75. What is mean by datagram?

Datagram is a type of packet that represents an entire communication. Datagram packet is the class,
which acts as the data container, and datagram socket is a mechanism used to send or receive
datagram packets.
76. What is the use of DNS?
Domain naming service (DNS) is used to map one particular IP address to a string of characters.

provides e-mail facility) and NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol acts as a bulletin board for
sharing news).
80. What is the method of datagram packet?
Methods:
Send (Datagram packet d) dispatches the given datagram packet object.
Receive (Datagram packet p) receives the given datagram packet object.
Close () closes the socket connection.
81. Explain runnable.
Runnable defines only one abstract method, called run(), which is the entry point to the thread.
Threads that are created by the user must implement abstract void run() method.
82. Explain the interfaces of java.lang.
The java.lang package contains three interfaces namely clone able, comparable, and runnable.
83. What is a package class?
Package class is one that encapsulates version data associated with a package. Since it is necessary for the
java program to know what version of a package is available, package version information is needed.
84. Give the three components of collection frameworks.
Collection frameworks are composed of three components. They are:
Interfaces abstract data types representing collections
Implementations these are the actual execution of the interfaces
Algorithms these are methods that perform computation on objects that implement the interfaces.
85.Define socket. (AU NOV DEC 2012)
A socket is a connection between two hosts. It can perform following basic operations:
a. Connect to a remote machine
b. Send data
c. Receive data
d. Close a connection
e. Bind to a port
f. Listen for incoming data
86. Describe secret key encryption.
In this, the same key is used both to encrypt and decrypt the data. Both the sender and receiver have to
possess the single key.
87. Describe public key encryption.
In this, different keys are used to encrypt and decrypt the data. One key, called the public key, is used to
encrypt the data. This key can be given to anyone. A different key, called the private key, is used to
decrypt the data. This must be kept secret but needs to be possessed by only one of the correspondents.
88. Write about TCP. (AU NOV DEC 2012)
TCP is designed for reliable transmission of data. If data is lost or damaged in transmission, TCP ensures
that the data is resent; if packets of data arrive out of order, TCP puts them back in the correct order; if the
data is coming too fast for the connection, TCP throttles the speed back so that packets will not be lost.
89. Write about get methods in the DatagramPacket class.
DatagramPacket has five methods that retrieve different parts of a datagram: the actual data plus several
fields from its header. These methods are mostly used for data grams we receive from the network.
public InetAddress getAddress()
public int getPort()

public byte[] getData()

public int getLength()
public int getOffset()
90. Write about set methods in the DatagramPacket class.
public void setData(byte[] data)
public void setData(byte[] data, int offset, int length)
public void setAddress(InetAddress remote)
public void setPort(int port)
public void setLength(int length)
91. Describe SO_TIMEOUT socket option.
SO_TIMEOUT is the amount of time, in milliseconds, that receive () waits for an incoming datagram
before throwing an InterruptedIOException. Its value must be non-negative. If SO_TIMEOUT is 0,
receive () never times out. This value can be changed with the setSoTimeout () method and inspected
with the getSoTimeout () method.
92. Describe SO_RCVBUF socket option.
It is closely related to the SO_RCVBUF option of socket. It determines the size of the buffer used for
network I/O. Larger buffers tend to improve performance for reasonably fast connections because they
can store more incoming data grams before overflowing.
Sufficiently large receive buffers are even more important for UDP.
93. Describe unicast socket.
Unicast sockets create a connection with two well-defined endpoints. There is one sender and one
receiver and although they may switch roles, at any given time it is easy to tell which is which.
94. Define multicasting. (AU NOV/DEC 2011)
Multicasting is broader than unicast, point-to-point communication but narrower and more targeted than
broadcast communication. Multicasting sends data from one host to many different hosts, but not to
everyone; the data goes only to clients that have expressed an interest in the data by joining a particular
multicast group.

139. Describe the differences between RMI and RPC.
A remote procedure call (RPC) is a procedural invocation from a process on one machine to a process on
another machine. A remote method invocation in Java takes the RPC concept one step further and allows
for distributed object communications.
140. Describe marshalling and unmarshalling.

Ms.B.NIRMALA ASST.PROFESSOR/CSE

QUESTION BANK

III - CSE

These allow passing parameters, including Java primitives and Java objects, over the network.
Marshalling and Unmarshalling is the process of massaging parameters so that they are usable on the
machine being invoked on remotely. It is the packaging and unpackaging of parameters so that they are
usable in two heterogeneous environments.
141. Define interface and implementation.
The interface defines the exposed information about an object, such as the names of its methods and what
parameters those methods take. The implementation is the core programming logic that an object
provides. It has some very specific algorithms, logic and data
142. Define remote object.
Remote objects are networked object implementation that can be called by another JVM. They implement
a remote interface and thus expose methods that can be invoked by remote clients.
143. Differentiate pass-by-value and pass-by-reference.
When invoking a method using RMI-IIOP, all parameters to the remote method are passed by-value. This
means that when a client calls a server, all parameters are copied from one machine to the other.
When we call a method in Java and pass an object as a parameter, that object is passed by reference. The
reference to the object is copied, but the actual objects data is not.
144. What is object serialization? (AU Nov/Dec 2010) (AU NOV DEC 2012)
Serialization is the conversion of a Java object into a bit-blob representation of that object.
145. Mention some rules for serialization.
Java serialization has the following rules for member variables held in serialized objects:
a. Any basic primitive type (int, char, and so on) is automatically serialized with the object
and is available when deserialized.
b. Java objects can be included with the serialized bit-blob or not.
146. Describe RMI IIOP.
Java RMI IIOP (which stands for Java Remote Method Invocation over the Internet Inter ORB
Protocol) is J2EEs de facto mechanism for performing simple, powerful networking. It allows writing
distributed objects in Java, enabling objects to communicate in memory, across Java Virtual Machines,
and across physical devices.
147. What is JNDI?
The JNDI is a J2EE API that provides a standard interface for locating users, machines, networks, objects
and services.
148. Describe directory service.
A directory service is a naming service that has been extended and enhanced to provide directory object
operations for manipulating attributes. A directory is a system of directory objects that are all connected.
149. What is DNS?
Domain Name System (DNS) is used to translate a machine name to an IP address. If we look up
wiley.com on the internet, the name wiley.com is translated into the object 199.171.201.14 by the DNS.
150. List out some benefits of JNDI.
a. JNDI insulates the application from protocol and implementation details.

192. Describe JDBC.
JDBC allows programmers to connect to a data base, query it, or update it, using the Structured Query
Language (SQL). Programs developed with the Java programming language and JDBC are platform
independent and vendor independent.
193. Describe JDBC API.
The JDBC consist of two layers. The top layer is the JDBC API. This API communicates with the
JDBC manager driver API, sending it the various SQL statements. The manager should communicate with
the various third-party drivers that actually connect to the database and return the information from the query
or perform the action specified by the query.
194. Classify the JDBC drivers.
JDBC drivers are classified into the following types:
i) A type 1 driver translates JDBC to ODBC and relies on an ODBC driver to communicate with the
database.
ii) A type 2 driver, written partly in the Java programming language and partly in native code that
communicates with the client API of a database.

Ms.B.NIRMALA ASST.PROFESSOR/CSE

QUESTION BANK

III - CSE

iii) A type 3 driver is a pure Java client library that uses a database-independent protocol to
communicate database requests to a server component, which then translates the requests into a
database-specific protocol.
iv) A type 4 driver is a pure Java library that translates JDBC requests directly to a database-specific
protocol.
195. What are the options supported by the Java 2D API. (AU NOV/DEC 2011)

197. Describe simple property. (AU NOV DEC 2012)

A simple property is one that takes a single value such as a string or a number. The fileName
property of the ImageViewer is an example of a simple property.
198. Describe indexed property.
An indexed property is one that gets or sets an array. A chart bean would use an indexed property
for the data points. With an indexed property, we supply two pairs of get and set methods: one for the array
and one for individual entries.
199. Define virtual machine. (AU NOV DEC 2012)
A Java programming language compiler converts source into the machine language of a
hypothetical machine, called the virtual machine. The virtual machine code is stored in a class file with a
.class extension.
200. Define permission.
Permission is any property that is checked by a security manager. The JDK1.2 implementation
supports a number of permission classes, each of which encapsulates the details of a particular permission.
201. Describe thread. (AU NOV/DEC 2011)
Threads are lightweight process handling the connections instead of using heavyweight processes.
Whereas each separate process has its own block of memory, threads are easier on resources because
they share memory.

255. Write about J2EE. (AU NOV/DEC 2011)
The mission of J2EE is to provide a platform-independent, portable, multiuser, secure and standard
enterprise class platform for server-side deployments written in the Java language.
256. What is a session bean?(AU NOV DEC 2012)
A session bean is a relatively short-lived component. It has roughly the lifetime equivalent of a session or
lifetime of the client code that is calling the session bean.
256. What is a stateful session bean? (AU NOV DEC 2012)
A stateful session bean is a bean that is designed to service business processes that span multiple method
requests or transactions. To accomplish this, stateful session beans retain state on behalf of an individual
client.
257. What is a stateless session bean? (AU NOV DEC 2012)
A stateless session bean is a bean that holds conversations that span a single method call. They are
stateless because they do not hold multihomed conversations with their clients.
258. Define passivation.
To limit the number of stateful session bean instances in memory, the container can swap out a stateful
bean, saving its conversational state to a hard disk or other storage. This is called passivation.
259. Define activation.
After passivating a stateful bean, the conversational state is safely stored away, allowing resources
like memory to be reclaimed. When the original client invokes a method, the passivated conversational
state is swapped in to a bean. This is called activation.
260. What is an entity bean?
Entity beans are persistent objects that can be stored in permanent storage. This means that we can
model our business fundamental, underlying data as entity beans.
261. What is an object-relational mapping?
The mapping of objects to relational databases is a technology called object-relational mapping. It is the
act of converting and unconverting in-memory objects to relational data.
262. Define ODBMS and OQL.
An object database management system is a persistent store that holds entire objects.
An object query language is a nice high-level interface that allows query object properties for arbitrary
characteristics. It also adds a layer of abstraction from relational database queries.
263. Define transaction.(AU NOV DEC 2011)
A transaction is a series of operations that appear to execute as one large, atomic operation. It allows
multiple users to share the same data and guarantee that any set of data they update will be completely
and wholly written, with no interleaving of updates from other clients.
264. What is a flat transaction?
A flat transaction is the simplest transactional model to understand. A flat transaction is a series of
operations that are performed atomically as a single unit of work. After a flat transaction begins, our
application can perform any number of operations. Some may be persistent operations, and some may
not.
