What is Struts2?
Apache Struts2 is an open source framework to build web applications in Java. Struts2 is based on OpenSymphony WebWork framework. It’s highly improved from Struts1 and that makes it more flexible, easy to use and extend. The core components of Struts2 are Action, Interceptors and Result pages.
Struts2 provides many ways to create Action classes and configure them via struts.xml or through annotations. We can create our own interceptors for common tasks. Struts2 comes with a lot of tags and uses OGNL expression language. We can create our own type converters to render result pages. Result pages can be JSPs and FreeMarker templates. -
What are the differences between Struts1 and Struts2 or how Struts2 is better than Struts1?
Struts2 is designed to overcome the shortcomings of Struts1 and to make it more flexible, extendable. Some of the noticeable differences are:

MBA calling: How to prepare for the personal interview
Though
there is no dearth of articles on interview etiquette, there is an
actual shortage of good articles on the most crucial factor in an
interview -- the interviewer's questions and your answers. Many problems
candidates have include nervousness and stammering in an interview,
which is directly related to the candidate's unfamiliarity with the
questions and a general lack of preparation.
TCYonline.com experts present for the readers of Rediff.com, a few of the most commonly asked interview questions. There are no ready-made answers to the questions, instead, the attempt is to try to help you arrive at the correct answer yourself, so that you sound natural and coherent in an interview. Ultimately, an interview is a mirror to see your inner self and a subjective, specific and honest presentation is the key to success.
Q. Tell me some thing about yourself.This is how most interviews begin and this is one question you cannot afford to be unprepared for.
To frame a good answer it is always helpful to know what is it that the interviewer wants to know about you. An interviewer would like to know.
~ Your educational background~ Your work experience, if any~ Your strengths and achievements
~ About your family background~ About where you are coming from academically, professionally
You should be short and crisp about all the points mentioned above. If the interviewer needs an elaboration s/he will ask you.

What's your best interview question?
Google is famous for the intensity and rigour of its recruitment process. It's not easy to get a job there, and those who have done so are rightly proud of their Google-hood.
Google has acknowledged that its fiendishly difficult interview questions are no predictor of the success of the candidate. Laszlo Bock, the senior vice-president of people operations at Google, said in an interview in The New York Times that "we did a study to determine whether anyone at Google is particularly good at hiring. We looked at tens of thousands of interviews, and everyone who had done the interviews and what they scored the candidate, and how that person ultimately performed in their job. We found zero relationship."
Not very encouraging, is it? Is it true that a job interview merely determines how good a candidate is at job interviews? In which case, you might as well have some fun with the questions.
How lucky are you and why?
What is your least favourite thing about humanity?
How does the internet work?
If you were a box of cereal, which one would you be?
These are all job interview questions, listed in Fast Company as part of Glassdoor's "oddball" job interview questions.
Friday, January 24, 2014
The 25 most difficult questions you'll be asked on a job interview
1. Tell me about yourself.
Since this is often the opening question in an interview, be extracareful that you don't run off at the mouth. Keep your answer to a minute or two at most. Cover four topics: early years, education, work history, and recent career experience. Emphasize this last subject. Remember that this is likely to be a warm-up question. Don't waste your best points on it.2. What do you know about our organization?
You should be able to discuss products or services, revenues, reputation, image, goals, problems, management style, people, history and philosophy. But don't act as if you know everything about the place. Let your answer show that you have taken the time to do some research, but don't overwhelm the interviewer, and make it clear that you wish to learn more.You might start your answer in this manner: "In my job search, I've investigated a number of companies.
Yours is one of the few that interests me, for these reasons..."
Give your answer a positive tone. Don't say, "Well, everyone tells me that you're in all sorts of trouble, and that's why I'm here", even if that is why you're there.

How to Answer 23 of the Most Common Interview Questions
1. So, tell me a little about yourself.
I'd be very surprised if you haven't been asked this one at every interview. It's probably the most asked question because it sets the stage for the interview and it gets you talking. Be careful not to give the interviewer your life story here. You don't need to explain everything from birth to present day. Relevant facts about education, your career and your current life situation are fine.2. Why are you looking (or why did you leave you last job)?
This should be a straightforward question to answer, but it can trip you up. Presumably you are looking for a new job (or any job) because you want to advance your career and get a position that allows you to grow as a person and an employee. It's not a good idea to mention money here, it can make you sound mercenary. And if you are in the unfortunate situation of having been downsized, stay positive and be as brief as possible about it. If you were fired, you'll need a good explanation. But once again, stay positive.Wednesday, January 22, 2014
Software Testing Basics - Software Testing Interview Questions and Answers
7. What is configuration management?
Configuration
management is the detailed recording and updating of information for
hardware and software components. When we say components we not only
mean source code. It can be tracking of changes for software documents
such as requirement, design, test cases, etc.
When changes are done in adhoc and in an uncontrolled manner chaotic situations can arise and more defects injected. So whenever changes are done it should be done in a controlled fashion and with proper versioning. At any moment of time we should be able to revert back to the old version. The main intention of configuration management is to track our changes if we have issues with the current system. Configuration management is done using baselines.

8. How does a coverage tool work?
While
doing testing on the actual product, the code coverage testing tool is
run simultaneously. While the testing is going on, the code coverage
tool monitors the executed statements of the source code. When the final
testing is completed we get a complete report of the pending statements
and also get the coverage percentage.
Software Testing Basics - Software Testing Interview Questions and Answers
1. Can you explain the PDCA cycle and where testing fits in?
Software
testing is an important part of the software development process. In
normal software development there are four important steps, also
referred to, in short, as the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle.
Let's review the four steps in detail.

Data Files - C Interview Questions and Answers
1. If errno contains a nonzero number, is there an error?
The global variable errno is used by many standard C library functions to pass back to
your program an error code that denotes specifically which error occurred. However, your
program should not check the value of errno to determine whether an error occurred.
Usually, the standard C library function you are calling returns with a return code which denotes that an error has occurred and that the value of errno has been set to a specific error number. If no error has occurred or if you are using a library function that does not reference errno, there is a good chance that errno will contain an erroneous value. For performance enhancement, the errno variable is sometimes not cleared by the functions that use it.
You should never rely on the value of errno alone; always check the return code from the function you are calling to see whether errno should be referenced. Refer to your compiler's library documentation for references to functions that utilize the errno global variable and for a list of valid values for errno.

2. What is a stream?
A stream is a continuous series of bytes that flow into or out of your program. Input and output from devices
such as the mouse, keyboard, disk, screen, modem, and printer are all handled with streams. In C, all streams
appear as files - not physical disk files necessarily, but rather logical files that refer to an input/output source.
The C language provides five "standard" streams that are always available to your program. These streams
do not have to be opened or closed. These are the five standard streams:The C Language Basics - C Interview Questions and Answers
1. What is a local block?
A local block is any portion of a C program that is enclosed by the left brace ({) and the
right brace (}). A C function contains left and right braces, and therefore anything
between the two braces is contained in a local block. An if statement or a switch
statement can also contain braces, so the portion of code between these two braces would
be considered a local block.
Additionally, you might want to create your own local block without the aid of a C function or keyword construct. This is perfectly legal. Variables can be declared within local blocks, but they must be declared only at the beginning of a local block. Variables declared in this manner are visible only within the local block. Duplicate variable names declared within a local block take precedence over variables with the same name declared outside the local block. Here is an example of a program that uses local blocks:

Senior Management Interview
The Senior Management interview
is a type of interview that is very challenging. A candidate must
have the skills to be able to convince the senior management interviewer
that he is right for the position. He must have the same values with
the company; his personality must fit in the culture of the company he
wants to work for. Senior management interview is totally opposite of
the usual entry-level interviews.
On a senior management interviewer’s aspect, it is a test of time-tested skills. The senior management interviewer must be able to distinguish honesty and hypocrisy. The senior management interviewer must be able to scrutinize every detail about the person that is involved with the position the candidate is applying for.
During a senior management interview, a lot of questions are asked, background of the person, self-assessment, behavioral questions, and competency questions.
A number of books can be found on topics about how to answer the toughest senior management interview questions, what not to say and what to say during senior management interviews. But the capacity to answer questions depends on the candidate’s abilities and experiences and other factors involved during the senior management interview.
Let’s review some questions asked during a senior management interview. First, of course, is to ask, “walk me through your work experiences.” A candidate should be able to discuss his career, his experience with the company and the reason for leaving. A candidate should keep in mind that he must be able to answer it thoroughly and briefly.
The senior management interviewer might ask, “What is effective leadership for you?” This question is trying to get an underlying answer. By asking the person this, the interviewer can have a grasp of idea on what the management style is of the person. Probably because, the tendency is to define it on how the candidate believes it to be. Of course, it is not expected to give a Webster-like definition of the term.
During a senior management interview, it is very possible to be asked “What are the things you consider to determine how effective you are in managing your people?” This time around, it is to check on how you apply your concepts and/or theories on your own. It’s just like asking the strengths of your management style.

interview questions to ask when hiring a manager
I recently put this together for someone, and I’m recycling it here:
interview questions to ask if you’re hiring a manager of a department,
organization, whatever.
As you’ll see, the idea of most of these to give you a good feel for whether this is someone who gets things done, is a strong manager who’s focused on results, etc. Please add in your own!
General
Send the candidate your annual report or other materials ahead of time. In the interview, ask him/her to explain the organization’s work to you as if you were a prospective funder or investor.
How would the people around you describe you?
Tell me about a difficult decision you had to make recently. Walk me through the problem and what your thought process was, and how you ultimately handled it.
What is some of the most useful criticism you’ve ever received? Why?

The Top 50 interview questions and how to handle them
1. “Why do you want to work here?”
To answer this question you must have researched the company. Reply with the company’s attributes as you see them and how your qualities match them.
2. “Tell me about yourself.”
This is not an invitation to ramble on. If the context isn’t clear, you need to know more about the question before giving an answer.
Whichever direction your answer ultimately takes, be sure that it has some relevance to your professional endeavors. You should also refer to one or more of your key personal qualities, such as honesty, integrity, being a team player, or determination.
3. “What is the biggest challenge you have faced in work in the past 12 months?”
This is often an opening question, as it allows you to use one of your strongest examples and may help you relax. For the interviewer, it is also an indication of where your natural focus or achievements may be – people development, process, cost reduction, change etc.

How to Prepare for an Interview for a Management Position
- 1Do your research about the company you are interviewing with. Look the company up online, and determine what the business mission and vision are. Gather as much information as you can so that you can answer questions that may come up. You may also want to make a list of your own questions about the company. This way the recruiter will know you did your homework. Just don't pick a topic that you cannot have full conversation about, assuming the interviewer leads you in that direction.
-
2Get a full understanding of the management position the company is hiring for. Read the job position, and make sure that you focus on these points during your interview. If the company mentioned specific qualities and qualifications in the description, they are evidently significant. So make sure that you highlight these areas in your own experience and qualifications.

JSP INTERVIEW QUESTIONS (20 interview questions)
1)What is JSP?
| Java Server Pages technology (JSP) is used to create dynamic web page.It is an extension to the servlet.A JSP is internally converted into servlet. more details... |
2)What are the life-cycle methods for a jsp?
|
3)What is difference between hide comment and output comment?
| The jsp comment is called hide comment whereas html comment is called output comment.If user views the source of the page, the jsp comment will not be shown whereas html comment will be shown. |
4)What are the JSP implicit objects ?
| JSP provides 9 implicit objects bydefault.They are as follows: |
| Object | Type |
|---|---|
| 1) out | JspWriter |
| 2) request | HttpServletRequest |
| 3) response | HttpServletResponse |
| 4) config | ServletConfig |
| 5) session | HttpSession |
| 6) application | ServletContext |
| 7) pageContext | PageContext |
| 8) page | Object |
| 9) exception | Throwable |
5)What is difference between include directive and include action?
| 1) The include directive includes the content at page translation time. | 1) The include action includes the content at request time. |
| 2) The include directive includes the original content of the page so page size increases at runtime. | 2) The include action doesn't include the original content rather invokes the include() method of Vendor provided class. |
| 3) It's better for static pages. | 3) It's better for dynamic pages. |
6)Is JSP technology extensible?
| Yes. JSP technology is extensible through the development of custom actions, or tags, which are encapsulated in tag libraries. |
7)How can I implement a thread-safe JSP page? What are the advantages and Disadvantages of using it?
| You can make your JSPs thread-safe by having them implement the SingleThreadModel interface. This is done by adding the directive <%@ page isThreadSafe="false" %> within your JSP page. |
8)How do I prevent the output of my JSP or Servlet pages from being cached by the browser?
(OR) How to disable caching on back button of the browser?
<%
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
response.setHeader ("Expires", "0"); //prevents caching at the proxy server
%>
|
9)How can we handle the exceptions in JSP ?
| There are two ways to perform exception handling, one is by the errorPage element of page directive, and second is by the error-page element of web.xml file. more details... |
10)What are the two ways to include the result of another page. ?
| There are two ways to include the result of another page: |
11)How can we forward the request from jsp page to the servlet ?
| Yes ofcourse! With the help of forward action tag, but we need to give the url-pattern of the servlet. forward action tag |
12)Can we use the exception implicit object in any jsp page ?
| No. The exception implicit object can only be used in the error page which defines it with the isErrorPage attribute of page directive. more details... |
13)How is JSP used in the MVC model?
| JSP is usually used for presentation in the MVC pattern (Model View Controller ) i.e. it plays the role of the view. The controller deals with calling the model and the business classes which in turn get the data, this data is then presented to the JSP for rendering on to the client. |

170 CORE JAVA INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
1)What is difference between JDK,JRE and JVM?
JVM
| JVM is an acronym for Java Virtual Machine, it is an abstract machine which provides the runtime environment in which java bytecode can be executed. |
| JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms (so JVM is plateform dependent). |
JRE
| JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment. It is the implementation of JVM and physically exists. |
JDK
| JDK is an acronym for Java Development Kit. It physically exists. It contains JRE + development tools. |
Java Basic Interview Questions
- A constructor is a special method whose task is to initialize the object of its class.
- It is special because its name is the same as the class name.
- They do not have return types, not even void and therefore they cannot return values.
- They cannot be inherited, though a derived class can call the base class constructor.
- Constructor is invoked whenever an object of its associated class is created.
32.How does the Java default constructor be provided?
If a class defined by the code does not
have any constructor, compiler will automatically provide one
no-parameter-constructor (default-constructor) for the class in the
byte code. The access modifier (public/private/etc.) of the default
constructor is the same as the class itself.

J2EE Interview Questions and Answers
What is J2EE?
J2EE is an environment for developing and deploying enterprise applications. The J2EE platform consists of a set of services, application programming interfaces (APIs), and protocols that provide the functionality for developing multitier, web-based applications.
What is the J2EE module?
A J2EE module consists of one or more J2EE components for the same container type and one component deployment descriptor of that type.
What are the components of J2EE application?
A J2EE component is a self-contained functional software unit that is assembled into a J2EE application with its related classes and files and communicates with other components. The J2EE specification defines the following J2EE components:
Application clients and applets are client components.
Java Servlet and JavaServer PagesTM (JSPTM) technology components are web components.
Enterprise JavaBeansTM (EJBTM) components (enterprise beans) are business components.
Resource adapter components provided by EIS and tool vendors.
What are the four types of J2EE modules?
1. Application client module
2. Web module
3. Enterprise JavaBeans module
4. Resource adapter module
What does application client module contain?
The application client module contains:
--class files,
--an application client deployment descriptor.
Application client modules are packaged as JAR files with a .jar extension.
What does web module contain?
The web module contains:
--JSP files,
--class files for servlets,
--GIF and HTML files, and
--a Web deployment descriptor.
Web modules are packaged as JAR files with a .war (Web ARchive) extension.
What are the differences between Ear, Jar and War files? Under what circumstances should we use each one?
There are no structural differences between the files; they are all archived using zip-jar compression. However, they are intended for different purposes.
--Jar files (files with a .jar extension) are intended to hold generic libraries of Java classes, resources, auxiliary files, etc.
--War files (files with a .war extension) are intended to contain complete Web applications. In this context, a Web application is defined as a single group of files, classes, resources, .jar files that can be packaged and accessed as one servlet context.
--Ear files (files with a .ear extension) are intended to contain complete enterprise applications. In this context, an enterprise application is defined as a collection of .jar files, resources, classes, and multiple Web applications.
Each type of file (.jar, .war, .ear) is processed uniquely by application servers, servlet containers, EJB containers, etc.
What is the difference between Session bean and Entity bean ?
The Session bean and Entity bean are two main parts of EJB container.
Session Bean
--represents a workflow on behalf of a client
--one-to-one logical mapping to a client.
--created and destroyed by a client
--not permanent objects
--lives its EJB container(generally) does not survive system shut down
--two types: stateless and stateful beans
Entity Bean
--represents persistent data and behavior of this data
--can be shared among multiple clients
--persists across multiple invocations
--findable permanent objects
--outlives its EJB container, survives system shutdown
--two types: container managed persistence(CMP) and bean managed persistence(BMP)
What is "applet" ?
A J2EE component that typically executes in a Web browser but can execute in a variety of other applications or devices that support the applet programming model.
What is "applet container" ?
A container that includes support for the applet programming model.
What is "application assembler" ?
A person who combines J2EE components and modules into deployable application units.

Java Basics - Interview Questions and Answers
1. What is the difference between a constructor and a method?
A
constructor is a member function of a class that is used to create
objects of that class. It has the same name as the class itself, has no
return type, and is invoked using the new operator.
A method is an ordinary member function of a class. It has its own name, a return type (which may be void), and is invoked using the dot operator.
