Q1771. If you are supposed to deprecate the method , Will you deprecate the method in the implementation class or will you deprecate the abstract declaration within interface or abstract class ?
Ans. Deprecating the interface / or declaration doesn't make much sense as the implementation is deprecated and not the interface.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. Deprecated annotation is for documentation purpose only. It doesn't enforce anything but would mark the method name as crossed to signify that the client should refrain from using it.

Q1775. Is it advisable to just hold checking in your changes to trunk if there is another release planned in between ?
Ans. If it's just smaller change, and single person is working, then this approach is fine. Otherwise there are risk on loosing it on your machine. Moreover , If there are multiple people working , it makes it hard to share code. It's better to create a separate branch and then merge it later to trunk.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. We creates separate branches for each project if development work is going on parallel and they are to be released at different times. Once the first release is done, we merge the branch changes into trunk. If they all have to go at one time, we usually would merge everything in the trunk itself.

Ans. Request Body in case of Get Request has no meaning and hence it's not parsed when the request is received. Alternatively Request Parameters are passed as either Path Params or Query Params.

Ans. POJO is Plain Java Object that holds only Member Elements , getters are setters and minimal processing on that. The primary purpose of such object is to either transfer information or keeping state for a while. They are not intended to provide any processing or transformation.

Ans. DAO is Data Access Object which is used within Persistence Layer to make Database Transaction. For example , the class holding the Database connection and CRUD methods.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. DTO is Data Transfer Object i.e Pojo which is supposed to move between different layers of software architecture for transferring information. Example could be the object passed from client in case of web service call or the object passed to Persister for Database Persistence.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. Web Service promotes looser coupling but with comes with coding and performance overheads. Jars provide better performance and may be lesser coding but are problematic with update distribution. If the situation doesn't require frequent dependency updates and if it's only read operation of persistence, Having dependencies should be a better choice , otherwise web service.

We cannot use return type void with overloaded methods
Q1789. Why doesn't Java even allow void return types for Constructors ?
Ans. Because having a void return type with the Constructor name will make it as a method name. As methods with the Class names are perfectly legit in Java, It needs some way to recognize the constructor and having none return type helps identify that.

Q1790. Does Constructor returns the reference of the newly created object ?
Ans. No, New operator actually returns the reference of newly created object. Constructor's purpose is to initialize the default state of the object by setting the initial values of the elements and hence returns nothing.

Ans. JRE or Java Runtime Environment is the Java Virtual Machine on which class files are executed. It includes borwser plugins that facilitates execution of class files in browsers.
JDK or Java Development Kit includes JRE , compiler and development tools.

Q1793. What will happen if we have our own constructor but only initialize some of the member elements ?
Ans. Its always advisable to initialize all the member elements in case we don't use the compiler's default constructor as leftover member elements will have garbage values and may reflect and unstable state for the object.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Q1794. Is it advisable to set the member variables through constructors instead of setting them through setters ?
Ans. Yes , If the values to be set are known at the time of initialization and doesn't involve polymorphic behavior.If it's using Dependency Injection , then Constructor injection must be available. If it suffice the above conditions, then definitely its advisable to have them set through constructor as they eagerly load the values into the memory and save it fro multiple values assignment ( one through default constructor and then through assignment )
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. Fail fast systems are intolerant systems that fails at the first instance of smelling any problem. The objective here is to break the system instead of continuing with the possibly flawed processing. Example could be breaking the processing upon an exception.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. Fail Safe systems are tolerant systems that continue processing even if they sense any problem. the objective here is to continue with the processing even if there are some problems instead of completely shutting it down. Example could be to catch an exception and still letting it complete with partial results.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. Fail-fast iterators detect illegal concurrent modification during iteration and fail quickly and cleanly rather than risking arbitrary, non deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in future. Example could be of an Iterator failing if it smells ConcurrentModificationException.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. Deployment Descriptor which is usually web.xml is used to specify the classes, resources and configuration of the application and how the web server uses them to serve web requests.This file is usually added to WEB-INF folder and contains following
* Servlet entries and url mapping
* Plugins
* Some info regarding authentication / filters
* Landing Page
* Event Handlers
