 Q1. Difference between XSS and CSRF ?Security
Ans. SRF attack requires an authenticated session, whereas an XSS attack doesn’t.
XSS doesn’t require any user interaction.CSRF is restricted to the actions the victim can perform.
XSS requires a vulnerability to happen, whereas CSRF relies on tricking the user to click a link or access a page.
CSRF can only send an HTTP request but cannot view the response. XSS can send and receive HTTP requests and responses to extract the required data.

 Q17. Difference beween HashSet and TreeSet ?Core Java
Ans. 1. HashSet doesnt maintain its elements in any specific order and is all random whereas TreeSet maintains elements in natural order 9 order defined by the equals method of TreeSet element type )

2. TreeSet doesnt allow null elements whereas HashMap does.

3. As TreeSet orders elements and is hence insertion is comparatively slower.

4. HashSet performs basic operations like add(), remove(), contains(), size() etc. in a constant size time. A TreeSet performs these operations at the order of log(n) time.

5. HashMap in Java internally backs a HashSet. A NavigableMap backs a TreeSet internally.

Basic and Very Frequently asked.
  Q18. What is Polymorphism in Java ?Core Java
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.

 Q19. 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 )

  Q20. What is the difference between List, Set and Map ?

or

What are the different Java Collections Interfaces ?
Core Java
Ans. List - Members are stored in sequence in memory and can be accessed through index.
Set - There is no relevance of sequence and index. Sets doesn't contain duplicates whereas multiset can have duplicates.
Map - Contains Key , Value pairs.

 Q21. Explain Set Interface?Core Java
Ans. It is a collection of element which cannot contain duplicate elements. The Set interface contains only methods inherited from Collection and adds the restriction that duplicate elements are prohibited.

 Q22. What is the best practice configuration usage for files - pom.xml or settings.xml ?Maven
Ans. The best practice guideline between settings.xml and pom.xml is that configurations in settings.xml must be specific to the current user and that pom.xml configurations are specific to the project.

 Q23. What ate the getter and setter methods ?
Ans. getters and setters methods are used to store and manipulate the private variables in java beans. A getters as it has name, suggest retrieves the attribute of the same name. A setters are allows you to set the values of the attributes.

 Q24. Can we use Ordered Set for performing Binary Search ?

 Q25. What is comparator interface used for ?Core Java
Ans. The purpose of comparator interface is to compare objects of the same class to identify the sorting order. Sorted Collection Classes ( TreeSet, TreeMap ) have been designed such to look for this method to identify the sorting order, that is why class need to implement Comparator interface to qualify its objects to be part of Sorted Collections.

 Q27. Why are Getter and Setter better than directly changing and retrieving fields ?

or

What is the significance of variable hiding in Java ?

or

Why it's preferred to keep variables private and allow their access through getter and setter methods ?
Core Java
Ans. 1. Methods can participate in runtime polymorphism whereas member variables cannot.

For example -

Vehicle vehicle = new Car();

car.getObjVariable();// will return variable defined in Car

whereas

car.variable

will return the variable from Car class irrespective of the object it holds.

2. Validations can be performed before setting the variables.

3. If the input format changes or some other value or calculated value needs to be returned , that can be absorbed by making change ( wrapping ) in the setter and getter. By this the call to method from outside or interface to the object will remain the same.

Very frequently asked. Favorite question in Walk in Drive of many Indian service companies.
  Q28. What is the difference between ArrayList and LinkedList ?Core Java
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.

Frequently asked question in companies using Hibernate.
  Q29. What is Lazy Initialization in Hibernate ?Hibernate
Ans. It's a feature to lazily initialize dependencies , relationship and associations from the Database. Any related references marked as @OneToMany or @ManyToMany are loaded lazily i.e when they are accessed and not when the parent is loaded.
