JavaKitz: MyInterviews

1.First Interview: 10-10-2009

1)How many ways are there to create an object?

i) Using ‘new’ operator:

Test s=new Test();

ii) Factory method:

Thread t=Thread.currentThread();

iii) newInstance():

Class c=Class.forName(“Test”);

Object obj=c.newInstance(); àcreates Test class Object.

Test t=(Test)obj;

iv) clone():

Test t1=new Test(10,20);

Test t2=t1.clone();

v) Deserialization:

FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(“Test.txt”);

ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream(fis);

UserDefSerCls uds=new UserDefSerCls(,” ”,);

Ois.readObject(uds);

Ois.close();

2) What are the differences b/w HashMap and HashSet?

HashMap	HashSet
It stores the data in key,value format. It allows duplicate elements as values. It implements Map It allows only one NULL key.	It stores grouped data . It does not allow any duplicates. It implements Set. It does not allow NULL .

3) What is the difference b/w wait(-), sleep(-)& wait(-),yield()?

Wait(-)

Sleep(-)

Running to Waiting/ Sleeping/Block.

It makes the current thread to sleep up to the given seconds and it could sleep less than the given seconds if it receives notify()/notifyAll() call.

In this case, the locks will be released before going into waiting state so that the other threads that are waiting on that object will use it.

Causes current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.

It makes the current thread to sleep for exactly the given seconds.

In case of sleep(), once the thread is entered

into synchronized block/method, no other

thread will be able to enter into that

method/block.

Yield()à when a task invokes yield(), it changes from Running state to Runnable state.

*4) Can we create a userdefined immutable class?

Yes.

i) Make the class as final and

ii) make the data members as private and final.

*5) What are the differences b/w String and StringBuffer?

String	StringBuffer
It is immutable. It won’t give any additional space.	It is mutable. gives 16 additional characters memory space.

6) Which “Collections F/W” classes did you use in your project?

List, ArrayList, LinkedList—add()

Set, TreeSet, HashSet--

HashMap—put(), get(), entrySet(), keyset()

Map.Entry

Iterator----hasMoreElements(), next()

ListIterator.

7) Can you write the simple code for HashMap?

HashMap<String,String> hm=new HashMap<String,String>();

hm.put(“key1”,”value1”);

hm.put(“key2”,”value2”);

hm.put(“key3”,”value3”);

Set set=hm.keySet(); // gives keys Set i.e., {key1,key2,key3}

Iterator<string> itr=set.iterator();

while(itr.hasNext()){ //true….false

String empkeys=itr.next(); //for keys

String empvalnames=hm.get(empkeys); //gives values by taking keys.

System.out.println(“empname”+empvalnames+”empid”+empkeys);

}

8) What are thread states?

i) Start: Thread thread=new Thread();

ii) Runnable: looking for its turn to be picked for execution by the Thread Schedular based

on thead priorities. (setPriority())

iii) Running: The Processor is actively executing the thread code. It runs until it becomes

blocked, or voluntarily gives up its turn with Thread.yield().

Because of Context Switching overhead, yield() should not be used very

frequently.

iv) Waiting: A thread is in a blocked state while it waits for some external processing such

as file I/O to finish.

Sleepingàsleep(): Java threads are forcibly put to sleep (suspended) with this overloaded method.

Thread.sleep(milliseconds); Thread.sleep(milliseconds,nanoseconds);

Blocking on I/O: Will move to runnable after I/O condition like reading bytes of data etc changes.

Blocked on Synchronization: will move to Runnable when a Lock is acquired.

v) Dead: The thread is finished working.

How to avoid Deadlock:

1) Avoid a thread holding multiple locks----

If no thread attempts to hold more than one lock ,then no deadlock occurs.

2) Reordering lock acquisition:--

If we require threads to always

acquire locks in a particular order, then no deadlock occurs.

9) What are differences b/w concrete,abstract classes and interface & they are given?

Concrete class: A class of only Concrete methods is called Concrete Class.

For this, object instantiation is possible directly.

A class can extends one class and implements many interfaces.

Abstract class:

Interface:

*A class of only Concrete or only Abstract or both.

*Any java class can extend only one abstract class.

*It won’t force the programmer to implement/override all its methods.

*It takes less execution time than interface.

* It allows constructor.

This class can’t be instantiated directly.

A class must be abstract when it consist at least one abstract method.

It gives less scope than an Interface.

It allows both variable & constants declaration.

It allows methods definitions or declarations whenever we want.

It gives reusability hence it can’t be declared as “final”.

only abstract methods.

A class can implements any no. of interfaces

(this gives multiple interface inheritance )

It forces the programmer to implement all its methods

Interface takes more execution time due to its complex hierarchy.

* It won’t allow any constructor.

It can’t be instantiated but it can refer to its subclass objects.

It gives more scope than an abstract class.

By default, methodsàpublic abstract

variablesàpublic static final.

It allows methods declarations whenever we want . But it involves complexity.

Since they give reusability hence they must not be declared as “final”.

10) Can you create a userdefined immutable class like String?

Yes, by making the class as final and its data members as private, final.

11) Name some struts supplied tags?

a) struts_html.tld b) struts_bean.tld

c) struts_logic.tld d) struts_nested.tld

d) struts_template.tld e) struts_tiles.tld.

12) How to retieve the objects from an ArrayList?

List list=new ArrayList(); // List<String> list=new ArrayList<String>();

list.add(“element1”); list.add(“element1”);

list.add(“element2”); list.add(“element2”);

list.add(“element3”); list.add(“element3”);

// Iterator<String> iterator=list.iterator();

for(String str:list)

s.o.p(str); }

Iterator iterator=list.iterator();

while(iterator.hasNext()){

String str=(String)itr.next();

S.o.p(string);

}

13) What are versions of your current project technologies?

Java 5.0; Servlets 2.4, Jsp 2.0; struts 1.3.4 ; spring 2.0; Hibernate 3.2, Oracle 9i. weblogic 8.5.

14) What is “Quality”?

It is a Measure of excellence.

state of being free from defects, deficiencies, and significant variations.

A product or service that bears its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs."

15) Can I take a class as “private”?

Yes, but it is declare to inner class, not to outer class.

If we are declaring "private" to outer class nothing can be

accessed from that outer class to inner class.

16) How can you clone an object?

A a1=new ();

B a11=a1.clone();

17) What methods are there in Cloneable interface?

Since Cloneable is a Marker/Tag interface, no methods present.

When a class implements this interface that class obtains some special behavior and that

will be realized by the JVM.

18) What is the struts latest version?

Struts 2.0

19) How are you using “Statement” like interface methods even without knowing their

implementations classes in JDBC?

20) Which JSP methods can be overridden?

jspInit() & jspDestroy().

21) Explain the JSP life-cycle methods?

1. Page translation: The page is parsed & a Java file containing the corresponding servlet is

                                    created.
2. Page compilation: The Java file is compiled.
3. Load class:         The compiled class is loaded.
4 .Create instance:     An instance of the servlet is created.
5. Call jspInit():       This method is called before any other
                              method to allow initialization.
6. Call _jspService(): This method is called for each request. (can’t be overridden)
7. Call jspDestroy(): The container calls this when it decides take the instance out of service.

It is the last method called n the servlet instance.

22) What Design Patterns are you using in your project?

i) MVCàseparates roles using different technologies,

ii) Singleton Java classàTo satisfy the Servlet Specification, a servlet must be a Single

Instance multiple thread component.

iii) Front Controllerà A Servlet developed as FrontController can traps only the requests.

iv) D.T.O/ V.OàData Transfer Object/Value object is there to send huge amount of data

from one lalyer to another layer.

It avoids Network Round trips.

v) IOC/Dependency Injectionà F/w s/w or container can automatically instantiates the

objects implicitly and injects the dependent data to that object.

vi) Factory methodà It won’t allows object instantiation from out-side of the calss.

vii) View Helperà It is there to develop a JSP without Java code so that readability,

re-usability will become easy.

23) What is Singleton Java class & its importance?

A Java class that allows to create only one object per JVM is called Singleton Java class.

Ex: In Struts f/w, the ActionServlet is a Singleton Java class.

Use: Instead of creating multiple objects for a Java class having same data, it is recommended

to create only one object & use it for multiple no. of times.

24) What are the differences b/w perform() & execute()?

perform() is an deprecated method.

25) What are the drawbacks of Struts? Is it MVC-I or II? Struts is MVC-II

1) Struts 1.x components are API dependent. Because Action & FormBean classes must

extend from the Struts 1.x APIs pre-defined classes.

2) Since applications are API dependent hence their “Unit testing” becomes complex.

3) Struts allows only JSP technology in developing View-layer components.

4) Struts application Debugging is quite complex.

5) Struts gives no built-in AJAX support. (for asynchronous communication)

Note: In Struts 1.x, the form that comes on the Browser-Window can be displayed

under no control of F/W s/w & Action class.

26) What are the differences b/w struts, spring and hibernate?

Struts: allows to develop only webapplications and

it can’t support POJO/POJI model programming.

Spring: is useful in developing all types of Java applications and

support POJO/POJI model programming.

Hibernate: is used to develop DB independent persistence logic

It also supports POJO/POJI model programming.

27) What are differences b/w Servlets & Jsp?

Servlets:

i) It requires Recompilation and Reloading when we do modifications in a Servlet.(some servers)

ii) Every Servlet must be configured in “web.xml”.

iii) It is providing less amount of implicit objects support.

iv) Since it consists both HTML & B.logic hence modification in one logic may disturbs

the other logic.

v) No implicit Exception Handling support.

vi) Since it requires strong Java knowledge hence non-java programmers shows no interest.

vii) Keeping HTML code in Servlets is quite complex.

JSP:

i) No need of Recompilation & Reloading when we do modifications in a JSP page.

ii) We need not to Configure a JSP in a “web.xml”.

iii) It is providing huge amount of Implicit Objects support.

iv) Since Html & Java code are separated hence no disturbance while changing logic.

v) It is providing implicit XML Exception Handling support.

vi) It is easy to learn & implement since it is tags based.

vii) It allows to develop custom tags.

viii) It gives JSTL support.

(JSP Standard Tag LibraryàIt provides more tags that will help to develop a JSP

without using Java code).

ix) It gives all benefits of Servlets.

28) What is the difference b/w ActionServlet & Servlet?

ActionServlet: It is a predefined Singleton Java class and it traps all the requests

coming to Server. It acts as a Front-Controller in Struts 1.x.

Servlet: a Java class that extends HttpServlet/GenericServlet or implements Servlet

interface and is a Server side technology to develop dynamic web pages.

It is a Single instance multiple thread component. It need not be a Singleton Java class.

29) What are Access Specifiers & modifiers?

i) public- à Universal access specifier.

--can be used along with: class, innerclass, Interface, variable, constructor, method.

ii) protectd à Inherited access specifier.

--can be used along with: innerclass, variable, method, constructor.

iii) default à Package access specifier(with in the package).

--can be used along with: class, innerclass, interface, variable, constructor, method.

iv) private à Native access specifier.

-- can be used along with: innerclass, variable, constructor, method.

à Some other access modifiers:

i) static------------innerclass,variable,block,method.

ii) abstract—----- class,method.

iii) final--------------class,variable,method.

iv) synchronized---block,method.

v) transient---------variable.

vi) native-------------method.

vii) volatile-----------variable

viii) strict fp-----------variable

30) Which JSP tag is used to display error validation?

In Source page:

<%@page errorPage=”error-page-name.jsp”>

In Error page:

<%@page isErrorPage=”true”>

31) What are the roles of EJBContainer ?

An EJB container is the world in which an EJB bean lives.
The container services requests from the EJB, forwards requests from the client to the EJB, and interacts with the EJB server.
The container provider must provide transaction support, security and persistence to beans.
It is also responsible for running the beans and for ensuring that the beans are protected from the outside world.

35) What are the functions of service()?

protected void service(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse resp)

                                   throws ServletException, java.io.IOException

Receives standard HTTP requests from the public service method and dispatches them to the doXXX methods defined in this class. This method is an HTTP-specific version of the

   public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res)

                                      throws ServletException, java.io.IOException

Dispatches client requests to the protected service method.

There's no need to override this method.

i) Bean property values can be collected from

“outside properties file”.

ii) gives support for Pre-Initialization of Beans.

iii) text messages can be collected from

outside property files to give support for i18n.

iv) allows to work with EventHandling through Listeners.

Pre-initialization: creating Bean class objects & performing Dependency Injection on

Bean properties at the time of container activation.

130) What is the interface implemented by HashMap and Hashtable?

Map (i)

131) Can you unit test a “private method”?

132) What are ServletListeners?

Source obj	Event	Listener	EventHandling methods (public void
ServletRequest ServletContext HttpSession	ServletRequestEvent(sre) ServletContextEvent(sce) HttpSessionEvent (hse)	ServletRequestListener ServletContextListener HttpSessionListener	requestInitialized(sre) requestDestroyed(sre) contextInitialized(sce) contextDestroyed(sce) sessionCreated(hse) sessionDestroyed(hse)

From Servlet 2.4 onwards, EventHandling is allowed on special objects of webapplication

like ServletContext, ServletRequest, HttpSession objects.

ServletRequest:

By doing EventHandling on ServletRequest object, we can keep track of

each “request” object creation time & destruction time. Based on this, we can

find out “request processing time”.

HttpSession:

By performing EventHandling on HttpSession object, we can find out

“session” object creation time & destruction time. Based on this, we can

know the time taken by the each user to work with “session”.

Procedure to configure Listeners with webapplication

1) Develop a Java class implementing appropriate “Listener”

& place it in WEB-INF/classes folder.

2) Configure that Listener class name in web.xml by using <listener-class>

a. Loads the servlet class.

b. Creates an instance of the servlet class.

c. Initializes the servlet instance by calling the init method.

2. Invokes the service method, passing a request and response object.

3. If the container needs to remove the servlet, it finalizes the servlet by calling

the servlet's destroy method.

v) The result after “SELECT” operation, by default, is “Serializable”.

151) What are the differences b/w Servlet and JSP?

For every time we modifing the servlet , we should re-deploy the servlet.

Its very big headache.

Manually written servlets are somewhat faster than JSPs.

JSP:

i) No need of Recompilation & Reloading when we do modifications in a JSP page.

ii) We need not to Configure a JSP in a “web.xml”.

iii) It is providing huge amount of Implicit Objects support.

iv) Since Html & Java code are separated hence no disturbance while changing logic.

v) It is providing implicit XML Exception Handling support.

152) How to connect with DB?

byte, int, short, long, float, double, char, booleanàlocal variables.

161) What happens when we store primitives to Collections?

162) What are the Wrapper class objects?

The primitives are not allowed to store inside the collections. So, they will be converted into

Wrapper class objects using their respective wrapper classes.

163) What is the difference between “Apache Server” & “Tomcat Server”?

Apache/ Apache HTTP Server, is an established standard in the online distribution of website services, which gave the initial boost for the expansion of the W.W.W.

. It is an open-source web server platform, which guarantees the online availability of the majority of the websites active today.

for(Integer keys:s){

for(String values:hm.get(s)){

S.o.p(values+” ”+keys);

}

172) Which algorithm is used by JVM while running Garbage Collection?

Mark-in-sweep.

Web.xml

175) How do you Unit test in Spring environment?

176) How do you disable all the JavaScripts of pages in an application?

177) Why there are Directive and Action tags in JSP?

Directive tags: perform Global operations on a page like

i) importing packages,

ii) working with tag-library

iii) including other JSPs content and etc.,.

ex: page, include, taglib

Action tags:

are there to perform actions during request-processing/execution phase of JSP.

Ex: include, forward,useBean, setProperty, getProperty, param, plugin.

178) What does Tomcat Support?

War file

179) What is dialect?

Using dialect, Hibernate knows the type of DB & its version to which it will connected.

180) How do you map HB Pojo class with Table?

<hibernate-mapping default-cascade="none" default-access="property" default-lazy="true"

auto-import="true">

<composite-id name="orderId" class="OrderId" mapped="false" unsaved-value="undefined">

<key-property name="customerId" column="customer_id" />

<key-property name="orderTime" column="order_time" />

</composite-id>

</class>

</hibernate-mapping>

182) Difference b/w SVN(Sub VersioN) & VSS (Visual Source Safe--microsoft)?

Usually team members do all of their work separately, in their own working copies and need to share their work. This is done via a Subversion repository. Syncro SVN Client supports the versions 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 of the SVN repository format

Expansion. The number of programmers doubled and we didn't want to fork out for the extra VSS licenses
Bugs. VSS is good at maintaining the latest version of a file, but histories often got corrupted.
More bugs. The checking/recovery tools were useless as they started crashing when the database got very large.

183) What is Servlet Chaining?

Servlet Chaining is a method of processing the request using multiple servlets as a chain.

184) What is the use of DyanaActionForm?

It allows Declarative data population that avoids recompilation.

185) prototype of execute(-,-,-,-)?

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping am,

ActionForm af,

HttpServletRequest req,

HttpServletResponse resp)

186) Difference b/w ActionForm, DynaActionForm and DynaValidatorForm?

All three are JavaBean Classes that can maintain the session state for web application.

The ActionForm object is automatically populated on the server side with data

entered from a form on the client side.

An ActionForm/DynaValidateForm can have getter(),Setter(), reset() and the validate() methods that can be defined in our ActionForm or in Action class itself.

* If any changes are made to the properties, code need to be recompiled.

Here comes the DynaActionForm to rescue. It allows properites to be specified in Struts-cofig.xml file there by avoiding the recompilation of the code.

Also there is no need to have a Form Bean for every page that had getter and

setter method for each of the field on the page.

This is how it can be declared in struts config file:

<form-beans>

<form-bean name="employeeForm"

type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">

<form-property name="fname" type="java.lang.String"/>

</form-bean>

</form-beans>

187) How the DispatchAction knows, when it is pointed by multiple JSPs,

which jsp request execute which DispatchAction method to process the request by

executing the B.logic?

JSP sends the “method name” along with the request as

additional request parameter to DispatchAction.

function=insert, update, delete.(methods in OurAction)

Take a “parameter” attribute that represents all the methods of DispathAction class that

configured in Stuts-Config.xml using <action-mappings>.

Take the different JSP forms where property=”parameter value” and value=”method-name”

under the hidden tag.(<input name=”” type=”” value=” ”>)

<action-mappings>

<action path=”/controller1”

name=bean

type=”OurAction” //name of the DispathAction

parameter=function scope=”request”/>

Add.jsp: <html: hidden property=”function” value=”insert”>

Modify.jsp: <html: hidden property=”function” value=”update”>

Delete.jsp: <html: hidden property=”function” value=”delete”>

188) Types of Action classes in Struts?(8)

Actionà to execute B.logic by keeping in execute() or to place request processing logic.

ForwardActionà It is there to forward/transfer the control from one web resource to another

through the controller.(i.e.,according to MVC principle, any two JSPs

should not communicate directly. Use ForwardAction that will configured in

Struts-config.xml)

IncludeActionà It is there to include response of JSP to another through controller.

DispatchActionà It groups the related Action classes into single “Action” class and allows

multiple user defined methods as execute() to differentiate the B.logic.

(so that multiple JSPs giving request to single DispatchAction, can be linked

with different methods available.)

MappingDispatchActionà

LookupActionà

SwitchActionà

LocaleActionà

189) ACID Operations

Atomicity:

The process of combining invisible & individual operations into a single unit.

Consistency:

It is a process where the rules applied on DB may be violated during Tx

but no rule is violated at the end of a Tx.

Ex: Account table—balance field –no negative bal

Isolation:

The process of applying locks on a DB table at various levels to avoid data corruption

when multiple users are allowed concurrently/simultaneously.

Durability:

The process of bringing the DB s/w original state using the log & back up files

when it was crashed/corrupted.

197) What is Setter and Constructor injection?

à Setter Injection:

It is a process of injecting/assigning the dependent values to the Bean properties

by the spring container using Bean class setXXX(-) methods.

Note: In Spring Config.xml:

<property name=”age ”>

<value> 20</value>

</property>

à Constructor Injection:

It is a process of assigning/injecting the dependent values to the Bean properties

by the spring container using “parameterized Constructors”.

iii) It is a way of logically grouping classes that are only used in one place.

Inner-class object creation:

OuterClass.InnerClass innerObject=outerObject.new InnerClass().

Anonymous Class: a name-less local class .

When to use:

i) when a class has a short body.

ii) only one instance of the class is needed.

208) Difference b/w Primary and Unique key?

Primary key:

Only one Primary key constraint can be applied to a table.

Primary key column won’t allow duplicates.

Primary key column won’t allow NULL.

Unique key: one or many Unique key constraint can be applied to one table.

It allows duplicates.

It allows NULL.

209) Is the Servlet thread-Safe by default?

No, the servlet by default is not Thread safe. To achieve this, the servlet must implements

SingleThreadModel interface OR synchronize the service().

210) Explain Joins?

Purpose : to bind data together, across tables, without repeating all of the data in every table.

JOIN: Return rows when there is at least one match in both tables

LEFT OUTER JOIN: Return all rows from the left table, even if there are no matches in the right table

RIGHT OUTER JOIN: Return all rows from the right table, even if there are no matches in the left table

FULL OUTER JOIN: Return rows when there is a match in one of the tables

SELF JOIN :

EQUI/INNER JOIN:

212) What tool are you using to write hundreds of fields for your project?

213) What code styles are you following in IDE?

214) Procedure to work with PreparedStatement in a Java application.

1). Prepare a query having “positional/place” holders/”in parameters”.ie.(?,?,?)

2). Send the query to DB s/w, make the query as “pre-compiled query” & represent

it through “PreparedStatement”.

3). Set the values for place-holders using “setXXX(-,-)”.

4). Execute the query.

5). To execute the same query for multiple no. of times with same/different values,

repeat steps 3 & 4 for multiple times.

6). Close PreparedStatement object.

à Pre-compiled query: a query that goes to DB & becomes

compiled-query without values, and also resides on DB.

It reduces “Network traffic” b/w Java appl & DB s/w.
