Interview

Most frequently asking java basics interview questions and answers has been updated in the post. 
Q1: How many JVM's can run on a single machine?

A: No limitation. JVM is just like any other process.

Q2: What is the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler?

A: The java interpreter on any platform will interpret the compiled bytecode into instructions understandable by the particular hardware. However, the Java Virtual Machine handles one bytecode instruction at a time. The Just-In-Time compiler compiles the bytecode into the particular machine code. Once the code has been (re-)compiled by the JIT compiler, it will usually run more quickly in that system.
(OR)
JIT Compiler is the part of JVM which increases the speed of execution of a java program.

Q3: What is the use of 'classpath' environment variable?

A: Classpath is the list of directories through which the jvm will search to find a class. It is different from OS environment variable PATH.

If you need to learn how to set classpath, please go through this link set Java Path?

Q4: Can java code be retrieved from byte-code?

A: Yes, class files can be de-compiled using utilities like JAD. This takes the class file as input and generates a java file.

Q5: What is a garbage collection?

A: When an object is no longer required (when its reference count is 0), its memory needs to be cleaned up and freed. This is what the garbage collector does. Garbage collector is a thread running as part of the JVM process. The basic garbage collector uses "mark and sweep" algorithm.

Q6: Can the garbage collector be forced to run?

A: No. Calling the System.gc() method only suggest that the JVM expand effort toward recycling unused objects in order to make the memory they currently occupy available for them. When control returns from the method call, the JVM has made a best effort to reclaim space from all declared objects. This doesn't guarantee that the garbage collector is called

The call System.gc() is effectively equivalent to the call:

Runtime.getRuntime().gc()

(Or)
Garbage Collector is automatically invoked when the program is being run. It can be also called by calling gc() method of Runtime class or System class in java.

how to count the page views by using JSP

To count no.of page's are viewed by user in your application is a challenge in real time application. In this page we will see how to count the page views when user has viewed the page.           Here, we will do one example how many times user has visited each page in our application. In this post we will come to know, how to count the total application page views as well as individually each pages count.           Let us assume my web application name is "Page Counter". For creating the web application in eclipse IDE, Click here . This Page Counter contains three pages, assume that are the different pages in an application. But, there is the link between each other files for navigating from one page to another. Also it will show the total pages view count and individual page view count in all the pages. Let us see, below is my first jsp file,           You can declare the below content inside the < body > tag. Rest of the content in every page will b

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/transaction/SystemException

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/transaction/SystemException error we got in Hibernate 4.3 to work with my MySQL database. We are using hibernate code generation tool in Eclipse and we are able to connect to the database using the Hibernate configuration file. When we try to run code in my Main class application is connecting to the database, but transaction is failing and we got the following error: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Exception in thread "main" java . lang .

Multithreading in java with example

Multithreading  is one of the most important concept in core java. In this article we will learn what is multithreading? , what is the use of it? and What is the use of Synchronization and when to use it?  with detailed examples. At a time, two or more threads are accessing the same object is called as Multithreading  in Java .  First, we will create two threads for two objects. It is also possible to run two or more threads on a single class object. In this case, there is a possibility to get unreliable results. If the two threads are perform same task, then they need same object to be executed each time. For your better understanding, take an example of any reservations like, railway, movie ticket booking,etc. Let us think only one berth is available in a train and two passengers are asking for that berth. The first person has sent a request to allocate that ticket/berth to him. At the same time, the second person also sent a request to allocate that ticket/berth to him
