Java interview and exam

Hi guys,
I have an interview and exam for Java programming job tomorrow.
I have been told the exam is on the syntax of the core API.
Has anybody else done similar exams for a job? Any advice?
Anybody got any ideas what sort of thing they put on these exams.
Any help/suggestions would be great.
Many thanks
alex

I have been told the exam is on the syntax ofthe
core API.That means he's taking one of the basic examswritten
by a few different companies, and used by many
different companies.I would say that most small/medium sized companies
writes their own tests... but I might be totally
wrong. You might be right, I'm just going off my personal experience, and granted it's most doubtly less than yours.
>
And he gives the impression he
just graduated with a CS degree. This isn't for a
Senior Developer position. I saw that, but he might be applying for a position
as a UI programmer, server programmer, etc. There are
just so many different positions to apply for, and
the tests wouldn't look the same. I would never ask a
Swing related question if I was looking for a server
programmer. The phrase "syntax of the core API" is what I've been going by and I'm just trying to help him out, I could certaainly be wrong.
>
The exam will be similar to the Sun Certification
exam (google for mock SCJP exams). Could be, but we can't be sure about that, since that
is more a test about the syntax of the language, and
some basic knowledge. E.g SCJP for 1.4 does not ask
any UI related question.True, we can't be sure, I am just making an educated guess.
>
Don't be nervous, chances are you'll have noproblems
with the exams and it will come down to the actual
interview. Just be yourself, be honest and showsome
personality. You'll be fine.I agree on this. Be honest when you are there. Tell
them that the test was hard if you think that (since
the will find that out anyway), and do also tell them
what you have done, and what you are good at, but
don't exaggerate.
/KajHey common ground! So at least the OP can feel confident about this advice.
OP Good Luck!!!

Java 2D and hardware accelleration

Is there a way to use Java 2D and take advantage of a graphics card accelleration (ie. Creator 3D) or do I have to convert my application to Java 3D? If so, how compatible are the APIs?
Thanks

Using BufferedImage can sometimes helps performance alot. The main thing is if you do all your rendering inside the paint() each operation is done straight away. When you use BufferedImage's you draw every thing onto that then draw the BufferedImage onto the component, so if you a drawing a complex image its probally faster to use a BufferedImage. Using a BufferedImage to render onto first is called double buffering and is used by Swing to avoid flicker.

Java interview Q

Hi,I have passed throu 1stage of interview and invited for 2nd stage of java developer post.I've few doubts in Q been asked at interview.
Could someone help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee.
If process A is sending messages 100 at a time to process B which can only take 10 at a time.How will you accomplish this task

Thq bye bye to these....damn forum..u njoy ur
professincy with selfishness,possessive and jealosyselfishness? let me tell you about selfishness:
imagine you're running a business, and you are answerable to shareholders who will sack you if their investments do not perform. you have a large project to complete on a tight budget, in a tight timescale - like virtually every commercial IT project in the world - and are looking to hire more programmers to get the job done. would you, given the responsibility, prefer to employ
1) somebody who can do the job, well, now
2) somebody who can answer questions in an interview, but when they have to actually solve a problem, need to trawl the internet and ask forums for help all the time?
there is room for the inexperienced in IT, most certainly. I, for one, started my career in a graduate position, with a company that had a graduate program in place. they recognized the worth in investing in fresh talent, and were happy to take on graduates - and placement students - train them, bring them up to speed, and keep them on. it worked very well for them as it was an integral part of their business model. companies like this are very common.
some companies do not work like this. they prefer to employ only people with proven experience. they are perfectly entitled to insist on experience, nobody is obliged to provide you with training. it is not your place to circumvent this decision, bluff your way into a job you cannot do, and trick this employer into funding your further learning, at the expense of their own productivity. that, my friend, is selfish
personally, I think any form of preparation for an interview - other than researching the company itself - is cheating. there should be no need, you either know what you're doing or you don't. there's no need to know the entire JDK, or any particular technology, inside out: in the workplace, you will have resources for you to research, and any interviewer worth their salt knows this. what's important is the ability to work things out
well, anyway, good luck with that chip on your shoulder, I sure hope you get the living the world owes you, soon. see you in a month when you're back here, in a panic, because you can't do the job you blagged

Whats is difference between Java JRE and Java SDK

Hi,
what is the difference between Java JRE and Java SDK...
i think both of them have the same set of files to be installed...
I am not able to understand where they differ

The JRE (Java runtime Environment) contains just the stuff necessary to run Java and the SDK (System Development Kit) contains the extra stuff necessary (and also helpful) to develop in Java.

Java SSO and IIS

This is a repeat of this post: Java SSO and IIS
Noone answered there.
Hello,
my organization uses Java SSO authentication in Oracle Application Server. Now we want to "expand" SSO so that our IIS applications can benefit from Oracle SSO and user needn't print user name / password again. Is there any way to use Java SSO in IIS? In this project we use Java SSO, not Oracle Identity Management.
Thanks in advance

Java SE and Java EE

I am a IT graduate and I still need some clarification on the relationship between Java SE and Java EE API. Does EE include SE?
For application development, I know I can use only SE without the EE, but can I use EE alone without SE?
Any good articles addressing my questions?
Thank you very much
R

Java EE in fact extends java SE, its primarily aim is to simplify developing multitier enterprise applications (Java SE provides all the necessary basic libraries etc.)
Because Java EE is an extension of Java SE, you cant use EE without SE - without SE there is no EE.

Compatibility between Java crypto and open ssl

Hello
I have some question about compatibility between java crypto and openssl library.
This is my case:
1.I created DESede key and stored it to file:
SecretKey key = KeyGenerator.getInstance("TripleDES").generateKey();
File f = new File("c:\\key.dat");
DataOutputStream dos =new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f));
dos.write(key.getEncoded());
dos3.close();2.I encrypt some file "c:\\normal.dat" through:
ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key2);
byte[] enc = ecipher.doFinal(normalData);
File f2 = new File("c:\\enc.dat");
DataOutputStream dos =new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f2));
dos.write(enc);
dos.close();

You have carefully left out some critical java code, namely the Cipher.getInstance() method. You'll notice in the documentation for this method that there 3 components to the "transform" argument of this method, the algorithm, the mode, and the padding. All of these must match exactly with the what openssl is using. Furthermore, if you are using one of the modes which require an IV, like CBC mode, then this must match exactly too. If you don't explicitly specify some of these parameters, you might get default values supplied. It is up to you to find out what these are.

Problem with java look and feel

Hi! This is my first time posting here. Do apologize me if I am not familiar with the regulations here. Thanks!

Below is the executable code generated using NetBeans which is enough to generate the error message. Sometimes you can get the error message just by running the program. Sometimes the error will occur when you go into the Menu and click on Item.

Problem with Java 5 and Oracle 10g JDBC driver

Hi All,
Currently we upgrade our web application to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. And we encountered a bug, when the user entered the information through UI and data didn't store into database (Oracle 9i). The problem is that this bug is not happend so often maybe once a day and this did not happen before we upgraded to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. Does anyone encounter the same problem ? Is this Java 5 problem or Oracle JDBC driver problem ?
Thanks,

sounds like a database problem...
Are you using a driver version that's supported for your database engine?
What else did you change? We once ran into a major bug in our application that had for 5 years been masked by performance problems in our hardware and infrastructure.
Once those were resolved the bug showed itself and caused tens of thousands of records to be erroneously inserted into our database every day.
It's certainly NOT a problem with your JVM (if it's a decent one, like the Sun implementation).
So it's either your database, your driver, your network (dropping packets???), or your application.
The upgrade may just have exposed something that was already there.

Open java app and insert text

Hello All!
I'm looking for a little help on an exact problem that seems to have been solved here before (but doesn't work for me).
Here's the original archived thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2631967?start=0&tstart=0
The question asked is exactly the same....
I have a java app for a Speco Technologies DVR. After opening the app, you must type in a rather long url and then click connect. If you enter the url, then quit the app, when you relaunch it, it does not remember the url that had been entered the previous time.
I would like to create a script that will launch the Java app and then input the url (text string). I cannot get this to work.
I've gotten as far as this:
on run
tell application "Finder" to activate open document file "DVRVIEWER(DO_NOT_DELETE).jar" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
delay 5
set myString to "192.168.0.118"
repeat with currentCharacter in every character of myString
tell application "system events"
keystroke currentCharacter
end tell
delay 0.25
end repeat
tell application "system events"
keystroke return
end run
AppleScript has a Syntax Error of "Expected end of line, etc. but found command name."
Does anyone ( taylor.henderson where are you! ) have a fix, or even a better way to do this? Can I edit the existing .jar to have the info directly in there?
I would actually love to add another section in there that fills in the username and password after entering in the IP address!
Just for clarification on how this goes:
Launch .jar.
Window Launches and prompts for IP address
Enter in IP address
Press RETURN
Windows disappears and new window appears and prompts for username and password
Enter Username
Press TAB
Enter Password
Press RETURN
Thank you guys, I'm sure it's easy, but hey, for me Photoshop and Illustrator are a breeze :-0

Is it possible to use similar commands to maximize the java window?
Yes.
You must enable the checkbox labeled "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access System Preference pane
Add these lines after the last line wich contains "keystroke return"
delay 2
tell (first process whose frontmost is true) to click button 2 of window 1 -- zoom
Here's my test script ( the Speco camera demo), that works without problems here, I use the application "DVRJavaView4.1.jar", this script checks the existence of ui element (more reliable) rather than any delay.
on run
     do shell script "/usr/bin/open '/Applications/DVRJavaView4.1.jar'"
     tell application "System Events" to tell (first process whose frontmost is true)
          repeat until exists window "Please Input DVR address"
               delay 1
          end repeat
          keystroke "millapt.ddns.specoddns.net"
          keystroke return
          repeat until exists button "OK" of window 1
               delay 1 -- wait until the login window is frontmost
          end repeat
          keystroke "user"
          keystroke tab
          delay 0.1
          keystroke "4321"
          delay 0.1
          keystroke return
          repeat until name of window 1 starts with "DVRJavaView"
               delay 1 --wait while the login window is frontmost
          end repeat
          click button 2 of window 1 -- zoom
     end tell
end run

Using java class and variables declared in java file in jsp

hi everyone
i m trying to seperate business logic form web layer. i don't know i am doing in a right way or not.
i wanted to access my own java class and its variables in jsp.
for this i created java file like this
package ris;
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class NewClass{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        Connection con = null;
        ResultSet rs=null;
        Statement smt=null;
        try{
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
            con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///net","root", "anthony111");
            smt=con.createStatement();
           rs= smt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM emp");
           while(rs.next()){
            String str = rs.getString("Name");
            }catch( Exception e){
                String msg="Exception:"+e.getMessage();
            }finally {
      try {
        if(con != null)
          con.close();
      } catch(SQLException e) {}
}next i created a jsp where i want to access String str defined in java class above.

Very bad approach
1) Think if your table contains more than one NAMEs then you will get only the last one with your code.
2) Your String is declared as local variable in the method.
3) You have not created any object of NewClass nor called the method in JSP page. Then who will call the method to run sql?
4) Your NewClass contains main method which will not work in web application, it's not standalone desktop application so remove main.
Better create an ArrayList and then call the method of NewClass and then store the data into ArrayList and return the ArrayList.
It should look like
{code:java}
package ris;
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class NewClass{
    public static ArrayList getNames(){
        Connection con = null;
        ResultSet rs=null;
        Statement smt=null;
        ArrayList nameList = new ArrayList();
        try{

Use java edition and native edition at same time in a single java app

Hi
I have a situation where I need to use both versions of berkeley Db at the same time. I have an external library that I use that requires the Java edition and my own code that uses the native version. Unfortunately the source code of the library is not available and I don't want to redesign my program to use the Java edition.
Some packages in je.4.0.103.jar and db.jar (version 5.1) contain the same naming structure and same classes eg. com.sleepycat.persist.EntityStore. I removed the duplicated packages in je.4.0.103.jar However it seems that the implementation is slightly different between the two version as I get
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sleepycat.persist.EntityStore.<init>(Lcom/sleepycat/je/Environment;Ljava/lang/String;Lcom/sleepycat/persist/StoreConfig;)V
When I simply had both versions available my code for the native version kept using the packages from the Java edition and the external library kept on using the native version and as a result I got loads of runtime errors.
So how do I tell them apart. The problem is because both sets of packages have identical names and class names so Java does not know which ones to use. I am using eclipse so maybe there is some option where I can tell certain classes to use certain packages.
Any ideas?

Hi,
We don't officially support using BDB and BDB JE from the same JVM process.
It's possible to work around this limitation by creating two [url http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/ClassLoader.html] Java Classloaders that load one of the two jar files. When calling BDB or BDB JE methods, the call must be bracketed with calls like this that cause the correct classloader to be used:
ClassLoader saveLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(/* specify correct loader for BDB or BDB JE here */);
try {
// do something with BDB or BDB JE
} finally {
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(saveLoader);
}We are not experts on classloaders and we don't have an example of doing this. We have not done it ourselves, we only know that users have done it.
I hope this helps.

Compatibility issues between Berkeley DB Java Edition and Berkeley DB

We are trying to use both Berkeley DB Java Edition and Berkeley DB (Java/C) in one of our projects. However, they share the common classes (i.e. EntryDingin.java), but with their own different impementation. Is there any reason that they have to share the same names/packages? Can we request to have the shared java classes going into different packages?
Thanks
Yao

Hello Yao,
You're correct and the DB and JE products were not designed to run under the same classloader in the same JVM. It is very unlikely that we'll be changing the package names, since that would be very disruptive and yet have no value for the overwhelming majority of users. We will note your request, however, for future reference.
The two workarounds I know of are:
1. Use a separate classloader for the use of each product.
2. Use a tool such as jarjar links (http://code.google.com/p/jarjar/) to rename the packages in one or both of the products.
Option 2 is not something we (the JE team members) have experience with, but it was used successfully by a JE user. The user also pointed out a bug in the jarjar tool to be aware of: http://code.google.com/p/jarjar/issues/detail?id=21
