CS6501 - Internet programming

Unit- I

Part - A
1 What are the features of Java programming language?
Java is a programming language expressly designed for use in the distributed environment of the Internet. It was
designed to have the "look and feel" of the C++ language, but it is simpler to use than C++ and enforces an object-
oriented programming model.
2. What is a Class?
Class is a template for a set of objects that share a common structure and a common behaviour.
3. What is an Object?
Object is an instance of a class. It has state,behaviour and identity. It is also called as an instance of a class.
4. What is an Instance?
An instance has state, behaviour and identity. The structure and behaviour of similar classes are defined in their
common class. An instance is also called as an object.
5. What are different types of access modifiers (Access specifiers)?
Access specifiers are keywords that determine the type of access to the member of a class. These keywords are
for allowing privilegesto parts of a program such as functions and variables. These are: public: Anything declared
as public can be accessed from anywhere.
private: Anything declared as private can’t be seen outside of its class.
protected: Anything declared as protected can be accessed by classes in the same package and subclasses in the
there packages.
default modifier : Can be accessed only to classes in the same package.
6. What is method overloading and method overriding?
Method overloading: When a method in a class having the same method name with different arguments is said to
be method overloading.
Method overriding: When a method in a class having the same method name with same arguments is said to be
method overriding.
7. List the access specifier used in JAVA?
Java provides a number of access modifiers to set access levels for classes, variables, methods and constructors.
The four access levels are:
• Visible to the package. the default. No modifiers are needed.
• Visible to the class only (private).
• Visible to the world (public).
• Visible to the package and all subclasses (protected).
8. What is the difference between Array and vector?
Array is a set of related data type and static whereas vector is a growable array of objects and dynamic
9. What is a package?
A package is a collection of classes and interfaces that provides a high-level layer of access protection and name
space management.
10. What is meant by Inheritance?
Inheritance is a relationship among classes, wherein one class shares the structure or behaviour defined in
another class. This is called Single Inheritance. If a class shares the structure or behaviour from multiple classes,
then it is called Multiple Inheritance. Inheritance defines “is-a” hierarchy among classes in which one subclass

inherits from one or more generalised superclasses.

11. What is an Abstract Class?
Abstract class is a class that has no instances. An abstract class is written with the expectation that its concrete
subclasses will add to its structure and behaviour, typically by implementing its abstract operations.
12. What are inner class and anonymous class?
Inner class: classes defined in other classes, including those defined in methods are called inner classes. An inner
class can have any accessibility including private.
Anonymous class: Anonymous class is a class defined inside a method without a name and is instantiated and
declared in the same place and cannot have explicit constructors.
13. Define interface and write the syntax of the Interface.
Interface is an outside view of a class or object which emphaizes its abstraction while hiding its structure and
secrets of its behaviour.
Syntax:
[visibility] interface InterfaceName [extends other interfaces] {
constant declarations
abstract method declarations
}
14. What is the difference between abstract class and interface?
a) All the methods declared inside an interface are abstract whereas abstract class must have at least one
abstract method and others may be concrete or abstract.
b) In abstract class, key word abstract must be used for the methods whereas interface we need not use that
keyword for the methods.
c) Abstract class must have subclasses whereas interface can’t have subclasses.
15. What is an exception?
An exception is an event, which occurs during the execution of a program, which disrupts the normal flow of the
program's instructions.
16. What is meant by JAVA package?(Nov/Dec 2014)
Package represents a collection of classes, methods and interface. The name of the package must be written as
the first statement in the java source program.The syntax of specifying the package in the java program
is:package name_of_package
17. What are the types of Exceptions in Java?
There are two types of exceptions in Java, unchecked exceptions and checked exceptions.
Checked exceptions: A checked exception is some subclass of Exception (or Exception itself), excluding class
RuntimeException and its subclasses. Each method must either handle all checked exceptions by supplying a
catch clause or list each unhandled checked exception as a thrown exception.
Unchecked exceptions:All Exceptions that extend the RuntimeException class are unchecked exceptions. Class
Error and its subclasses also are unchecked.
18. What are the different ways to handle exceptions?
There are two ways to handle exceptions:
• Wrapping the desired code in a try block followed by a catch block to catch the exceptions.
• List the desired exceptions in the throws clause of the method and let the caller of the method handle those
exceptions.
19. How to create custom exceptions? By Extending
the Exception class or one of its subclasses.
class MyException extends Exception {
public MyException() { super(); }

 www.rejinpaul.com
www.rejinpaul.com

public MyException(String s) { super(s);

} }
20. Write the properties of Threads.(Nov/Dec 2014).
• Thread Priority
• Deamon Thread
• Thread group
21. What is multi-threaded programming?(Nov/Dec 2014)
Multithreading is the ability of a program or an operating system process to manage its use by more than one
user at a time and to even manage multiple requests by the same user without having to have multiple copies of
the programming running in the computer.
22. Write the life cycle of thread.
A thread goes through various stages in its life cycle. For example, a thread is born, started, runs, and then dies.
Following diagram shows complete life cycle of a

thread.
23. What is daemon thread and which method is used to create the daemon thread?
A daemon thread is a thread, that does not prevent the JVM from exiting when the program finishes but the
thread is still running. An example for a daemon thread is the garbage collection. You can use the setDaemon()
method to change the Thread daemon properties
24. What is the purpose of toString() method in java ?
The toString() method returns the string representation of any object. If you print any object, java compiler
internally invokes the toString() method on the object. So overriding the toString() method, returns the desired
output, it can be the state of an object etc. depends on your implementation.
25. What is immutable string in java?
In java, string objects are immutable. Immutable simply means unmodifiable or unchangeable.Once string object
is created its data or state can't be changed but a new string object is created.
Eg:
class Testimmutablestring{
public static void main(String args[]){
String s="Sachin";
s.concat(" Tendulkar");//concat() method appends the string at the end
System.out.println(s);//will print Sachin because strings are immutable objects
}

26. Define assert .

Java assertion feature allows developer to put "assert" statements in Java source code to help unit testing and
debugging.
An "assert" statement has the following format:
assert boolean_expression : string_expression;
When this statement is executed:
If boolean_expression evaluates to true, the statement will pass normally.
If boolean_expression evaluates to false, the statement will fail with an "AssertionError" exception.
27. Define Applet.
An applet is a small Internet-based program written in Java, a programming language for the Web, which can be
downloaded by any computer. The applet is also able to run in HTML. The applet is usually embedded in an HTML
page on a Web site and can be executed from within a browser.
28. Define transient and volatile Modifiers.
Java defines two interesting type modifiers: transient and volatile. These modifiers are usedto handle somewhat
specialized situations. When an instance variable is declared as transient, then its value need not persist when an
object is stored. For example:
class T {
transient int a; // will not persist
int b; // will persist
}
Here, if an object of type T is written to a persistent storage area, the contents of a would not be saved, but the
contents of b would.
29. What is use of the run-time operator instanceof ?
The instanceof operator has this general form:
objref instanceof type
Here, objref is a reference to an instance of a class, and type is a class type. If objref is of the specified type or can
be cast into the specified type, then the instanceof operator evaluates to true. Otherwise, its result is false. Thus,
instanceof is the means by which your program canobtain run-time type information about an object
30. How to Enabling and Disabling Assertion Options?
When executing code, you can disable assertions by using the -da option. You can enable or disable a
specific package by specifying its name after the -ea or -da option. For example, to enable assertions in a package
called MyPack, use
-ea:MyPack
To disable assertions in MyPack, use
-da:MyPack
31. Define String Constructors.
The String class supports several constructors. To create an empty String, you call the default
constructor. For example,
String s = new String();
will create an instance of String with no characters in it. Frequently, you will want to create strings that have
initial values. The String class provides a variety of constructors to handle this. To create a String initialized by an
array of characters, use the constructor shown here:
String(char chars[ ])
Here is an example:
char chars[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c' };
String s = new String(chars);
This constructor initializes s with the string “abc”.
32. What are the String Comparison?

Download Useful Materials from Rejinpaul.com

 www.rejinpaul.com
www.rejinpaul.com

The String class includes several methods that compare strings or substrings within strings.
equals( ) and To compare two strings for equality, use equals( ). To perform a
equalsIgnoreCase( ) comparison that ignores case differences, call equalsIgnoreCase( ).
regionMatches( ) The regionMatches( ) method compares a specific region inside a string
with another specificregion in another string.
startsWith( ) and endsWith( ) The startsWith( ) method determines whether a given String begins with a
specified string.
Conversely, endsWith( ) determines whether the String in question ends
with a specifiedstring.
equals( ) Versus == The equals( ) method compares the characters insidea String object. The
== operator compares two object references to see whether they referto
the same instance.
compareTo( ) to simply know whether two strings are identical
33. List the name of methods for modifying string.
• substring( )
• concat( )
• replace( )
• trim( )

Unit-II
Part-A
1. What is web 2.0?
A Web 2.0 site may allow users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as
creators of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to Web sites where people are
limited to the passive viewing of content. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs,
wikis, folksonomies, video sharing sites, hosted services, Web applications, and mashups.
2. Define RIA.
A rich Internet application (RIA) is a Web application designed to deliver the same features and functions
normally associated with deskop applications. RIAs generally split the processing across the
Internet/network divide by locating the user interface and related activity and capability on the client
side, and the data manipulation and operation on the application server side.
3. Define collaboration.
Collaboration is a process defined by the recursive interaction of knowledge and mutual learning between
two or more people who are working together, in an intellectual endeavour, toward a common goal
which is typically creative in nature.
4. List the Collaborations tools.
AnswerGaeden,Thinkature,DotVoting,ePals,Gaggle,Glass,Tricider.
5. What are the collaborative processes.
 Team Creation
 Idea Generation
 Decision-Making
 Work or Production
 Evaluation or Recap
6. Define Web services.
A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a
software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the
concept of utility computing.
7. Write short notes on Software as service(Soas).
SOAs : Software as a service (SaaS), sometimes referred to as "software on demand," is software that is
deployed over the internet and/or is deployed to run behind a firewall on a local area network or personal
computer. With SaaS, a provider licenses an application to customers either as a service on demand,
through a subscription, in a "pay-as-you-go" model, or (increasingly) at no charge.
8. Write short notes on Social networking.
A social network is a social structure made up of a set of social actors (such as individuals or
organizations) and a set of the dyadic ties between these actors. The social network perspective provides
a set of methods for analyzing the structure of whole social entities as well as a variety of theories
explaining the patterns observed in these structures.
9. Define Website.
A website is hosted on at least one web server, accessible via a network such as the Internet or a private
local area network through an Internet address known as a uniform resource locator (URL). All publicly
accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web
10. Differences between web sites and web server.
Website:
A website is a set of linked documents associated with a particular person, organization or topic that is
held on a computer system and can be accessed as part of the world wide web. (Not to be confused with:

Download Useful Materials from Rejinpaul.com

 www.rejinpaul.com
www.rejinpaul.com

Web page, a document on the world wide web written in HTML and displayed in a web browser.)
Web server:
The web server on the other side is a computer program, which delivers content, such as websites or web
pages, for example, over the world wide web from a web server to your computer.
11. Define internet.
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet
protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link several billion devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists
of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope,
linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies.
12. Define intranet.
An intranet is a computer network that uses Internet Protocol technology to share information,
operational systems, or computing services within an organization. This term is used in contrast to
extranet, a network between organizations, and instead refers to a network within an organization.
Sometimes, the term refers only to the organization's internal website, but may be a more extensive part
of the organization's information technology infrastructure, and may be composed of multiple local area
networks. The objective is to organize each individual's desktop with minimal cost, time and effort to be
more productive, cost efficient, timely, and competitive.
13. Differentiate between internet and intranet.
 Internet is general to PCs all over the world whereas Intranet is specific to few PCs.
 Internet has wider access and provides a better access to websites to large population whereas
Intranet is restricted.
 Internet is not as safe as Intranet as Intranet can be safely privatized as per the need.
14. Define HTML.
HTML is a simple web page description language, which enables document creation for the web. HTML is
the set of mark-up symbols or codes placed in a file intended for display on the web browser page. These
mark-up symbol and codes identify structural elements such as paragraphs, heading, and lists. HTML can
be used to place media (such as graphics, video, and audio) on the Web page and describe fill-in-forms. A
method is an implementation of an objects behavior.
15. Explain about HTTP Connection.
It is a communication channel between web browser and web server. It begins on the
client side with the browser sending a request to the web server for a document.
Request Header Fields are
1. From
2. Reference
3. If_modified_since
4. Pragma
5. User Agent
16. Define cascading.
Cascading refers to a certain set of rules that browsers use, in cascading order, to determine how to use
the style information. Such a set of rules is useful in the event of conflicting style information because the
rules would give the browser a way to determine which style is given precedence.
17. State the use of web server logs and list the contents of a message log. (APR/MAY 2011)
A server log is a log file (or several files) automatically created and maintained by a server of activity
performed by it. A typical example is a web server log which maintains a history of page requests. The
W3C maintains a standard format (the Common Log Format) for web server log files, but other
proprietary formats exist.
The message log is used by a number of processes to provide debugging and troubleshooting information.
You can view the message log from the process monitor after clicking on the details hyperlink for a

process and the by clicking on the message log hyperlink in the actions area.
18. How will you create a password field in a HTML form? (NOV/DEC 2011)
<input type=”password” name=”pwd” size=”15”>
19. List any four common browsers. (NOV/DEC 2011)
• Google Chrome
• Netscape Navigator
• Microsoft Internet Explorer
• Mozilla
20. State the uses of internet protocol. (APR/MAY 2012)
• IP function: transfer data from source device to destination device
• IP source software creates a packet representing the data
• Header: source and destination IP addresses, length of data, etc.
• Data: Data itself
21. Define Tags. What are the two different types of tags?
Tags signal the browser to inform about the formatting details.ie how the content shouls be displayed in
the browser screen. Tags are enclosed between “<” and”>”
Standalone tag only start tag is present and no end tag. Example <BR> and container tag have start and
end tag will be present .Example <html>…. </html>
22. What are the rules to define a tag?
Attributes should be placed inside start tag, appears as Name-value pairs separted by blank spaces,
Attributes should have only one value,values should be enclosed within either single(‘) or double (“)
quotes.

23. Differentiate between standalone and container tag.

S.no Standalone Container
1 Only start tag is present and no end tag. Both start and end tag will be present
2 Can have only attributes and no parameters Can have both attributes and parameters.
3 Example:<BR> Example:<html>…..</html>
24. What is the use of <pre> tag in HTML?
The pre tag can be used to preserve the white spaces and lines in the text.
25. What is cellpadding and cell spacing attributes?
The cellpadding allows to have some space between the contents of each cell and its borders. The
distance between each cell is called cell spacing.
26. What is the need of using form in HTML?
Form is a typical layout on the web page by which user can interact with the web page. The components
that can be placed on the form are text box, check box, radio buttons, and push buttons and so on. Thus
form is typically used to create an interactive Graphical User Interface.
27. What is the purpose of using frames in HTML?
The HTML frames allows the web designer to present the web document in multiple views. Using multiple
views one can keep the formation visible and at the same time other views can be scrolled or replaced.
28. What is the need for special character in HTML?
There are some symbols that cannot be used directly in HTML document. For example <(less than)
because this symbol is also used along with the tag. Hence this is called a special symbol and can be
denoted with the help of entity reference.
29. State how an unrecognized element or attribute treated by the HTML document?
If any unrecocognized element or attribute is written then the HTML document simply displays the
contents. For example <title>testing</title> will display the string “testing” on the web page. It will not
display it as a title of the web page.

30. What is the use of hyperlink tag in HTML?

The hyperlink tag is used to link logically with other page. Using this tag a web link can be specified. The
<a> tag is used to specify the hyperlink in HTML.
31. What are the uses of hyperlink in HTML?
To logically link one page with another, use of link to enhance readability of the web document, the
navigation from one page to another is possible.
32. What is BODY in HTML document?
The effects which we want in the window are mentioned with the help of tags in the body. It is the place
where the actual data is written in html. All the changes can be viewed by changing the tags content in
the body whereas the head part is the introduction part and the body is the actual content
part.<BODY>data content</BODY>
33. What is an image map?
An image map allows you to link to several web pages through one image. Simply define shapes within
images and link these to the pages you want. Here’s a video to help you learn more about images
and links in HTML.
34. What are style sheets?
The style sheets are the collection of styles that can be either embedded within the HTML documents or
can be externally applied. The Cascading style sheet is a markup language used to apply the styles to
HTML elements.
35. What is selector string? Specify any three forms of selectors.
The rule set in CSS consists of selector string which is basically an HTML element. These selectors can be
defined with the help of properties and values.
36. What is the use of Universal Selector?
Using the universal selector the values can be defined for all the elements in the document. It is denoted
by *.
37. What is generic class selector?
The generic class applied to any tag in the HTML document. And thus the values defined within that
generic selector can be applied to the corresponding tag. The class selector must be preceded by the dot
operator.
38. What are the advantages of External style sheet?
When we use external style sheet then the style is defined in one file and actual contents of the web are
defined in another file. Hence if we want to change the style of presentation of web page then we can
simply modify the file in which the style is defined.
39. What is the difference the external style sheet and embedded style sheet?
The external style sheet is a kind of style sheet in which the styles are defined in a separate.css file and
this file is mentioned at the beginning of the HTML document. When we need to apply the particular style
to more than one web documents then the external style sheet is used. The embedded style sheet is a
method in which the style is specified within the HTML document itself. It is not defined in separate file.
Due to embedded style sheet unique style can be applied to all the elements.
40. What do you mean by the term inline element?
The inline elements are those elements that do not form new blocks of content. The content is distributed
in lines.
41. What are the various style sheets?
Inline, external, imported and embedded are the different types of style sheets.
42. Explain inline, embedded and external style sheets.
Inline
If only a small piece of code has to be styled then inline style sheets can be used.
Embedded

Download Useful Materials from Rejinpaul.com

 www.rejinpaul.com
www.rejinpaul.com

Embedded style sheets are put between the <head></head> tags.

External
If you want to apply a style to all the pages within your website by changing just one
style sheet, then external style sheets can be used.
43. Give example for inline style sheet. (APR/MAY 2013)
<h2>InLINE CSS</h2>
<p style=”color:sienna;margin-left:20px”>
The style ATTRIBUTE we are able to modify the appearance of HTML elements </p>
44. How will you embed the external style sheet? (May 2014)
In external style sheet is ideal when the style is applied to many pages. With an external style sheet, you
can change the look of an entire Web site by changing just one file.Each page must include a link to the
style sheet with the <link> tag. The <link> tag goes inside the head section:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
An external style sheet can be written in any text editor. The file should not contain any html tags. The
style sheet file must be saved with a .css extension. An example of a style sheet file is shown below:
"myStyle.css":
body {
background-color: lightblue;}
h1 {
color: navy;
margin-left: 20px;}
45. How will you include CSS in a web site? (MAY/JUNE 2014)
Inline
Inline styles are when you just insert the type of style you want inside another tag, using the style
attribute. This is usually the least useful way to use CSS.
<p style="width:100%; color:#660099; text-align:right; background-color:#ffcc00;" >
Embedded
Styles can also be placed in the document using the <style> tag. The <style> tag is usually placed in the
head section of the document, where it will apply to the whole document.
<style><!--
p { color:#009900;
font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif; }
h1 { color:#660000; font-size:12pt; }
</style>
External styles
Styles can also be set in an external style sheet which is linked to the page with a <link> tag. For example
the style sheet for this site is included like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="class.css" />
46. What is the purpose of CSS Box Model and mention its parts also.
The CSS box model is essentially a box that wraps around HTML elements, and it consists of: margins,
borders, padding, and the actual content.
The different parts are:
• Margin
• Border
• Padding
• Content

Unit 3
Part – A
1. What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a platform-independent, event-driven, interpreted client-side scripting language developed by
Netscape Communications Corp. and Sun Microsystems.
2. What are the primitive data types in javascript?
JavaScript supports five primitive data types: number, string, Boolean, undefined, and null. These types are
referred to as primitive typesbecause they are the basic building blocks from which more complex types can be
built. Of the five, only number, string, and Boolean are real data types in the sense of actually storing data.
Undefinedand null are types that arise under special circumstances.
3. What are the Escape Codes Supported in JavaScript?
The Escape codes supported in javascript are \b Backspace,\t Tab (horizontal),
\n Linefeed (newline),\v Tab (vertical),\f Form feed,\r Carriage return,\" Double quote
\' Single quote,\\ Backslash.
4. What is JavaScript name spacing? How and where is it used?
Using global variables in JavaScript is evil and a bad practice. That being said, namespacing is used to
bundle up all your functionality using a unique name. In JavaScript, a namespace is really just an object that
you’ve attached all further methods, properties and objects. It promotes modularity and code reuse in the
application.
5. How many looping structures can you find in javascript?
If you are a programmer, you know the use of loops. It is used to run a piece of code multiple times according to
some particular condition. Javascript being a popular scripting language supports the following loops for, while,
do-while loop
6. Mention the various Java Script Object Models.
Math Object, String Object, Date Object, Boolean and Number Object, Document Object
Window Object.
7. How Scripting Language Is Differs from HTML?
HTML is used for simple web page design, HTML with FORM is used for both form design and Reading input
values from user, Scripting Language is used for Validating the given input values weather it is correct or not, if
the input value is incorrect, the user can pass an error message to the user, Using form concept various controls
like Text box, Radio Button, Command Button, Text Area control and List box can be created.
8. What are the different types of objects in JavaScript?
Type Example Implementation Provided By Governing Standard
User- Programmer defined Programmer None
defined Customer or Circle
Built-in Array, Math The browser via engine its ECMA-262
JavaScript

10. What is the use of pop up boxes in java script?
There are three types of popup boxes used in javascript. Using these popup boxes the user can interact with the
web application.
11. What is DOM?
Document Object Model (DOM) is a set of platform independent and language neutral application interface (API)
which describes how to access and manipulate the information stored in XML, XHTML and javascript documents.
12. Enlist any four mouse events.
The MouseEvent are-mousedown, mouseup, mouseover, mousemove, mouseout.

Validation properties and methods are checkvalidity (), validaionMessage, customerror, patternMismatch,
rangeOverflow, rangeUnderflow, tooLong.
15. Define event bubbling.
Suppose, there is an element present inside another element. Then during the event handling, if the event which
is present in the inner element is handled and then the event of the outer element is handled. This process of
event handling is called event bubbling
16. How to create arrays in Javascript?
We can declare an array like this Var scripts = new Array();
We can add elements to this array like this
scripts[0] = "PHP";
scripts[1] = "ASP";
scripts[2] = "JavaScript";
scripts[3] = "HTML";
Now our array scrips has 4 elements inside it and we can print or access them by using their index number. Note
that index number starts from 0. To get the third element of the array we have to use the index number 2. Here is
the way to get the third element of an array. document. write (scripts[2]); We also can create an array like this
var no_array = new Array(21, 22, 23, 24, 25);
17. Write a simple program in JavaScript to validate the email-id.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function validateForm() {
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["email"].value;
var atpos = x.indexOf("@");
var dotpos = x.lastIndexOf(".");
if (atpos<1 || dotpos<atpos+2 || dotpos+2>=x.length) {
alert("Not a valid e-mail address");
return false;}}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myForm" action="demo_form.asp" onsubmit="return validateForm();" method="post">

interfaces that enable a java program to interact with a database.
19. Write short notes on JDBC drivers.
A JDBC driver is basically an implementation of the function calls specified in the JDBC API for a particular
vendor’s RDBMS. Hence, a java program with JDBC function calls can access any RDBMS that has a JDBC driver
available. A driver manager is used to keep track of all the installed drivers on the system. The operations of
driver manager are getDriver, registerDriver, deregisterDriver.
20. What are the advantages of servlet over CGI?
 Performance is significantly better, servlet execute within the address space of a web server.
 Servlets are platform independent
 The java security manager on the server enforces a set of restrictions to protect the resources on a server
machine.
 The full functionality of java class libraries is available to a servlet.
21. Write down the methods of servlet interface
void destroy() –called when the servlet is unloaded.
ServletConfig getServletConfig() –returns a ServletConfig object that contains any
initialization parameters.
String get ServletInfo() – returns a string describing the servlet.
void init(ServletConfig sc) throws ServletException –called when the servlet is
initialized .Initialization parameters for servlet can be obtained from sc. An unavailable exception should be
thrown if the servlet is not initialized.
Void Service(ServletRequest req,ServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException- Called to process a
request from a client. The request from the client can be read from req. response to the client can be written to
res. An exception is generated if a servlet or IO problem occurs.
22. What is the difference between CGI and servlets?
 Performance is significantly better, servlet execute within the address space of a web server.
 Servlets are platform independent
 The java security manager on the server enforces a set of restrictions to protect the resources on a server
machine.
 The full functionality of java class libraries is available to a servlet.
23. Define Servlet Life Cycle?
 init( ) method - invoked when the servlet is first loaded into memory
 service( ) - called for each HTTP request (for processing)
 destroy( ) - unloads the servlet from its memory.
24. What is JSP?
JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a technology for developing web pages that support dynamic content which helps
developers insert java code in HTML pages by making use of special JSP tags, most of which start with <% and end
with %>.
25. What are advantages of using JSP?
 Performance is significantly better because JSP allows embedding Dynamic Elements in HTML Pages
itself.
 JSP are always compiled before it's processed by the server unlike CGI/Perl which requires the server to
load an interpreter and the target script each time the page is requested.
26. Explain lifecycle of a JSP.

Part - A
1. What is PHP?
PHP - Hypertext Preprocessor -one of the most popular server-side scripting languages for creating
dynamic Web pages.
- an open-source technology
- platform independent
2. List the data types used in PHP.
Data types Description
Integer Whole numbers (i.e., numbers without a decimal point)
Double Real numbers (i.e., numbers containing a decimal point)
String Text enclosed in either single ('') or double ("") quotes.
Boolean True or false
Array Group of elements of the same type
Object Group of associated data and methods
Resource An external data source
3. How type conversion is done in PHP?
In PHP, data-type conversion can be performed by passing the data type as an argument to function
settype. Function settype takes two arguments: The variable whose data type is to be changed and the
variable ’s new data type.
E.g., settype( $testString, "double" );
4. Write the uses of text manipulation with regular expression in PHP.
 PHP processes text data easily and efficiently, enabling straightforward searching, substitution,
extraction and concatenation of strings.
 Text manipulation in PHP is usually done with regular expressions — a series of characters that
serve as pattern-matching templates (or search criteria) in strings, text files and databases.
 This feature allows complex searching and string processing to be performed using relatively
simple expressions
5. List the important characteristics of PHP.
The main characteristics of PHP are:
• PHP is web-specific and open source
• Scripts are embedded into static HTML files
• Fast execution of scripts
• Fast access to the database tier of applications
• Supported by most web servers and operating systems
• Supports many standard network protocols libraries available for IMAP, NNTP, SMTP, POP3
• Supports many database management systems libraries available for UNIX DBM, MySQL, Oracle,
• Dynamic Output any text, HTML XHTML and any other XML file.
• Also Dynamic Output images, PDF files and even Flash m ovies
• Text processing features, from the POSIX Extended or Perl regular expressions to parsing XML
documents.
• A fully featured programming language suitable for complex systems development
6. How to Include PHP in a Web Page?
There are 4 ways of including PHP in a web page
1. <?php echo("Hello world"); ?>

17

www.rejinpaul.com

2. <script language = "php"> echo("Hello world");

</script>
3. <? echo("Hello world"); ?>
4. <% echo("Hello world"); %>
we can also use print instead of echo
• Method (1) is clear and unambiguous
• Method (2) is useful in environments supporting mixed scripting languages in the same HTML
file
• Methods (3) and (4) depend on the server configuration
7. Write a simple PHP Script.
Here is PHP script which is embedded in HTML using level one header with the PHP output
text. The name of this file is called hello.php.
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello world</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><?php echo("Hello world"); ?></h1>
<h1><?php print("This prints the same thing!");?></h1>
</body>
<html>
8. How do you include comments in PHP?
PHP supports three types of comments:
1. Shell style comments - denoted #THIS IS A COMMENT
2. C++ style comments - denoted THIS IS A COMMENT—
3. C style comments - denoted /* ALL THIS COMMENTED! */
9. What are variables in PHP?
Variables start with the $ symbol.
E.g.:
$myInteger = 3;
$myString = "Hello world";
$myFloat = 3.145;
10. How do you declare a variable using PHP data types?
Data types are not explicitly defined:
• Variable type is determined by assignment
• Strings can be defined with single ( ’ ) and double ( ") quotes.
• PHP has a Boolean type:
Defined as false
– An integer or float value of 0 or
– The keyword false
– The empty string ‘‘’’ or the string ‘‘0’’
– An empty array or object
– The NULL value
Defined as true
– Any non-zero integer or float value
– The keyword true
• Standard operators with standard syntax applied to variables
11. How do you declare and initialize an array in PHP?

18

Download Useful Materials from Rejinpaul.com

 www.rejinpaul.com
www.rejinpaul.com

Two ways of declaring and initializing an array:

a) Individual element initialization in an array
$myArray[0]= "Apples";
$myArray[1]= "Bananas";
b) Arrays can be constructed using the array() keyword
$person = array("Dave", "Adam", "Ralph");
12. What are associative arrays in PHP?
$myArray["Monday"]= "Apples";
$myArray["Tuesday"]= "Bananas";
Associative Arrays can also be constructed using the array( ) keyword.
$food = array("Monday"=>"Apples","Tuesday"=> "Bananas");
The symbol => delimits the hash name from the hash value.
13. What is the scope of variables in PHP?
Once PHP variables have been defined they are known for the rest of the Web page:
• Obeying standard scoping rules of course.
• Variables can be local to functions etc, much like any languages.
14. List some built in functions in PHP.
Mathematical functions:- abs, ceil, cos, log, min, rand, sqrt
File handling:- fopen, flock, feof, fgets, fputs, fclose
15. List the PHP standard Flow-controls statements

17. List the functions to create a pattern.
Preg_match,
Preg_matchall,
Preg_replace,

19. What is cookie? Give example in PHP
A cookie is a text string stored on the client machine by your script (to track users and manage
transactions). Cookies are automatically returned (by the client), and can be accessed using a variable
of the same name
• The following script reads and displays a cookie, and sets it with a new value (string) that was passed
to the script as a parameter.
• The cookie will expire after 20 minutes (1200 seconds)
<?php setCookie("CookieTest", $val, time()+1200); ?>
<html>
<head><title>Welcome</title></head>
<body>
<?php echo("<h2>The cookie is: $CookieTest</h1>
</body>
</html>
20. What is XML ?
Extensible markup language. It offer a standard, flexible and inherently extensible data format, XML
significantly reduces the burden of deploying the many technologies needed to ensure the success of
Web services.
21. Define XML attributes
• XML elements can have attributes in the start tag, just like HTML.
• Attributes are used to provide additional information about elements.
• Attributes cannot contain multiple values (child elements can)
• Attributes are not easily expandable (for future changes)
22. Write the main difference between XML and HTML.
Main Difference between XML and HTML
XML was designed to carry data.
XML is not a replacement for HTML.
XML and HTML were designed with different goals:
XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.
HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks.
HTML is about displaying information, while XML is about describing information
23. What is meant by a XML namespace? (APR/MAY 2011)
XML Namespaces provide a method to avoid element name conflicts. When using prefixes in XML, a
so-called namespace for the prefix must be defined. The namespace is defined by the xmlns attribute
in the start tag of an element. The namespace declaration has the following syntax.
xmlns:prefix="URI".
<root><h:table xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/">
<h:tr>
<h:td>Apples</h:td>
<h:td>Bananas</h:td>
</h:tr></h:table>
<f:table xmlns:f="http://www.w3schools.com/furniture">
<f:name>African Coffee Table</f:name>

<f:width>80</f:width>
<f:length>120</f:length></f:table></root>
24. What is XML namespace? (NOV/DEC 2012)
XML allows document authors to create custom elements.
 This extensibility can result in naming collisions (i.e. different elements that have the same
name) among elements in an XML document.
An XML namespace is a collection of element and attribute names. Each namespace has a unique
name that provides a means for document authors to unambiguously refer to elements with the same
name (i.e. prevent collisions).
25. What is the purpose of namespace? (MAY/JUNE 2014)
XML Namespaces provide a method to avoid element name conflicts. In XML, element names are
defined by the developer. This often results in a conflict when trying to mix XML documents from
different XML applications.
26. Compare DOM and SAX in XML processing. (MAY/JUNE 2013)
DOM SAX
DOM is an interface-oriented SAX parser works incrementally and generates
Application Programming Interface. events that are passed to the application.
It allows for navigation of the entire DOM parser reads the whole XML document and
document. returns a DOM tree representation of xml
document.
DOM allows you to read and write. SAX is essentially an API for reading XML
27. What are complex types?
complex types are an important aspects of xml schema that allow application developers to define
application-specific data types that can be checked by programs that check XML document for validity.
XML schema divides complex types into two categories: those with simple content& those with
complex content.
28. What are all the Transformation techniques?
 XSLT - it is an XML- based languages used to transform XML documents into others format such
as HTML for web display.
 XLINK - highlighting that element or taking the user directly to that point in the document.
 XPATH - xpath gets its name from its use of a payh notation to navigate through the
hierarchical tree structure of an XML document
 XQUERY - it is W3C initiative to define a standard set of constructs for querying & searching
XML document.
29. What is XSLT?
XSLT stands for XSL Transformations
XSLT is the most important part of XSL
XSLT transforms an XML document into another XML document
XSLT uses XPath to navigate in XML documents
XSLT is a W3C Recommendation
30. Define the term DTD.
A Document Type Definition (DTD) defines the legal building blocks of an XML document. It defines the
document structure with a list of legal elements and attributes.
31. List two types of DTD declaration
DTD is stands for Document Type Definition which is used to structure the XML document. The
type of DTD are as follows i) Internal Declaration ii) External Declaration.
32. How to declare DTD attributes?

21

Download Useful Materials from Rejinpaul.com

 www.rejinpaul.com
www.rejinpaul.com

An attribute declaration has the following syntax:

<!ATTLIST element-name attribute-name attribute-type default-
value>
DTD example:
<!ATTLIST payment type CDATA "check">
XML example:
<payment type="check" />
33. What is XML schema?
An XML schema is itself an XML document. It provides more detail about the kind of data that can
appear as part of an XML document.
34. What is the purpose of XML schema? (APR/MAY 2013)
 The schemas are more specific and provide the support for data types.
 The schema is aware of namespace
 The XML Schema is written in XML itself and has a large number of built-in and derived types.
 The xml schema is the W3C recommendation. Hence it is supported by various XML validator
and XML Processors.
35. What are the disadvantages of schema?
 The XML schema is complex to design and hard to learn
 The XML document cannot be if the corresponding schema file is absent.
 Maintaining the schema for large and complex operations sometimes slows down the
processing of XML document
36. Explain DTD for XML Schemas.
 XML documents are processed by applications
 Applications have assumptions about XML documents
 DTDs allow to formalize some of these constraints
 Part of the constraint checking must still be programmed
37. List some browsers that support XML and XSL
Mozilla Firefox
As of version 1.0.2, Firefox has support for XML and XSLT (and CSS).
Mozilla: Mozilla includes Expat for XML parsing and has support to display XML + CSS. Mozilla also has
some support for Namespaces. Mozilla is available with an XSLT implementation.
Netscape: As of version 8, Netscape uses the Mozilla engine, and therefore it has the same XML / XSLT
support as Mozilla.
Opera: As of version 9, Opera has support for XML and XSLT (and CSS). Version 8 supports only XML +
CSS.
Internet Explorer: As of version 6, Internet Explorer supports XML, Namespaces, CSS, XSLT, and XPath.
Version 5 is NOT compatible with the official W3C XSL Recommendation.
38. What is XML presentation technique?
XML presentation technologies provide a modular way to deliver and display content to a variety of
devices. There are different presentation technologies used in XML to display the content. Eg: CSS
39. List some of presentation technologies.
Presentation technologies provide a modular way to deliver and display content to a variety of
devices.
i) CSS ii) XSL iii) XFORMS iv) XHTML
40. Write about DOM.
DOM is W3c supported standard application programming interface(API) that provides a
platform and language- neutral interface to allow developers to programmatically access and modify

22

the content and structure documents.

41. What is SAX?
SAX is an example of a grass- roots development effort to provide a simple; Java based API for
processing XML.
42. What are the levels of DOM?
DOM provides a platform and language- neutral interface to allow developers to programmatically
access and modify the content and structure documents. It has Level 0, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3
43. Compare CSS and XSL.
CSS can be used with HTML.But XSL can’t be used in HTML
Both can be used in XML
CSS is not a transformation language but XSL.

Part – A
1. What is Ajax?
Ajax is a set of client side technologies that provides asynchronous communication between user
interfaces and web server. So the advantages of using Ajax are asynchronous communication, minimal
data transfer and server is not overloaded with unnecessary load.
2. What technologies are being used in AJAX?
AJAX uses four technologies, which are as follows:
JavaScript, XMLHttpRequest, Document Object Model (DOM), Extensible HTML (XHTML) and Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS)
3. Explain the limitations of AJAX.
It is difficult to bookmark a particular state of the application,Function provided in the code-behind file
do not work because the dynamic pages cannot register themselves on browsers history engine
automatically
4. Describe AJAX Control Extender Toolkit.
AJAX Control Toolkit is a set of extenders that are used to extend the functionalities of the ASP.NET
controls. The extenders use a block of JavaScript code to add new and enhanced capabilities to the
ASP.NET controls. AJAX Control Toolkit is a free download available on the Microsoft site. You need to
install this toolkit on your system before using extenders.
5. 30) What is the syntax to create AJAX objects?
AJAX uses the following syntax to create an object:
Var myobject = new AjaxObject("page path");
The page path is the URL of the Web page containing the object that you want to call.
The URL must be of the same domain as the Web page.
6. How can you find out that an AJAX request has been completed?
You can find out that an AJAX request has been completed by using the readyState property. If the
value of this property equals to four, it means that the request has been completed and the data is
available.
7. What are the different ways to pass parameters to the server?
We can pass parameters to the server using either the GET or POST method. The following code
snippets show the example of both the methods: Get: XmlHttpObject.Open("GET","file1.txt", true);
Post: XmlHttpObject.Open("POST", "file2.txt", true);
8. What are the extender controls?
The extender controls uses a block of JavaScript code to add new and enhanced capabilities to ASP.NET.
The developers can use a set of sample extender controls through a separate download - AJAX Control
Toolkit (ACT).
9. List out the advantages of AJAX. (May 2014)
• Better interactivity
• Easier navigation
• Compact
• Backed by reputed brands
10. Define Web service? (Nov 2011)
A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over the web. The W3C
defines a "Web service" as "a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine

24

interaction over a network". It has an interface described in a machine-processable format specifically

Web Services Description Language (WSDL).
11. What are the different applications that could use web services??
 Data providers, for example, those that provide data such as a stock quote
 Business-to-business process integrations, such as those that send a purchase order from one
company to another
 Integration with multiple partners, and even with competitors
 Enterprise application integration, for example, integration of a company's e-mail database with its
human resources (HR) database
12. What are the features of web service?
Web services are having the features such as heterogeneous, interoperable, loosely coupled, and
implementation-independent programs and modular design
13. What are the rules to be followed in designing the web service?
 Allow extensibility points.
 Keep your namespaces easy to version by placing dates in them.
 Don't try to solve every problem with one schema, WSDL, or other file. Break out the problem
into pieces
14. What is meant by WSDL? (APR/MAY 2011)
 WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language
 WSDL is based on XML
 WSDL is used to describe Web services
 WSDL is used to locate Web services
 WSDL is an XML-based language for locating and describing Web services
15. Why do you want to describe a web service? (MAY/JUNE 2014)
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is a document written in XML. The document describes a
Web service. It specifies the location of the service and the operations (or methods) the service exposes.
16. 17. What are the elements of WSDL?
Element Name Description

types A container for abstract type definitions defined using XML Schema
message A definition of an abstract message that may consist of multiple parts, each part may
be of a different type
portType An abstract set of operations supported by one or more endpoints (commonly known
as an interface); operations are defined by an exchange of messages
binding A concrete protocol and data format specification for a particular portType
service A collection of related endpoints, where an endpoint is defined as a combination of a
binding and an address (URI)
18. What is the use of web services?
 Web services encompass a set of related standards that can enable two computers
 The data is passed back and forth using standard protocols such as HTTP, the same protocol used
to transfer ordinary web pages.
 Web services operate using open, text-based standards that enable components written in
different languages and on different platforms to communicate.
 They are ready to use pieces of software on the Internet. XML, SOAP, Web Services Description
Language (WSDL) and Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) are the standards

on which web services rely.

 UDDI is another XML based format that enables developers and business to publish and locate
Web services on a network.
19. State the uses of WSDL. (APR/MAY 2012)
 WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language.
 WSDL is a document written in XML.
 WSDL is an XML-based language for locating and describing Web services.
20. What are the four transmission types of WSDL?
 One-way
 Request–response
 Solicit–response
 Notification
21. State the significance of a WSDL document. (NOV/DEC 2012)
The WSDL is a Web Service Descriptor Language which is based on XML.
ELEMENT DESCRIPTION
Types It Specifies the data types of the symbols used by the web services.
Messages It specifies the messages used by the web services.
Porttype It specifies the name of the operations
Binding It specifies the name of the protocol of the web services, typically it is SOAP.
22. What is UDDI? (NOV/DEC 2011)
UDDI means Universal Description, Discovery and Integration.
UDDI - platform-independent framework for describing services, discovering businesses, and integrating
business services by using the Internet.
- directory for storing information about web services
- directory of web service interfaces described by WSDL
- communicates via SOAP
- The core of UDDI is the UDDI Business Registry, a global, pubic, online directory.
23. What are the benefits of UDDI?
Problems the UDDI specification can help to solve:
 Making it possible to discover the right business from the millions currently online
 Defining how to enable commerce once the preferred business is discovered
 Reaching new customers and increasing access to current customers
 Expanding offerings and extending market reach
 Solving customer-driven need to remove barriers to allow for rapid participation in the global
Internet economy
 Describing services and business processes programmatically in a single, open, and secure
environment
24. What are the core elements of UDDI?
UDDI defines four core data elements within the data model:
 businessEntity (modeling business information)
 businessService (describing a service)
 tModel (describing specifications, classifications, or identifications)
 binding Template (mapping between a businessService and the set of tModels that describe its
technical fingerprint)
25. List some examples of web services. (APR/MAY 2012)

26. List out some web service technologies?
 XML
 SOAP
 WSDL
27. What is SOAP?
SOAP - Simple Object Access Protocol
- protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the implementation of Web
Services in computer networks.
- relies on Extensible Markup Language (XML) for its message format, and usually relies on other
Application Layer protocols, most notably Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP), for message negotiation and transmission.
28. Define SOAP structure.

The SOAP envelope

<Envelope> is the root element in every SOAP message, and contains two child elements, an optional
<Header> element, and a mandatory <Body> element.
The SOAP header
<Header> is an optional sub element of the SOAP envelope, and is used to pass application-related
information that is to be processed by SOAP nodes along the message path; see The SOAP header.
The SOAP body
<Body> is a mandatory sub element of the SOAP envelope, which contains information intended for the
ultimate recipient of the message; see The SOAP body.
The SOAP fault
<Fault> is a sub element of the SOAP body, which is used for reporting errors; see The SOAP fault.
XML elements in <Header> and <Body> are defined by the applications that make use of them, although
the SOAP specification imposes some constraints on their structure.
29. Define the need for SOAP. (APR/MAY 2013)
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is a protocol based on XML. It is used by the web services for
exchange of information. The Client- Server communication is based on RPC. The HTTP does not design
to handle the distributed objects that are required by the RPC. Hence another application protocol is
build over HTTP which popularly known as SOAP. SOAP allows talking different applications that are
running in two different operating systems.
30. What are the descriptions in SOAP service?
To describe everything a SOAP service needs to describe the following:
 The operations
 The schema for each message in an operation
 The SOAPAction headers
 The URL endpoint of the service
31. Give an example of a web services registry and its function. (NOV/DEC 2012)

It refers to a place in which service providers can impart information about their offered services and
potential clients can search for services
Example: IBM - WebSphere Service Registry, Oracle Service Registry etc.,
32. Mention some of the disadvantageous of web services (MAY/JUNE 2014)
Web services standards features such as transactions are currently nonexistent or still in their infancy
compared to more mature distributed computing open standards such as CORBA. Web services may
suffer from poor performance compared to other distributed computing approaches such as RMI,
CORBA, or DCOM.
33. What is JWSDP?
Java Web Service Developer Pack (JWSDP) is a tool. Using the JWSDP tool the simple implementation
files written in java can be converted to Web Service.
34. What are the specifications of web service architecture?
The specifications are
 Standards based
 Modular
 Federated
 General purpose
