavior is defined in the root class Object. In other words, if equals(Object) is not overridden, object references will be used to determine if list entries are equal. If this behavior is not desired, equals(Object) needs to be overridden in the class for which objects are added to the set. A portion of the Set API is shown below. <<interface>> set +add(E) : boolean +addAll(Collection) : boolean +clear() : void +contains(Object) : boolean +containAll(Collection) : boolean +isEmpty() : boolean +remove(Object) : boolean +size() : int suppose the Library system has a business rule that prevents users from checking out more than one copy of a given book. During the checkout process, the user's books could be added to a Set collection where duplicate books are not added to the set. private Set booksCheckedOut = new HashSet(); public boolean checkout(Book book) { return booksCheckedOut.add(book); } The above method returns true if the book is not already in the set; otherwise, it returns false. If false is returned, the user would be notified that the duplicate book could not be checked out. Implementations of the Set interface include HashSet and TreeSet. The order of elements in a Set depends on the underlying implementation, and thus, will vary across implementations. If order is important, the interface SortedList should be used.
Queue Interface
represents an ordered collection based on some known order: e.g., first in first out (FIFO), last in first out (LIFO, a.k.a. a stack), priority. A subset of the Queue API is shown below (not including the methods inherited from interface Collection). <<interface>> Queue +element() : E +offer(E) : boolean +peek() : E +poll() : E +remove() : E order of the queue is determined by the implementing class. Classes that implement the Queue interface include LinkedList and PriorityQueue. As an example, suppose the Library system solicits user suggestions, and these suggestions need to be processed in a FIFO basis. private Queue suggestions = new LinkedList(); public void addSuggestion(Suggestion suggestion) { suggestions.add(suggestion); } The above method adds the new Suggestion to the Queue. Because the implementing class is a LinkedList, each suggestion is added to the end of the queue.
List Interface
represents an ordered sequence of objects. That is, elements are added to the list in a particular order, and the list maintains that order. suppose we have a List, booksCheckedIn, which contains all the books that are checked-in on a given day. Then, if we add books to the list as they are checked-in, the list will maintain the order in which they were checked-in. private List booksCheckedIn = new ArrayList(); public void checkin(Book book) { booksCheckedIn.add(book); } Implementations of the List interface include ArrayList, LinkedList, Stack, and Vector. List collections do not check for duplicate entries, so if an object is added multiple times, it will appear in the list multiple times (i.e., have multiple entries). Therefore, if it's important for a given object to appear only once in the collection, the Set interface should be used as explained below.
Declaring Exceptions
required that if a method throws an exception without catching it, the exception must be declared in the method signature to notify users. method that authenticates logins, throws an exception named LoginFailedException without catching it: public bool authenticate(Login login) throws LoginFailedException {...} Any exception that occurs in a method must either be handled (caught) by that method or be declared in its signature as "throws" (see above). method throws (and does not handle) multiple exception types, instead of listing all the exceptions in the method signature, the base exception class Exception can be listed: public bool authenticate(Login login) throws Exception {...} declaration covers all possible exception types, and thus prevents you from having to list the individual exceptions when multiple exceptions can be thrown.
design
requirements specification turned into a detailed design of the program; result is a set of classes that fulfill the requirements
Bounded generic types
restrict the actual type parameter allowed and can be specified by saying which class the allowed types extend. - effect = permits subtypes of the class. can have: - object of subtype B where object of its supertype A is expected.
Syntax to define a method (behavior (function in C++))
returntype methodName(optional_list_of_arguments) { ...} Names of properties (variables) and methods should start with a lower case letter, using camelCase if multiple words.

scope is the concept of the access granted to a variable depending on where it is seen. class level variables can be 'seen' or accessed anywhere within their given class whereas variables declared in the body of a method cannot be accessed from other methods in the same class.
notify() (Thread Communication)
sends wake up call to a single blocked thread. Cannot specify which thread to wake.
notifyAll() (Thread Communication)
sends wake up call to all blocked threads - if called when thread does not have lock = Illegal MonitorStateExpectation
method
sequence of instructions that a class or an object follows to perform a task
loop
sequence of instructions that is executed repeatedly
SASD
sequential access storage device does not require that all units of data be identifiable via unique addresses; to find the data, we must search sequentially, asking "Is this what I'm looking for?"
linear search
sequential search; n/2 comparisons; array is searched from the first position to the last position
initialize

insertion sort
sort in which we assumed preceding records have been sorted, and the number is simply inserted into its proper place
Class Constructors
special methods that are called when a class is created. Must have the same name as the enclosing class, and are declared with no return value (the implied return type of the constructor is the enclosing class type). public Book() {...} public Book(int id) {...} public Book(int id, String title) {...} public Book(int id, String title, String author) {...} public Book(int id, String title, String author, int pages) {...} Constructors can be overloaded. Once you define at least one constructor (whether default or not), the implicit, hidden default constructor is not provided for you. used to initialize the data members of the newly created object either by assigning default values or by using the passed-in parameters. Constructors can also invoke other constructors either in the same class or in a base class. public Book(int id) { super(id); } Above uses "super" keyword to invoke a constructor in the base class LibraryItem. Constructors are invoked with the "new" keyword
I/O controller
special-purpose computer whose responsibility is to handle the details of input/output and to compensate for any speed differences between I/O devices and other parts of the computer
In the type-safe version of the ArrayList class, you specify the type of each element by: 1.

sum += number; sum = sum + number;
Maps
supports the ability to add and retrieve items from a collection using a key value pair. The key (K) is the lookup identifier and the value (V) is the item being looked up. The methods for inserting/retrieving items in/out of the Map are put(...) and get(...). General accounts - For general public use. Business accounts - For commercial organizations. Nonprofit accounts - For nonprofit organizations. The above account types can be abstracted as a Java enum (enumerator): enum AccountType {general, business, nonprofit}; Each user is allowed to have one account of each type. Accounts for a given user could be contained in a Map data structure where the key for each account is one of the above enum values (general, business, or nonprofit) as shown below: Account generalAccount = new Account(); Account businessAccount = new Account(); Account nonprofitAccount = new Account(); //... Map<AccountType, Account> accountsMap = new HashMap<AccountType, Account>(); accountMap.put(AccountType.general, generalAccount); accountMap.put(AccountType.business , businessAccount); accountMap.put(AccountType.nonprofit , nonprofitAccount); Retrieval of the accounts from the map is then achieved with the key: Account generalAccount = accountMap.get(AccountType.general); Account businessAccount = accountMap.get(AccountType.business); Account nonprofitAccount = accountMap.get(AccountType.nonprofit); In summary, the key is used to place values in the map and also to retrieve values from the same map. advantage, code readily accommodates additional account types. simply add to the enum type: enum AccountType {general, business, nonprofit, government, education};

the descendant of a superclass
What does it mean to be loosely coupled?
the implementation of one class is not dependent on that of another - well defined classes with only one responsibility are easier to test and are not dependent on the implementations of other classes - by programming to the behavior of interfaces, the implementation behind the interface is irrelevant as any class that implements that interface can interact with those that are programmed to the behavior of the interface

What is composition? How is it used?
the way in which you model objects that contain other objects . To use composition in Java, you use instance variables of one object to hold references to other objects
Keyword: this
this - used to disambiguate the overloaded use of variable names; in particular, "this" can be used to reference a data member (defined in the class) when that name is identical to a passed parameter. assigns the input parameter, title, to the data member, title: private String title = ""; public void setTitle(String title) { this.title = title; } inside the method setTitle(String title), the passed parameter, title, hides the data member, title, defined in the class. To access to the title data member, the keyword "this" is used to indicate a data member of the object is being referenced (and not a local variable inside the method).
Variable Assignment
to assign a value (using the assignment operator - " = ") to a variable name
Describe how to work with objects and variables
to work with objects, you first construct them and specify their initial state. Then you apply the methods to objects

Method Overriding
when a method in a base class is repeated (redefined) in a derived class signature of both methods must match identically override its behavior in the LibraryItem to output the item's id and title as shown below: public class LibraryItem { ... public String toString() { return "LibraryItem, id=" + id + ", title: " + title; } } can invoke toString() to get a meaningful description of the object. Also true if the object is a Book, Audio, or Periodical because they inherit LibraryItem. Object obj = new Book(1, "Catch-22", "Joseph Heller", 485); String s = obj.toString(); actual instance is a Book and Book "is a" LibraryItem which overrides toString(), the LibraryItem's toString() method is called. Example of polymorphic dynamic binding; dynamic because it's not known until runtime which toString() method is invoked; it depends on whether the method is overridden, and if so, where. Can override toString in each of the more specialized classes: Book, Audio, and Periodical: public class Book extends LibraryItem { public String toString() { return super.toString() + ", Author, =" + author; } } super.toString() in the above return statement; its purpose is to invoke the toString() method in the base class LibraryItem. So the Book's overridden toString() method calls the LibraryItem's toString() method and then appends to it the author information that's contained in the Book. This time, since Book has overridden toString(), which overrides LibraryItem.toString(), which overrides Object.toString(), it's Book.toString() that gets called, and not the ones declared in Object or LibraryItem: Object obj = new Book(1, "Catch-22", "Joseph Heller"); String s = obj.toString(); another example of method overriding, consider the method equals(Object obj) defined by the Object class. to compare the state of two objects, overriding equals(Object obj) as shown below for LibraryItem: public class LibraryItem { public boolean equals(Object obj) { if (this == obj) return true; if ( ! (obj instanceof LibraryItem)) return false; LibraryItem item = (LibraryItem)obj; if ( this.id != item.id ) return false; if ( ! this.title.equals(item.title)) return false; return true; } } @override annotation - applied to methods that are intended to override behavior defined in a base class. annotation forces the compiler to check that the annotated method truly overrides a base class method. package domain; public class LibraryItem { @Override public String equals(Object obj) { ... } @Override public String toString() { ... } }
Importing packages
when classes are in defined in different packages. In order for ClassA, in packageA, to have visibility to ClassB, in packageB, one of three things must happen; either: - the fully qualified name of ClassB must be used, - fully qualified name of ClassB be must be imported with an import statement, - entire contents of packageB must be imported with an import statement. first technique is to use the FQN of the class. The FQN of ClassB is packageb.ClassB. to declare: package packagea; public class ClassA { packageb.ClassB b = new packageb.ClassB(); } better technique is to use an "import" statement: package packagea; import packageb.ClassB; public class A { ClassB b = new ClassB(); } import statements must appear after the package statement, and before the data type (class, interface) definition more efficient technique is to import all the data types from a given package using the * notation: import packageb.*; if multiple packages have classes with the same name, use long way (FQN) of importing package: package1.ClassXYZ xyz = new package1.ClassXYZ()

How do servlets handle multiple simultaneous requests?
- The server has multiple threads that are available to handle requests. When a request comes in, it is assigned to a thread, which calls a service method (for example: doGet(), doPost() and service()) of the servlet. For this reason, a single servlet object can have its service methods called by many threads at once.
How many ways can we track client and what are they?
- The servlet API provides two ways to track client state and they are: a) Using Session tracking and b) Using Cookies.
What is the class and interface in java to create thread and which is the most advantageous method?
- Thread class and Runnable interface can be used to create threads and using Runnable interface is the most advantageous method to create threads because thread class implements Runnable.
What are the states associated in the thread?
- Thread contains ready, running, waiting and dead states.
What is the difference between abstract class and interface?
- a) All the methods declared inside an interface are abstract whereas abstract class must have at least one abstract method and others may be concrete or abstract. b) In abstract class, key word abstract must be used for the methods whereas interface we need not use that keyword for the methods.Interface methods are by default public and abstract.Interfaces can have constants, which are always implicitly public,static, and final.Interfaces can extend one or more other interfaces
What is difference between overloading and overriding?
- a) In overloading, there is a relationship between methods available in the same class whereas in overriding, there is relationship between a superclass method and subclass method. b) Overloading does not block inheritance from the superclass whereas overriding blocks inheritance from the superclass. c) In overloading, separate methods share the same name whereas in overriding, subclass method replaces the superclass. d) Overloading must have different method signatures whereas overriding must have same signature.
What are drivers available?
- a) JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver b) Native API Partly-Java driver c) JDBC-Net Pure Java driver d) Native-Protocol Pure Java driver
What are the different servers available for developing and deploying Servlets?
- a) Java Web Server b) JRun g) Apache Server h) Netscape Information Server i) Web Logic
What is a reflection package?
- java. lang. reflect package has the ability to analyze itself in runtime.
How do you pass data (including JavaBeans) to a JSP from a servlet?
- (1) Request Lifetime: Using this technique to pass beans, a request dispatcher (using either "include" or forward") can be called. This bean will disappear after processing this request has been completed. Servlet: request. setAttribute("theBean", myBean); RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext(). getRequestDispatcher("thepage. jsp"); rd. forward(request, response); JSP PAGE:<jsp: useBean id="theBean" scope="request" class=". . . . . " />(2) Session Lifetime: Using this technique to pass beans that are relevant to a particular session (such as in individual user login) over a number of requests. This bean will disappear when the session is invalidated or it times out, or when you remove it. Servlet: HttpSession session = request. getSession(true); session. putValue("theBean", myBean); /* You can do a request dispatcher here, or just let the bean be visible on the next request */ JSP Page:<jsp:useBean id="theBean" scope="session" class=". . . " /> 3) Application Lifetime: Using this technique to pass beans that are relevant to all servlets and JSP pages in a particular app, for all users. For example, I use this to make a JDBC connection pool object available to the various servlets and JSP pages in my apps. This bean will disappear when the servlet engine is shut down, or when you remove it. Servlet: GetServletContext(). setAttribute("theBean", myBean); JSP PAGE:<jsp:useBean id="theBean" scope="application" class=". . . " />
What are JSP Directives?
- A JSP directive affects the overall structure of the servlet class. It usually has the following form:<%@ directive attribute="value" %> However, you can also combine multiple attribute settings for a single directive, as follows:<%@ directive attribute1="value1? attribute 2="value2? . . . attributeN ="valueN" %> There are two main types of directive: page, which lets to do things like import classes, customize the servlet superclass, and the like; and include, which lets to insert a file into the servlet class at the time the JSP file is translated into a servlet
What is a stream and what are the types of Streams and classes of the Streams?
- A Stream is an abstraction that either produces or consumes information. There are two types of Streams and they are: Byte Streams: Provide a convenient means for handling input and output of bytes. Character Streams: Provide a convenient means for handling input & output of characters. Byte Streams classes: Are defined by using two abstract classes, namely InputStream and OutputStream. Character Streams classes: Are defined by using two abstract classes, namely Reader and Writer.
What is a package?
- A package is a collection of classes and interfaces that provides a high-level layer of access protection and name space management.
What are cookies and how will you use them?
- Cookies are a mechanism that a servlet uses to have a client hold a small amount of state-information associated with the user. a) Create a cookie with the Cookie constructor: public Cookie(String name, String value) b) A servlet can send a cookie to the client by passing a Cookie object to the addCookie() method of HttpServletResponse: public void HttpServletResponse. addCookie(Cookie cookie) c) A servlet retrieves cookies by calling the getCookies() method of HttpServletRequest: public Cookie[ ] HttpServletRequest. getCookie().
What is the life cycle of a servlet?
- Each Servlet has the same life cycle: a) A server loads and initializes the servlet by init () method. b) The servlet handles zero or more client's requests through service() method. c) The server removes the servlet through destroy() method.
What is Internet address?
- Every computer connected to a network has an IP address. An IP address is a number that uniquely identifies each computer on the Net. An IP address is a 32-bit number.
What are inner class and anonymous class?
- Inner class : classes defined in other classes, including those defined in methods are called inner classes. An inner class can have any accessibility including private. Anonymous class : Anonymous class is a class defined inside a method without a name and is instantiated and declared in the same place and cannot have explicit constructors.
What is interface and its use?
- Interface is similar to a class which may contain method's signature only but not bodies and it is a formal set of method and constant declarations that must be defined by the class that implements it. Interfaces are useful for: a)Declaring methods that one or more classes are expected to implement b)Capturing similarities between unrelated classes without forcing a class relationship. c)Determining an object's programming interface without revealing the actual body of the class.
What is Domain Naming Service(DNS)?
- It is very difficult to remember a set of numbers(IP address) to connect to the Internet. The Domain Naming Service(DNS) is used to overcome this problem. It maps one particular IP address to a string of characters.
What type of driver did you use in project?
- JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver (is a driver that uses native(C language) libraries and makes calls to an existing ODBC driver to access a database engine).
What is JSP?
- JSP is a dynamic scripting capability for web pages that allows Java as well as a few special tags to be embedded into a web file (HTML/XML, etc). The advantages are: a) The JSP assists in making the HTML more functional. Servlets on the other hand allow outputting of HTML but it is a tedious process. b) It is easy to make a change and then let the JSP capability of the web server you are using deal with compiling it into a servlet and running it.
What is a Jar file?
- Jar file allows to efficiently deploying a set of classes and their associated resources. The elements in a jar file are compressed, which makes downloading a Jar file much faster than separately downloading several uncompressed files. The package java. util. zip contains classes that read and write jar files.
What is multithreading and what are the methods for inter-thread communication and what is the class in which these methods are defined?
- Multithreading is the mechanism in which more than one thread run independent of each other within the process. wait (), notify () and notifyAll() methods can be used for inter-thread communication and these methods are in Object class. wait() : When a thread executes a call to wait() method, it surrenders the object lock and enters into a waiting state. notify() or notifyAll() : To remove a thread from the waiting state, some other thread must make a call to notify() or notifyAll() method on the same object.
Are there any global variables in Java, which can be accessed by other part of your program?
- No, it is not the main method in which you define variables. Global variables is not possible because concept of encapsulation is eliminated here.
What is an Object and how do you allocate memory to it?
- Object is an instance of a class and it is a software unit that combines a structured set of data with a set of operations for inspecting and manipulating that data. When an object is created using new operator, memory is allocated to it.
What is OOPs?
- Object oriented programming organizes a program around its data, i. e. , objects and a set of well defined interfaces to that data. An object-oriented program can be characterized as data controlling access to code.
What is the difference between process and thread?
- Process is a program in execution whereas thread is a separate path of execution in a program.
What is RMI and steps involved in developing an RMI object?
- Remote Method Invocation (RMI) allows java object that executes on one machine and to invoke the method of a Java object to execute on another machine. The steps involved in developing an RMI object are: a) Define the interfaces b) Implementing these interfaces c) Compile the interfaces and their implementations with the java compiler d) Compile the server implementation with RMI compiler e) Run the RMI registry f) Run the application
What is serialization and deserialization?
- Serialization is the process of writing the state of an object to a byte stream. Deserialization is the process of restoring these objects.
What is servlet?
- Servlets are modules that extend request/response-oriented servers, such as java-enabled web servers. For example, a servlet might be responsible for taking data in an HTML order-entry form and applying the business logic used to update a company's order database.
Why should we go for inter-servlet communication?
- Servlets running together in the same server communicate with each other in several ways. The three major reasons to use interservlet communication are: a) Direct servlet manipulation - allows to gain access to the other currently loaded servlets and perform certain tasks (through the ServletContext object) b) Servlet reuse - allows the servlet to reuse the public methods of another servlet. c) Servlet collaboration - requires to communicate with each other by sharing specific information (through method invocation)
What is the difference between this() and super()?
- this() can be used to invoke a constructor of the same class whereas super() can be used to invoke a super class constructor.
What is session tracking and how do you track a user session in servlets?
- Session tracking is a mechanism that servlets use to maintain state about a series requests from the same user across some period of time. The methods used for session tracking are: a) User Authentication - occurs when a web server restricts access to some of its resources to only those clients that log in using a recognized username and password. b) Hidden form fields - fields are added to an HTML form that are not displayed in the client's browser. When the form containing the fields is submitted, the fields are sent back to the server. c) URL rewriting - every URL that the user clicks on is dynamically modified or rewritten to include extra information. The extra information can be in the form of extra path information, added parameters or some custom, server-specific URL change. d) Cookies - a bit of information that is sent by a web server to a browser and which can later be read back from that browser. e) HttpSession- places a limit on the number of sessions that can exist in memory. This limit is set in the session. maxresidents property.
What is the difference between set and list?
- Set stores elements in an unordered way but does not contain duplicate elements, whereas list stores elements in an ordered way but may contain duplicate elements.
What are the types of statements in JDBC?
- Statement: to be used createStatement() method for executing single SQL statement PreparedStatement — To be used preparedStatement() method for executing same SQL statement over and over. CallableStatement — To be used prepareCall() method for multiple SQL statements over and over.
What is the difference between TCP/IP and UDP?
- TCP/IP is a two-way communication between the client and the server and it is a reliable and there is a confirmation regarding reaching the message to the destination. It is like a phone call. UDP is a one-way communication only between the client and the server and it is not a reliable and there is no confirmation regarding reaching the message to the destination. It is like a postal mail.
What is the difference between Reader/Writer and InputStream/Output Stream?
- The Reader/Writer class is character-oriented and the InputStream/OutputStream class is byte-oriented.
What are the advantages of the model over the event-inheritance model?
- The event-delegation model has two advantages over the event-inheritance model. They are: a)It enables event handling by objects other than the ones that generate the events. This allows a clean separation between a component's design and its use. b)It performs much better in applications where many events are generated. This performance improvement is due to the fact that the event-delegation model does not have to be repeatedly process unhandled events as is the case of the event-inheritance.
What is the difference between exception and error?
- The exception class defines mild error conditions that your program encounters. Exceptions can occur when trying to open the file, which does not exist, the network connection is disrupted, operands being manipulated are out of prescribed ranges, the class file you are interested in loading is missing. The error class defines serious error conditions that you should not attempt to recover from. In most cases it is advisable to let the program terminate when such an error is encountered.
What are the types of JDBC Driver Models and explain them?
- There are two types of JDBC Driver Models and they are: a) Two tier model and b) Three tier model. Two tier model: In this model, Java applications interact directly with the database. A JDBC driver is required to communicate with the particular database management system that is being accessed. SQL statements are sent to the database and the results are given to user. This model is referred to as client/server configuration where user is the client and the machine that has the database is called as the server. Three tier model: A middle tier is introduced in this model. The functions of this model are: a) Collection of SQL statements from the client and handing it over to the database, b) Receiving results from database to the client and c) Maintaining control over accessing and updating of the above.
How to create and call stored procedures?
- To create stored procedures: Create procedure procedurename (specify in, out and in out parameters) BEGIN Any multiple SQL statement; END; To call stored procedures: CallableStatement csmt = con. prepareCall("{call procedure name(?,?)}"); csmt. registerOutParameter(column no. , data type); csmt. setInt(column no. , column name) csmt. execute();
What are Transient and Volatile Modifiers?
- Transient: The transient modifier applies to variables only and it is not stored as part of its object's Persistent state. Transient variables are not serialized. Volatile: Volatile modifier applies to variables only and it tells the compiler that the variable modified by volatile can be changed unexpectedly by other parts of the program.
What is URL?
- URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and it points to resource files on the Internet. URL has four components: http://www. address. com:80/index.html, where http - protocol name, address - IP address or host name, 80 - port number and index.html - file path.
What are Vector, Hashtable, LinkedList and Enumeration?
- Vector : The Vector class provides the capability to implement a growable array of objects. Hashtable : The Hashtable class implements a Hashtable data structure. A Hashtable indexes and stores objects in a dictionary using hash codes as the object's keys. Hash codes are integer values that identify objects. LinkedList: Removing or inserting elements in the middle of an array can be done using LinkedList. A LinkedList stores each object in a separate link whereas an array stores object references in consecutive locations. Enumeration: An object that implements the Enumeration interface generates a series of elements, one at a time. It has two methods, namely hasMoreElements() and nextElement(). HasMoreElemnts() tests if this enumeration has more elements and nextElement method returns successive elements of the series.
Who is loading the init() method of servlet?
- Web server
What is Garbage Collection and how to call it explicitly?
- When an object is no longer referred to by any variable, java automatically reclaims memory used by that object. This is known as garbage collection. System. gc() method may be used to call it explicitly.
When will you synchronize a piece of your code?
- When you expect your code will be accessed by different threads and these threads may change a particular data causing data corruption.
What is connection pooling?
- With servlets, opening a database connection is a major bottleneck because we are creating and tearing down a new connection for every page request and the time taken to create connection will be more. Creating a connection pool is an ideal approach for a complicated servlet. With a connection pool, we can duplicate only the resources we need to duplicate rather than the entire servlet. A connection pool can also intelligently manage the size of the pool and make sure each connection remains valid. A number of connection pool packages are currently available. Some like DbConnectionBroker are freely available from Java Exchange Works by creating an object that dispenses connections and connection Ids on request. The ConnectionPool class maintains a Hastable, using Connection objects as keys and Boolean values as stored values. The Boolean value indicates whether a connection is in use or not. A program calls getConnection() method of the ConnectionPool for getting Connection object it can use; it calls returnConnection() to give the connection back to the pool.
Is it possible to communicate from an applet to servlet and how many ways and how?
- Yes, there are three ways to communicate from an applet to servlet and they are: a) HTTP Communication(Text-based and object-based) b) Socket Communication c) RMI Communication
Can you have an inner class inside a method and what variables can you access?
- Yes, we can have an inner class inside a method and final variables(local) can be accessed.
Is it possible to call servlet with parameters in the URL?
- Yes. You can call a servlet with parameters in the syntax as (?Param1 = xxx || m2 = yyy).
What is the difference between Integer and int?
- a) Integer is a class defined in the java. lang package, whereas int is a primitive data type defined in the Java language itself. Java does not automatically convert from one to the other. b) Integer can be used as an argument for a method that requires an object, whereas int can be used for calculations.
What is the difference between JDBC and ODBC?
- a) OBDC is for Microsoft and JDBC is for Java applications. b) ODBC can't be directly used with Java because it uses a C interface. c) ODBC makes use of pointers which have been removed totally from Java. d) ODBC mixes simple and advanced features together and has complex options for simple queries. But JDBC is designed to keep things simple while allowing advanced capabilities when required. e) ODBC requires manual installation of the ODBC driver manager and driver on all client machines. JDBC drivers are written in Java and JDBC code is automatically installable, secure, and portable on all platforms. f) JDBC API is a natural Java interface and is built on ODBC. JDBC retains some of the basic features of ODBC.
What is the difference between String and String Buffer?
- a) String objects are constants and immutable whereas StringBuffer objects are not. b) String class supports constant strings whereas StringBuffer class supports growable and modifiable strings.
What is the difference between doPost and doGet methods?
- a) doGet() method is used to get information, while doPost() method is used for posting information. b) doGet() requests can't send large amount of information and is limited to 240-255 characters. However, doPost()requests passes all of its data, of unlimited length. c) A doGet() request is appended to the request URL in a query string and this allows the exchange is visible to the client, whereas a doPost() request passes directly over the socket connection as part of its HTTP request body and the exchange are invisible to the client.
What is the difference between applications and applets?
- a)Application must be run on local machine whereas applet needs no explicit installation on local machine. b)Application must be run explicitly within a java-compatible virtual machine whereas applet loads and runs itself automatically in a java-enabled browser. d)Application starts execution with its main method whereas applet starts execution with its init method. e)Application can run with or without graphical user interface whereas applet must run within a graphical user interface.
What is final, finalize() and finally?
- final : final keyword can be used for class, method and variables. A final class cannot be subclassed and it prevents other programmers from subclassing a secure class to invoke insecure methods. A final method can't be overridden. A final variable can't change from its initialized value. finalize() : finalize() method is used just before an object is destroyed and can be called just prior to garbage collection. finally : finally, a key word used in exception handling, creates a block of code that will be executed after a try/catch block has completed and before the code following the try/catch block. The finally block will execute whether or not an exception is thrown. For example, if a method opens a file upon exit, then you will not want the code that closes the file to be bypassed by the exception-handling mechanism. This finally keyword is designed to address this contingency.
What is the lifecycle of an applet?
- init() method - Can be called when an applet is first loaded start() method - Can be called each time an applet is started. paint() method - Can be called when the applet is minimized or maximized. stop() method - Can be used when the browser moves off the applet's page. destroy() method - Can be called when the browser is finished with the applet.
What are different types of access modifiers?
- public: Any thing declared as public can be accessed from anywhere. private: Any thing declared as private can't be seen outside of its class. protected: Any thing declared as protected can be accessed by classes in the same package and subclasses in the other packages. default modifier : Can be accessed only to classes in the same package.
Explain the methods, rebind() and lookup() in Naming class?
- rebind() of the Naming class(found in java. rmi) is used to update the RMI registry on the server machine. Naming. rebind("AddSever", AddServerImpl); lookup() of the Naming class accepts one argument, the rmi URL and returns a reference to an object of type AddServerImpl.
What are Predefined variables or implicit objects?
- simplified code in JSP expressions . They are request, response, out, session, application, config, pageContext, and page.
What is source and listener?
- source : A source is an object that generates an event. This occurs when the internal state of that object changes in some way. listener : A listener is an object that is notified when an event occurs. It has two major requirements. First, it must have been registered with one or more sources to receive notifications about specific types of events. Second, it must implement methods to receive and process these notifications.
What is the difference between constructor and method?
Constructor will be automatically invoked when an object is created whereas method has to be called explicitly. Constructor doesn't have return types and its name must be the same as the Class' When constructor is invoked, it may invoke the constructors of the super classes.(call stack)
What are the steps involved for making a connection with a database or how do you connect to a database?
a) Loading the driver : To load the driver, Class. forName() method is used. Class. forName("sun. jdbc. odbc. JdbcOdbcDriver"); When the driver is loaded, it registers itself with the java. sql. DriverManager class as an available database driver. b) Making a connection with database: To open a connection to a given database, DriverManager. getConnection() method is used. Connection con = DriverManager. getConnection ("jdbc:odbc:somedb", "user", "password"); c) Executing SQL statements : To execute a SQL query, java. sql. statements class is used. createStatement() method of Connection to obtain a new Statement object. Statement stmt = con. createStatement(); A query that returns data can be executed using the executeQuery() method of Statement. This method executes the statement and returns a java. sql. ResultSet that encapsulates the retrieved data: ResultSet rs = stmt. executeQuery("SELECT * FROM some table"); d) Process the results : ResultSet returns one row at a time. Next() method of ResultSet object can be called to move to the next row. The getString() and getObject() methods are used for retrieving column values: while(rs. next()) { String event = rs. getString("event"); Object count = (Integer) rs. getObject("count");
