I think the visibility of the protected method [doProtectedMethod2()]is due to the import statement (import chapter1.fruit.Banana in fruit.java

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

Hi Valentin Tanase

Thanks for the reply

Thanks

I found this in jGuru- EJB Tutorials

In stateful beans, passivation means the bean's conversational-state is written to a secondary storage (often disk) and the instance is removed from memory

To my understanding, removal of bean instance from memory should be done by the remove() method. Does passivation call the remove() method?
Please clarify this.


Thanks

I am having problems with deploying jar files in TOMCAT. I am using TOMACT version 5. I created a web application and copied a jar file into /WEB-INF/lib directory and restarted TOMCAT. The jar file is not getting deployed.

I came to know from some forums that problems like these exist only in older versions of TOMCAT (version 3). I am not able to understand why this exists in version 5 of TOMCAT.

Please clarify this.

Thanks

Dear Mr. James,

Thanks for replying. I dont have any tag by name <jsp-config> in my web.xml.
I downloaded jar files for JSTL from apache.org. I have given one of the jar files (standard.jar) as reference in my IDE. Now I am getting an exception which says

[Servlet Error]-[javax/servlet/jsp/el/ELException]: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/jsp/el/ELException


Please advise in this regard.

Thanks

I call openConnection() method on a URL object. I try to assign this to HttpURLConnection reference ,

url = URL(...); //LINE 1
HttpURLConnection huc = url.openConnection(); //LINE 2

I am getting an error which says

incompatible types
found : java.net.URLConnection
required: java.net.HttpURLConnection
huc = url.openConnection();

When I do System.out.pritln(url.openConnection().getClass()), I get something like
classs sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.

I expected the class to be of type java.net.HttpURLConnection. Please tell me why the class is different. Please help me in fixing the error I get in line 2 of code

Thanks

Hope this clears

I think i1 is not parent of base. I1 is an interface reference to an object of type base. I feel Line 4 is valid at runtime because an object reference (obj) can be casted to an interface reference (i1) if the object's class implements that interface. (class base implements I1 in this case)

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hello Ben,

Thanks a lot for the reply.

My doubt is about getParameter method of the HttpServletRequest object. I have a form that submits 3 values(HPUnix, Solaris, Linux). When I retrieve these values and display them I get the values in reverse-alphabetical order , i.e (Solaris, Linux, HPUnix). I think that parameter values from a form are submitted in the order in the which the corresponding elements appear in the form. I assume that the reverse alhabetical order is because of getParameter method. Please let me know whether I am correct.

Thanks
Karthik.

Thanks for all the replies.It was helpful

Methods declared in an interface are implicitly public and abstract. These methods cannot have modifiers such as static/native/synchronized/strictfp.

Fields (member variables) in an interface are implcitly public static final.

When you consider modifiers for interface itself, they can be private/protected for Nested interfaces. Nested interfaces are implicitly static. You cannot apply private/protected/static for top-level interfaces.

Refer http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/interfaces.doc.html#235947 for more details.

Hello,

This is regarding your question about inner interfaces.......

Member Interfaces are never INNER. Member interfaces are always implicitly static. This is from JLS http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/classes.doc.html#262890
