Ans. "equals" is the method of object class which is supposed to be overridden to check object equality, whereas "==" operator evaluate to see if the object handlers on the left and right are pointing to the same object in memory. x.equals(y) means the references x and y are holding objects that are equal. x==y means that the references x and y have same object. Sample code: String x = new String("str"); String y = new String("str"); System.out.println(x == y); // prints false System.out.println(x.equals(y)); // prints true | ||||

Ans. Composition - has-a relationship between objects. Inheritance - is-a relationship between classes. Composition - Composing object holds a reference to composed objects and hence relationship is loosely bound. Inheritance - Derived object carries the base class definition in itself and hence its tightly bound. Composition - Used in Dependency Injection Inheritance - Used in Runtime Polymorphism Composition - Single class objects can be composed within multiple classes. Inheritance - Single class can only inherit 1 Class. Composition - Its the relationship between objects. Inheritance - Its the relationship between classes. | ||||

Ans. OOPs or Object Oriented Programming is a Programming model which is organized around Objects instead of processes. Instead of a process calling series of processes, this model stresses on communication between objects. Objects that all self sustained, provide security by encapsulating it's members and providing abstracted interfaces over the functions it performs. OOP's facilitate the following features 1. Inheritance for Code Reuse 2. Abstraction for modularity, maintenance and agility 3. Encapsulation for security and protection 4. Polymorphism for flexibility and interfacing | ||||

Ans. 1.Abstraction solves the problem at design level while encapsulation solves the problem at implementation level 2.Abstraction is used for hiding the unwanted data and giving relevant data. while Encapsulation means hiding the code and data into a single unit to protect the data from outside world. 3. Abstraction lets you focus on what the object does instead of how it does it while Encapsulation means hiding the internal details or mechanics of how an object does something. 4.For example: Outer Look of a Television, like it has a display screen and channel buttons to change channel it explains Abstraction but Inner Implementation detail of a Television how CRT and Display Screen are connect with each other using different circuits , it explains Encapsulation. | ||||

Ans. final - constant variable, objects cannot be de-referenced, restricting method overriding, restricting class sub classing. finally - handles exception. The finally block is optional and provides a mechanism to clean up regardless of what happens within the try block. Use the finally block to close files or to release other system resources like database connections, statements etc. finalize() - method helps in garbage collection. A method that is invoked before an object is discarded by the garbage collector, allowing it to clean up its state. | ||||

Ans. Underlying data structure for ArrayList is Array whereas LinkedList is the linked list and hence have following differences - 1. ArrayList needs continuous memory locations and hence need to be moved to a bigger space if new elements are to be added to a filled array which is not required for LinkedList. 2. Removal and Insertion at specific place in ArrayList requires moving all elements and hence leads to O(n) insertions and removal whereas its constant O(1) for LinkedList. 3. Random access using index in ArrayList is faster than LinkedList which requires traversing the complete list through references. 4. Though Linear Search takes Similar Time for both, Binary Search using LinkedList requires creating new Model called Binary Search Tree which is slower but offers constant time insertion and deletion. 5. For a set of integers you want to sort using quicksort, it's probably faster to use an array; for a set of large structures you want to sort using selection sort, a linked list will be faster. | ||||

Ans. 1. Overriding method can not be more restrictive than the overridden method. reason : in case of polymorphism , at object creation jvm look for actual runtime object. jvm does not look for reference type and while calling methods it look for overridden method. If by means subclass were allowed to change the access modifier on the overriding method, then suddenly at runtime when the JVM invokes the true objects version of the method rather than the reference types version then it will be problematic 2. In case of subclass and superclass define in different package, we can override only those method which have public or protected access. 3. We can not override any private method because private methods can not be inherited and if method can not be inherited then method can not be overridden. | ||||

Ans. Polymorphism means the condition of occurring in several different forms. Polymorphism in Java is achieved in two manners 1. Static polymorphism is the polymorphic resolution identified at compile time and is achieved through function overloading whereas 2. Dynamic polymorphism is the polymorphic resolution identified at runtime and is achieved through method overriding. | ||||

Ans. Abstract classes can have both abstract methods ( method declarations ) as well as concrete methods ( inherited to the derived classes ) whereas Interfaces can only have abstract methods ( method declarations ). A class can extend single abstract class whereas it can implement multiple interfaces. | ||||

Ans. String pool (String intern pool) is a special storage area in Java heap. When a string is created and if the string already exists in the pool, the reference of the existing string will be returned, instead of creating a new object and returning its reference. | ||||

Ans. The Java runtime environment deletes objects when it determines that they are no longer being used. This process is known as garbage collection. The Java runtime environment supports a garbage collector that periodically frees the memory used by objects that are no longer needed. The Java garbage collector is a mark-sweep garbage collector that scans Java dynamic memory areas for objects, marking those that are referenced. After all possible paths to objects are investigated, those objects that are not marked (i.e. are not referenced) are known to be garbage and are collected. | ||||

Ans. 1. First level cache is enabled by default whereas Second level cache needs to be enabled explicitly. 2. First level Cache came with Hibernate 1.0 whereas Second level cache came with Hibernate 3.0. 3. First level Cache is Session specific whereas Second level cache is shared by sessions that is why First level cache is considered local and second level cache is considered global. | ||||

Ans. Inner join is the intersection of two tables on the condition defined by the where clause i.e will get records from both tables matched by a column. Outer join is the union of two tables i.e will get all records from both tables and will put null in the columns where related records are not present. Left Outer join is the left union of two tables i.e all records from the table on the left and values from the right table for related records else null for the columns from right table. Right Outer join is the right union of two tables i.e all records from the table on the right and values from the left table for related records else null for the columns from left table. | ||||

Ans. Storing the state of an object in a file or other medium is called serialization. Classes can communicate only if they are built together ( as they need Byte code for communication ). What if we need to enable communication between different applications ( i.e they have been built independently or even they reside at different locations ), We need a mechanism that will transfer the Bean state to a Medium than can be transferred to the receiving application. | ||||

Ans. There are two types of casting, casting between primitive numeric types and casting between object references. Casting between numeric types is used to convert larger values, such as double values, to smaller values, such as byte values. Casting between object references is used to refer to an object by a compatible class, interface, or array type reference | ||||

Ans. 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: 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 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 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. 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. HttpSession- places a limit on the number of sessions that can exist in memory. | ||||

Ans. JDK(Java Development kit) = Development Kit comprising of JVM , library and development tools for developers JRE (Java Run time Environment) - Comprise of JVM and set of libraries JVM(Java Virtual Machine) = Interpreter which reads the .class file line by line. When we install JDK, JRE also get installed so we can write,compile and excute our code. Used by developer. Without JDK we can only execute the program using JRE. | ||||

Ans. MVC is a Design Pattern that facilititates loose coupling by segregating responsibilities in a Web application 1. Controller receives the requests and handles overall control of the request 2. Model holds majority of the Business logic, and 3. View comprise of the view objects and GUI component | ||||

Ans. Inheritance means a object inheriting reusable properties of the base class. Compositions means that an abject holds other objects. In Inheritance there is only one object in memory ( derived object ) whereas in Composition , parent object holds references of all composed objects. From Design perspective - Inheritance is "is a" relationship among objects whereas Composition is "has a" relationship among objects. | ||||

Ans. REST or Representational State Transfer is a flexible architecture style for creating web services that recommends the following guidelines - 1. http for client server communication, 2. XML / JSON as formatiing language , 3. Simple URI as address for the services and, 4. stateless communication. | ||||

Ans. It is a Design Pattern that facilitates loose coupling by sending the dependency information ( object references of dependent object ) while building the state of the object. Objects are designed in a manner where they receive instances of the objects from other pieces of code, instead of constructing them internally and hence provide better flexibility. | ||||

Ans. A string buffer implements a mutable sequence of characters. A string buffer is like a String, but can be modified. At any point in time it contains some particular sequence of characters, but the length and content of the sequence can be changed through certain method calls. The String class represents character strings. All string literals in Java programs, such as "abc" are constant and implemented as instances of this class; their values cannot be changed after they are created. | ||||
