well-prepared for both fundamental and advanced discussions.
 Unit I: Core Java & Networking

Socket Programming

Q1: What is socket programming in Java?

A1: Socket programming enables communication between two machines over a network. Java
provides the Socket and ServerSocket classes for client-server communication using TCP/IP protocols.

Q2: Differentiate between TCP and UDP protocols.

A2: TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is connection-oriented, ensuring reliable data transfer with
error checking and acknowledgment. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is connectionless, faster, but
doesn't guarantee delivery or order.

Q3: How does the TCP handshake process work?

A3: The TCP handshake involves three steps: the client sends a SYN (synchronize) packet, the server
responds with SYN-ACK (synchronize-acknowledge), and the client replies with an ACK
(acknowledge), establishing a connection.Java Code Geeks

Q4: What classes are used for socket programming in Java?

A4: Java provides Socket for client-side communication and ServerSocket for server-side
communication. For UDP, DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket are used.

Q5: What exceptions might occur during socket programming?

A5: Common exceptions include IOException, UnknownHostException, and SocketException, which
handle input/output errors, unknown host errors, and socket-related issues, respectively.

Applet Programming

Q6: What is an applet in Java?

A6: An applet is a Java program that runs within a web browser, extending the Applet class. It is used
to create dynamic and interactive web applications.

Q7: Describe the lifecycle methods of an applet.

A7: The lifecycle includes: init() for initialization, start() to begin execution, stop() to suspend
execution, and destroy() for cleanup before unloading.snowdream.github.io

Q8: How does an applet differ from a standalone application?

A8: Applets run within a browser and have restricted access to system resources for security,
whereas standalone applications run directly on the JVM with full access to system resources.

Q9: Can applets communicate with servers?

A9: Yes, applets can communicate with servers using network classes like Socket, URL, and
URLConnection.

Q10: Why are applets considered obsolete in modern web development?

A10: Due to security concerns, lack of support in modern browsers, and the rise of alternative
technologies like JavaScript and HTML5, applets are now largely obsolete.
 Multithreading

Q11: What is multithreading in Java?

A11: Multithreading is the concurrent execution of two or more threads (lightweight subprocesses)
to maximize CPU utilization and improve application performance.

Q12: How can you create a thread in Java?

Terminated.DigitalOcean

Q14: What is the difference between synchronized method and synchronized block?
A14: A synchronized method locks the entire method, preventing concurrent access. A synchronized
block allows finer control by locking only a specific section of code.Medium

Q15: What are wait(), notify(), and notifyAll() methods?

A15: These methods are used for inter-thread communication. wait() causes the current thread to
wait until another thread invokes notify() or notifyAll() on the same object.Medium

Unit II: Java Beans & Servlets

(the bean). EJBs are server-side components that encapsulate business logic of an application.

Q18: What are the types of Enterprise Java Beans?

A18: The three types are: Stateless Session Beans, Stateful Session Beans, and Entity Beans.

Q19: What are the advantages of using Java Beans?

A19: They promote reusability, encapsulation, and can be manipulated in visual development
environments.

Q20: How are properties defined in a Java Bean?

A20: Properties are defined using private variables with public getter and setter methods to access
and modify them.

Servlets
Q21: What is a servlet?
A21: A servlet is a Java class that handles HTTP requests and generates responses, typically used to
create dynamic web content.

Q22: Describe the lifecycle of a servlet.

A22: The lifecycle includes: init() for initialization, service() to handle requests, and destroy() for
cleanup before the servlet is taken out of service.

Q23: How do you handle HTTP GET and POST requests in a servlet?
A23: By overriding the doGet() and doPost() methods of the HttpServlet class to handle GET and
POST requests, respectively.
