URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and it points to resource files on the Internet. URL has four components: http://www. address. com:80/index.html, where http - protocol name, address - IP address or host name, 80 - port number and index.html - file path.
What is RMI and steps involved in developing an RMI object?
Remote Method Invocation (RMI) allows java object that executes on one machine and to invoke the method of a Java object to execute on another machine. The steps involved in developing an RMI object are: a) Define the interfaces b) Implementing these interfaces c) Compile the interfaces and their implementations with the java compiler d) Compile the server implementation with RMI compiler e) Run the RMI registry f) Run the application
What is a Java Bean?
A Java Bean is a software component that has been designed to be reusable in a variety of different environments.
What is a Jar file?
Jar file allows to efficiently deploying a set of classes and their associated resources. The elements in a jar file are compressed, which makes downloading a Jar file much faster than separately downloading several uncompressed files. The package java. util. zip contains classes that read and write jar files.
What is BDK?
BDK, Bean Development Kit is a tool that enables to create, configure and connect a set of set of Beans and it can be used to test Beans without writing a code.
What is JSP?
JSP is a dynamic scripting capability for web pages that
allows Java as well as a few special tags to be embedded into a web file
(HTML/XML, etc). The suffix traditionally ends with .jsp to indicate to
the web server that the file is a JSP files. JSP is a server side technology
- you can’t do any client side validation with it. The advantages are:
a) The JSP assists in making the HTML more functional.
Servlets on the other hand allow outputting of HTML but it is a tedious
process.
b) It is easy to make a change and then let the JSP capability
of the web server you are using deal with compiling it into a servlet and
running it.
How are Servlets and JSP Pages related?
JSP pages are focused around HTML (or XML) with Java codes and JSP tags inside them. When a web server that has JSP support is asked for a JSP page, it checks to see if it has already compiled the page into a servlet. Thus, JSP pages become servlets and are transformed into pure Java and then compiled, loaded into the server and executed.
Difference between application server and web-server.
The Web server
A Web server handles the HTTP protocol. When the Web server receives an HTTP request, it responds with an HTTP response, such as sending back an HTML page. To process a request, a Web server may respond with a static HTML page or image, send a redirect, or delegate the dynamic response generation to some other program such as CGI scripts, JSPs (JavaServer Pages), servlets, ASPs (Active Server Pages), server-side JavaScripts, or some other server-side technology. Whatever their purpose, such server-side programs generate a response, most often in HTML, for viewing in a Web browser.
The application server
An application server exposes business logic to client
applications through various protocols, possibly including HTTP. While
a Web server mainly deals with sending HTML for display in a Web browser,
an application server provides access to business logic for use by client
application programs. The application program can use this logic just as
it would call a method on an object (or a function in the procedural world).
Such application server clients can include GUIs (graphical
user interface) running on a PC, a Web server, or even other application
servers. The information traveling back and forth between an application
server and its client is not restricted to simple display markup. Instead,
the information is program logic. Since the logic takes the form of data
and method calls and not static HTML, the client can employ the exposed
business logic however it wants.
In most cases, the server exposes this business logic through a component API, such as the EJB (Enterprise JavaBean) component model found on J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) application servers. Moreover, the application server manages its own resources. Such gate-keeping duties include security, transaction processing, resource pooling, and messaging.
What is Jakarta Struts Framework?
Jakarta Struts is open source implementation of MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern for the development of web based applications. Jakarta Struts is robust architecture and can be used for the development of application of any size. Struts framework makes it much easier to design scalable, reliable Web applications with Java.
What is ActionServlet?
The class org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet is the called the ActionServlet. In the the Jakarta Struts Framework this class plays the role of controller. All the requests to the server goes through the controller. Controller is responsible for handling all the requests.
