 Q462. What could be the possible cause for following exception ?

org.hibernate.StaleObjectStateException: Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect):

What could be the way to fix it ?
Hibernate
Ans. This looks like the case for optimistic locking wherein hibernate suspects that the information in table was updated by some other transaction after the entity was loaded by current transaction.

One way is to have synchronized entity state and don't detach the entity. Other could be to merge the entity with the table record rather than just directly persisting the entity.

 Q463. What is an optimistic locking ?Database
Ans. It's the way for synchronization wherein we can store version information in the table , so that if the same entity is updated by two transactions, the last to commit changes is informed of the conflict, and does not override the other transaction's work.

 Q465. why should one we use 32 bit system instead of 64 bit?Operating System
Ans. Performance of a system doesn't solely rely on size of processor or it's communication size. It should also be compatible with other resources like memory, storage etc. Moreover it makes no sense to have 64 bit systems when there is hardly any software than can run on 64 bit system.

 Q467. Why do we need Garbage collection ?Core Java
Ans. Garbage collection mechanism frees up the memory that is no longer needed. In languages like C / C++ the deallocation needs to be done explicitly by the programmer and hence any leniency may result in memory leak. Garbage collection in java ensures that all unused memory is reclaimed and hence there are no memory leaks.Moreover it relieves the programmer from the hassle of carefully releasing all memory.

 Q470. Can a constructor have a private access specifier ?Core Java

 Q471. What is the relation between Primary Key, Unique and Not Null constraint ?Database
Ans. Primary Key constraint means that the column(s) should be unique and doesn't allow null. So Primary key constraint implies unique and not null constraint too.

Unique constraint implies not null constraint too as allowing null would violate uniqueness on those columns.

 Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :   

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     database constraint


 Q472. What is a unique constraint ?Database
Ans. Unique constraint ensures that a columns or combination or columns are always unique in a table and hence doesn't allow null or duplicates to be entered for the column or combination of columns.

 Q475. What is ConstraintViolationException in Hibernate ?Hibernate
Ans. The exception is thrown when a database constraint is violated.

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     ConstraintViolationException


 Q476. What do you make out of this error

org.hibernate.exception.ConstraintViolationException: could not insert: [<Entity>]
Caused by: java.sql.SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: ORA-00001: unique constraint (<Constraint Name>) violated

and how would you go about debugging it ?
Database
Ans. Application is unable to insert a record as it violates a unique constraint.

The exception states the constraint and Table can be located by the Entity mapping. So I will go to the DB and will first check to which all columns the unique constraint applies. And then I will go and check the code and logs to see how come the duplicate column values were attempted to be inserted when they were not supposed to be.

 Q477. Does null and empty value for a column in Table means same ?Database
Ans. No.

Null value means that the value is yet to be assigned or need not be assigned whereas empty value means that the blank value has already been assigned once. Null is the default for the null able columns that hasn't be assigned any value.

 Q478. Is it a good practice to override static methods ?Design
Ans. Though it's useful but it's not as useful as overriding member or object methods. We cannot achieve polymorphic behavior with static methods by overriding their definition in derived class.

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     override static methods


 Q479. Why it's a good practice to expose member elements through getter methods ?Design
Ans. Encapsulation and Polymorphism.

We need methods to access variables in a polymorphic way as overriding only happens with methods and not with variables. Moreover getter provides a way to minimally open the access window for the object and hence provides better encapsulation. To add to those, we can have validation in the getter method before returning elements.

 Q480. Which are the most commonly used Design Patterns ?Design

Chain Of Responsibility ( Logging )
Singleton
Factory ( Action Mapping )
Proxy
Observer ( Event Listener )
MVC ( Web frameworks )
Filter ( Criteria )
