About the Written Test
In written test they gave the question paper consisting of 20 questions in which about 10-12questions are on
core java. 2-3 questions on servlets and 2-3questions on jsps and
1-2 questions on struts and 1question on spring.
In this round I got around 19marks and

5)write a program on userdefined exceptions or custom exceptions?

6)write a program to print given no is prime or not?

7)What is First and Second Level caching in Hibernate?
First-level cache always Associates with the Session object.
Hibernate uses this cache by default. Here, it processes one transaction after another one,
means wont process one transaction many times. Mainly it reduces the number of SQL queries it needs to
generate within a given transaction. That is instead of updating after every modification done in the
transaction,
it updates the transaction only at the end of the transaction.
1.2) Second-level cache
Second-level cache always associates with the Session Factory object. While running the transactions, in
between it loads the objects at the Session Factory level,
so that those objects will available to the entire application, dont bounds to single user.
Since the objects are already loaded in the cache, whenever an object is returned by the query,
at that time no need to go for a database transaction.
In this way the second level cache works. Here we can use query level cache also. Later we will discuss
about it.
1)what is map?
a)A Map is an object that maps keys to values. A map cannot contain duplicate keys:
Each key can map to at most one value.
It models the mathematical function abstraction. The Map interface follows.
2)what is connection pooling?
a)It's a technique to allow multiple clinets to make use of a cached set
of shared and reusable connection objects providing access to a database.
Connection Pooling feature is supported only on J2SDK 1.4 and later releases.
3)what is iterator how to use hashmap?
4)what is lazyloding()
5)what is diapatchaction?
6)what is garbagecollection?
a)When a Java object becomes unreachable to the program, then
it is subjected to garbage collection. The main use of
garbage collection is to identify and discard objects that
are no longer needed by a program so that their resources
can be reclaimed and reused.
7)what is jvm?
a)JVM is the main component of Java architecture and it is the part of
the JRE (Java Runtime Enviroment) . It provides the cross platform functionality to java.
This is a software process that converts the compiled Java byte code to machine code.
8)what is context?
a)public interface Context
This interface represents a naming context, which consists of a set of name-to-object bindings.
It contains methods for examining and updating these bindings.
Names
