Ans. One can import the same package or same class multiple times. Neither compiler nor JVM complains wil complain about it. And the JVM will internally load the class only once no matter how many times you import the same class. | ||||

Ans. Suppose that a software group traditionally starts the body of every class with comments providing important information: public class Generation3List extends Generation2List { // Author: John Doe // Date: 3/17/2002 // Current revision: 6 // Last modified: 4/12/2004 // By: Jane Doe // Reviewers: Alice, Bill, Cindy // class code goes here } To add this same metadata with an annotation, you must first define the annotation type. The syntax for doing this is: @interface ClassPreamble { String author(); String date(); int currentRevision() default 1; String lastModified() default "N/A"; String lastModifiedBy() default "N/A"; // Note use of array String[] reviewers(); } The annotation type definition looks similar to an interface definition where the keyword interface is preceded by the at sign (@) (@ = AT, as in annotation type). Annotation types are a form of interface, which will be covered in a later lesson. For the moment, you do not need to understand interfaces. The body of the previous annotation definition contains annotation type element declarations, which look a lot like methods. Note that they can define optional default values. After the annotation type is defined, you can use annotations of that type, with the values filled in, like this: @ClassPreamble ( author = "John Doe", date = "3/17/2002", currentRevision = 6, lastModified = "4/12/2004", lastModifiedBy = "Jane Doe", // Note array notation reviewers = {"Alice", "Bob", "Cindy"} ) public class Generation3List extends Generation2List { // class code goes here } | ||||

Like Discuss Correct / Improve  java   annotations | ||||
| ||||
Ans. @Deprecated annotation indicates that the marked element is deprecated and should no longer be used. The compiler generates a warning whenever a program uses a method, class, or field with the @Deprecated annotation. @Override annotation informs the compiler that the element is meant to override an element declared in a superclass. @SuppressWarnings annotation tells the compiler to suppress specific warnings that it would otherwise generate. @SafeVarargs annotation, when applied to a method or constructor, asserts that the code does not perform potentially unsafe operations on its varargsparameter. When this annotation type is used, unchecked warnings relating to varargs usage are suppressed. @FunctionalInterface annotation, introduced in Java SE 8, indicates that the type declaration is intended to be a functional interface, as defined by the Java Language Specification. | ||||

Ans. Annotations that apply to other annotations are called meta-annotations. | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  java   annotations   meta annotations | ||||
| ||||
Ans. @Retention annotation specifies how the marked annotation is stored: @Documented annotation indicates that whenever the specified annotation is used those elements should be documented using the Javadoc tool. (By default, annotations are not included in Javadoc.) @Target annotation marks another annotation to restrict what kind of Java elements the annotation can be applied to. @Inherited annotation indicates that the annotation type can be inherited from the super class. (This is not true by default.) When the user queries the annotation type and the class has no annotation for this type, the class' superclass is queried for the annotation type. This annotation applies only to class declarations. @Repeatable annotation, introduced in Java SE 8, indicates that the marked annotation can be applied more than once to the same declaration or type use. For more information, see Repeating Annotations. | ||||

Try 2 Question(s) Test | ||||
| ||||
Ans. No. Static methods belong to the class and not the objects. They belong to the class and hence doesn't fit properly for the polymorphic behavior. A static method is not associated with any instance of a class so the concept of overriding for runtime polymorphism using static methods is not applicable. | ||||

Ans. Adapter object has a different input than the real subject whereas Proxy object has the same input as the real subject. Proxy object is such that it should be placed as it is in place of the real subject. | ||||

| ||||
Ans. The Difference between these patterns in only the intent. Adapter is used because the objects in current form cannot communicate where as in Facade , though the objects can communicate , A Facade object is placed between the client and subject to simplify the interface. | ||||
