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.

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.

Q1184. 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.

Q1186. 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.

Ans. Multi Level Inheritance is multi level hierarchy of classes. Here is the example - http://www.buggybread.com/2015/09/java-se-class-diagram-classes-that_603.html
Class RoleList extends ArrayList which in turn extends AbstractList which in turn extends AbstractCollection.

if classes B and C extends Class A, Which of the following initialization is correct ?
B b = new C();
C c = new B();
B b = new A();
A a = new B();
Q1188. When do we generally get the database error - Unique Constraint Violated ?
Ans. This error can result either on an insert, update or delete when any change in data results in duplicate record or subset of it having unique constraint on record or its subset. For example - If we have a unique constraint on a combination of columns and then trying to insert duplicate column values.

Q1190. What is the difference between following two if blocks ?
if(x < 10)
do this;
else if(x > 10)
do that;
else
do this and that;
if(x < 10)
do this;
if(x > 10)
do that;
if(x == 10)
do this and that;
Ans. Though Logically both code segments are same, but first one is more efficient as the 3 checks are mutually exclusive. In second code segment, all conditions will be evaluated no matter what and will never result in short circuit. In first segment , max 2 conditions will be checked if x >= 10.

Ans. Audit Tables generally stores Raw information to be reviewed in case of problems or determining impact. If Database space is an issue , and the audit information is rarely retrieved, one design could be to use compressed file system.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. When a DML is executed, the changes only stays in session and still not pushed to DB Tables, Commit is used to push those changes to the Tables.
In case we realize that we don't want to commit those changes and would like to ignore them, we can use rollback.
For example - You may like that for a banking transaction you would like to update the account balance only if the debit or credit record was correctly inserted, so you may like to encapsulate both DML's - insert for transaction and update for balance in a single transaction and would only commit if both succeeds else rollback.

Q1194. Can I run a java program without creating any class ?
Ans. No, It requires creation of atleast one Class. Creating an object of that class is not compulsory as we can write all our logic within main method which is static.

Q1195. What is the difference between print() and println() in Java ?
Ans. print method prints the argument passed to the method whereas println prints the argument and then prints the new line character. println is generally used if we want each output in a new line.

Ans. Constructor has the same name as class name whereas instance initialization block just have a body without any name or visibility type.
instance initialization blocks are useful if we want to have some code run regardless of which constructor is used or if we want to do some instance initialization for anonymous classes.
