Question 1: what type of basic questions they are asked in Webservices?
 
Answer  1:basic web service questions include:
1)what do you mean by a Web service? what is the advantage
of using a Web service?

2)what is an WSDL?Specifications ?How are they generated?
How do you generate proxies from a WSDL?

3)what is an UDDI? Who takes care of registering
services ,modifying and deleting them?
   
 
 
Answer1:  the term Web Services refers to the technologies that allow
for making connections. Services are what you connect
together using Web Services. A service is the endpoint of a
connection. Also, a service has some type of underlying
computer system that supports the connection offered. The
combination of services - internal and external to an
organization - make up a service-oriented architecture
 
 
 
Answer 2 Basic question related to webservices
SOA
SOAP
WSDL
Service Provider
Service Consumer
XML
UDDI
CORBA/RMI

These are basic step for web services
   
 
 


   
Question :4 What is SOAP and why it is required ?
 
Answer 4: SOAP stands for simple object Access protocol .

SOAP structures a message into two main parts: the headers
and the body.
SOAP is more than just a sender-receiver protocol, although
that, too, is certainly the dominant use today. SOAP
supports the concept of a message passing from a recipient,
possibly through one or more intermediaries, and ending up
at its destination, more precisely known as the ultimate
receiver.
   
 
 
Answer::  SOAP is core part of WEB-SERVICE. Mainly SOAP is an XML
syntax for exchanging message because of XML is language and
platform
indepent.SOAP is use when we are creating web services
because  Web services means publish a method(method resolve
business logic) globally.

Answer  Simple object access protocal
 
 
 
Question5:  About how soap messages are sent and received in web service ?

Answer5:  we can sent and receive soap msg with the help of HTTP, FTP
or SMTP protocols. we need to bind the soap envelope in
protocol and then we can send and receive our msg over the
netwok.
   
 
 
Question6 : How to use SOAP-DSIG and SSL for non-repudiation?

Answer 6: SOAP-DSIG is used to satisfy the message authentication
requirement. It is important to note that you can use SOAP-
DSIG and SSL simultaneously by exchanging


    the above HTTP messages over SSL.     





Technology Satisfied security requirements
SSL Confidentiality, sender/recipient authentication, and
message authentication by MAC
SOAP-DSIG Message authentication by digital signature and
MAC


        SSL provides confidentiality and sender/recipient
authentication. SSL also has functionality for adding MACs
to transmitted messages. On the other hand,


SOAP-DSIG can be used to add not only MACs but also digital
signatures to transmitted messages, but it is not
sufficient for sender/recipient authentication


because it is vulnerable to attacks such as replay attacks.
Therefore, SOAP-DSIG and SSL complement the functionalities
that the other system lacks.

         

         Remember that in order to satisfy the requirement
of non-repudiation, at a minimum you need to simultaneously
guarantee both message authentication by using a

        digital signature and sender authentication.
Therefore, using SOAP-DSIG and SSL (with client
authentication) simultaneously is the first step towards
realizing non-        repudiation. Specifically, you use
SOAP-DSIG for message authentication by using a digital
signature and SSL client/server authentication for
sender/recipient authentication.
   

 
 
Question 7:: What software elements must be assembled to build a SOAP
Server?

Answer 7::; At a minimum, all you really need is an XML processor and
an HTTP server.If you're using Visual Basic 6.0 or VBA,
then you probably want to use either Microsoft SOAP Toolkit
or PocketSOAP. If you're using VB.NET or C#, then you       
probably want to use Visual Studio.NET or the .NET
Framework. If you're using Delphi, then you want to use
Borland's Web services support in Delphi. If you're       
using C++, then you probably want to use Systinet WASP
Server for C++ or gSOAP. If you're using Java, then you
have a choice of about a dozen     implementations (Apache
Axis, Systinet WASP Server for Java, The Mind Electric
GLUE, Cape Clear Cape Connect, IONA XMLBus, BEA Workshop,
etc.)



            Favorite Java environments are WASP, GLUE, and
Axis. All offer excellent tools, they're portable across a
wide range of servlet engines, and they work!WASP and GLUE
can run standalone.
 

 
 
Question 8: What is the difference between a fault and exception in
Apache SOAP?

Answer8:::  The difference lies in where the error occurs - on the
client side (during the generation of the soap request or
the unmarshalling the response) - or on the server side
(when unmarshalling the request, processing the message or
marshalling the response). The client side raises an
exception  whereas the server side sends a SOAP response to
the client indicating an error occured on the server side
(ie. you get a SOAP fault).

        For example, sending a SOAP encoded request for a
method that does not exist results in a SOAP fault whereas
if the server sends a response with a field that does not
exist in a client side class a SOAP exception will be
raised.
   

 
 
Question  9How is SOAP different from traditional RPC?

Answe9r::  In SOAP, procedures take named parameters and order is
irrelevant. In XML-RPC order is relevant and parameters do
not have names.
   

 
 
Question  10:What is SOAP Version 1.2?

Answer10 :: SOAP version 1.2 is a lightweight protocol for exchange of
information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It
is an XML based protocol that consists of four parts: an
envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in
a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules
for expressing instances of application-defined data types,
a convention for representing remote procedure calls and
responses and a binding convention for exchanging messages
using an underlying protocol. SOAP can potentially be used
in combination with a variety of other protocols; however,
the only bindings defined in this document describe how to
use SOAP in combination with HTTP and the experimental HTTP
Extension Framework.
   

 
 
Question  11What is an ESB?

 
Answer11::  An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a standards-based,
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) backbone, capable of
connecting applications through service interfaces. By
combining Messaging, Web Services, XML, Data Transformation
and Management, an ESB can reliably connect, mediate and
control all communications and interactions between
services.
 

 
 
Answer:  An esb is a very important component of SOA. Imagine all
your web services built on different technologies
(java,.net,mainframe)..interacting with each other using
xml for data transmission..One doesn't have to worry about
the schema transformation,protocol switching or message
enrichment..the esb does it all for you ..
 
 
Question 12 What is loosely coupled?

Answer12::  it basically means that the services that you use are
reusable.One service does not depend upon the other.A
change in a .net service shall not affect another service
developed in java.All the components that is needed for an
application must not be tightly coupled so that a single
change in some class changes all other parts of the
application.Instead break the whole application into small
components ,expose them as web services and orchestrate .
   
 
 
Question 13: What do you mean by SOAP encoding?
 
Answer 13: A.SOAP uses an XML format to encode data. There are two ways
in which it maps high level datatypes like integers, arrays
to a serialized XML format- Section 5 encoding and Literal
encoding. Section 5 encoding, also called SOAP encoding, is
named after the section in the SOAP 1.1 specification that
defines it. Literal encoding on the other hand uses a XML

What is difference between Application Server and Web
Server?

Answer
In web server we can run onyy servlet and jsp but in
application server we can run servlet,jsp and ejb..
WEB-SERVER-Tomcat,resin
App-WEBLOGIC,JBOSS


 
 
Question 2 What is IOC in spring?

Answer 

IOC(Inversion of control)is a technique that allows object
configuration to be moved out of code and into a
configuration file. With Spring IOC, this is typically done
with an XML file.
The steps to use Spring IOC are:

1. Write Java Bean classes, with getter and setter methods
for each property to be configured by Spring.
2. Create an XML file that describes the Java Beans to be
configured.
3. Use an XMLBeanFactory to create configured beans. There
are other ways to read bean descriptions, but using an
XmlBeanFactory is more common.
   
 
 
Question 3
What is the difference between Eclipse and MyEclipse?

Answer  Eclipse needs MyEclipse plugable source
But MyEclipse did not required any plugable source

 
 


   
Question 4
Difference between Spring framework and Struts framework?
 
Answer  STRUTS :
1.Struts framework is based on MVC pattern to develop web
applications and which is used to generate integration logic
dynamically.
2.Struts allows only JSP as a view component.

SPRING:
1.Spring framework is used to develop enterprise applications.
2.Spring framework not only allows JSPs but also other views
such as Velocity,Freemaker etc.,
3.Spring f/w consists of 6 modules which are alternatives
for existing J2ee Technologies.


 
 
Answer  struts framework is a mvc pattern. spring framework is a
mvc pattern and other patterns also include in this.
   
Answer  Spring framework provides dependency injection.Which is
alternative to EJB.Spring framework provides many features
like velocity,Hibernate,Ibatis,PDF,Excel
views,JDO,Interceptors,web services.Whic can be built in
Spring framework very easily.It is a J2EE application
framewrok.


Struts is MVC pattern provides limited features.For
distributed applications it will have to use EJB.
    0  Yugandhar
[Java] 
 
 
Answer  Struts is a web framework which can be used to develop web
applications using MVC pattern. We have to hard code to use
applications like hibernate, jdbc, etc.

Spring is an application framework in which spring MVC is
one of the modules of spring framework. Spring uses the
concept of IOC/DI where the objects are not hard coded in
java but they are injected using construtor/setter
injection. We can use hibernate, jdbc, etc,...with spring
without hard coding in application as spring supports
classes hibernate, jdbc, and many more. This is very little
to say about spring. There are many features to be known.

Question 5
What is need of DAO? Write one simple DAO example?

Answer  DAO: Data Access Object. here the main concept of DAO is to
communicate with the database. DAO mainly contains
1.) DAOFactory: this specifies which kind of database
(wether MySQL or ORACLE or MSSQL etc...).

2.) SQLFactory: which extends the DAOFactory. Here we do
all the connection stuffs.deciding te driver, hostname,
URL, username, password etc and also getting the Connection
object.

3.) AdminDAO: this is a interface where we declare all the
methods which we need in our application to perform all the
database related operation.

4.) SQLAdminFactory: this implements the AdminDAO
interface, all its method. this also gets the connection
from SQLFactory.

5.) TransactionControlDAO: here we keep the commit and
roolback methods.

if required...
6) ConnectionConstant: in this file we can mention the file
name (.properties file) where we keep the connection
detals, like hostname, username, password, etc...
   
 
Question 6
What is the use of log4j and how to make use of
that in a application?

Answer  log4j can be used for writing the log messages to various
kinds of destinations like a file, database, console etc...

It is always advisable to use some sort of logging API to
generate the log messages.the log messages helps the end
user as well as the developer of the application, to kow
about what the application has done and why the application
has failed, etc...

It is developed by Apache and this is used as part of
various products like hibernate, struts, strings etc...
 

 
 
Question 7 what is difference between vector and arraylist?.


Answer  vector is synchronized . collection object and variable
slow acess. muntable
array list is never snchronized. collection variable fast
acess


 
 
Answer  Vector is synchronized and compare to array list this slow
access, by defaulst the vector is 10,this is legacy class
Where as arraylist is unsynchronized and fast random
access,in arraylist there is no default size automatically
it is growable once the object is created it will be

hi ...tis is the one i was searchng...thanks for ur post..

hi i find it very new...

thanks for ur infrmatn......

Stocks closed in the red for the third consecutive week, largely triggered by US's worst unemployment numbers in 26 years and dismal housing data. There were also apprehensions that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may leave the indicative rates unchanged or tinker just a little with them in the upcoming third quarter review.


The downward rally was led by mainly by IT and banking majors. ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, State Bank of India, Infosys and TCS fell by over 2 per cent.

The Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index or Sensex fell by 139.49 points to close at 8,674.35 points. The Nifty closed at 2678.55, down 35.25 points.

Yesterday, US indices fell quite sharply on bad unemployment data and reports that Microsoft plans to cut 5,000 jobs. The Dow Jones and S & P 500 were down by 1.28 per cent and 1.52 per cent, respectively.

The market breadth was negative. Out of 2,503 stocks traded, 796 advanced and 1,609 declined.

Deven Choksey, managing director, K R Choksey said that though the initial corporate results were satisfactory, investors are still cautious about committing themselves.

While oil & gas, healthcare and consumer durables indices were up less than one per cent, others fell. Bankex fell 4.16 per cent, metal index fell 3.35 per cent, capital goods (-2.87 per cent), realty (-2.45 per cent) and IT (-2.2 per cent).

Learn word lists early in the morning. That's believed to help you remember the words longer. Also concentrate on word lists starting with A, P, S, R, T, and C if you are short on time.
Get to the word etymology if you have a hard time remembering the word's meaning. Try to read the word in context and use it.
Be prepared with the CAT computer format.
Schedule the test for a day and time that work best for you.
Remember to eat a healthy breakfast, drink plenty of fluids and dress comfortably on exam day.
Pack your exam materials (identification, pencils, directions, etc.) and arrive early at the test site to reduce stress.
Read the GRE website [1] thoroughly and carefully. It includes a wealth of information about what to expect on the test.



General Tips
Use the process of elimination in finalizing an answer choice when you are not sure. Eliminate any answers you know are wrong, then take your best guess as to which of the remaining choices are correct.
Use the scratch paper for calculations.
Look at the display time on the computer occasionally and pace yourself accordingly.
Use abbreviations for names, colors etc.
Do not assume anything until it is explicitly stated.



Analytical Tips
Use an essay template. The Issue Essay should include a summary of the argument, a summary of the opposing side and at least three points supporting your argument choice. The Argument Essay you are evaluating should include conclusion, premises, and assumptions. Practice writing sample essay questions, especially if you have not done thesis style writing or have not done it lately.



Verbal Analogies Tips
Determine the relationship between the two words and use it in a sentence.
Look for common relationships: part to whole, cause to effect, person to occupation, word to definition, and synonyms.
Look for the parts of speech of the words. The answer choice words should have the same parts of speech as the ones in the question.



Verbal Sentence Completion Tips
Come up with your own words for each blank without looking at the answers.
Get rid of answers that don't match your words.
Use the context of the sentence. If the sentence implies that you're looking for a positive word, then your answer should be a positive word also.
If the sentence has more than one blank, make sure all the blanks fit in correctly.



Verbal Antonyms Tips
Come up with your own opposite. Eliminate answers that do not fit in with the mood of the word.



Verbal Reading Comprehension
Do not learn the content. You don't have to understand the passage to get the main idea of the article. Your ability to comprehend the material is tested here.
Answer based on the reading. Do not use existing knowledge on a given topic to answer the questions. Remember, the directions say to choose the best answer and not correct answer.
Read ALL of the choices before you pick an answer.
Quantitative Tips
Use reverse calculation or logic to eliminate unrealistic answers.
Be clear about basic math vocabulary (words like LCM, HCF, integers, etc.).
Review:
Statistics (averages, mean, median, mode, range)
geometry (triangles, area, perimeter, circles, Pythagorean Theorem)
exponents, factorials, fractions, inequalities, proportions
order of operations (ODMAS-brackets, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction)
permutations, probability
quadratic equations, ratios, roots

hi tis is useful i workd out...thanks

Oracle datatype restrictions
See the Mirror Activator for Oracle Release Bulletin for the latest information on datatype restrictions.

Replication Server and Mirror Replication Agent impose the following constraints on the Oracle NUMBER datatype:

In the integer representation:

The corresponding Sybase int datatype has a smaller absolute maximum value.

The Oracle NUMBER absolute maximum value is 38 digits of precision, between 9.9 x 10125 and 1 x 10-130. The Sybase int value is between 231 - 1 and -231 (2,147,483,647 and -2,147,483,648), inclusive.

Oracle NUMBER values greater than the Sybase int maximum are rejected by Replication Server.

To avoid Replication Server restrictions using the int datatype, use the rs_oracle_decimal datatype instead when creating replication definitions for tables with large Number values.

In the floating point representation:

The precision of the floating point representation has the same range limitation as the integer representation.

If the floating point value is outside the Sybase range of 231 - 1 and -231 (2,147,483,647 and -2,147,483,648), Mirror Replication Agent converts the number into exponential format to make it acceptable to Replication Server. No loss of precision or scale occurs.

Replication Server and Mirror Replication Agent impose the following constraints on the Oracle TIMESTAMP WITH [LOCAL] TIME ZONE datatype:

When a timestamp with time zone datatype is replicated, the time zone information is used to resolve the timestamp value to the 'local' time zone and then the resolved value is replicated. The time zone information itself is not replicated.

As an example, if a timestamp with time zone is recorded in Oracle as "01-JAN-05 09:00:00.000000 AM -8:00" and the 'local' timezone is -6:00, the value replicated will be "01-JAN-05 11:00:00.000000." The timestamp value is adjusted for the difference between the recorded timezone of -8:00 and the local time zone of -6:00, and the adjusted value is replicated.

Oracle time zone files are platform-dependent.

If you use a version of Replication Server prior to version 12.5, the following size restrictions are imposed on Oracle datatypes:

Oracle BLOB, CLOB, NCLOB, and BFILE datatypes that contain more than 2GB will be truncated to 2GB.

Oracle CHAR, RAW, ROWID, and VARCHAR2 datatypes that contain more than 255 bytes will be truncated to 255 bytes.

Oracle NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 multibyte character datatypes are replicated as char or varchar single-byte datatypes.

With Replication Server version 12.5 or later, these datatype size restrictions are no longer in effect.

The following Oracle datatypes are not supported:

ORDDoc

BFILE

UnType

DBUnType

HttpUriType

FTPUriType

ORDAudio

ORDImage

ORDVideo

Opaque

XML types

Oracle UDD Ref Type

Oracle UDD Varray Type

Oracle UDD Nested Table Type

The 14-year-old left her home in Idaho Springs, Colorado, about 10 a.m. August 16, 1983. When she wasn't back that afternoon, her family called police.

Miller normally jogged in a nearby park. Investigators say she may have been seen last talking with a man who was behind the wheel of a red pickup with a white camper top and out-of-state license plates.

Immediately after Miller's disappearance, many red pickups were stopped, but none could be linked to Miller's disappearance.

Miller was not carrying any cash or personal belongings. Family and friends say she always left a note for her parents if she planned to be gone long.

But on the day she vanished, Miller left no note, her family told police. She didn't take the money she earned babysitting. Her parents insisted she would not have left intentionally for such a long time.

Over the years, the Beth Miller case has taken many twists and turns. Most recently, a grand jury investigation was called in 2007, but no indictments were returned.

Several theories are still being investigated, but over the years, no clues have surfaced. No remains have been found that could be identified as Miller's.

Police had suspicions that an Ohio man may have been involved in Miller's abduction, but he was never charged.

A serial killer from Mississippi claimed he had killed Beth Miller, but police dismissed the lead because his story didn't add up.

The most credible lead focused on a New Mexico man named Edward Apodaca, who is now dead. His former girlfriend claimed that she had helped him bury Miller in the mountains near Idaho Springs, but when police searched with cadaver dogs and excavated the area, no remains were found.

Several sightings of women thought to be Beth Miller have been reported. In 1995, a woman who was picked up by police in Tampa, Florida, claimed she was Beth Miller. Miller's family flew down to meet the woman, only to find that she was not their daughter.

In a bid to widen its geographical coverage, Norton, the consumer arm of Symantec, plans to appoint a large network of sub-distributors across the country.

"To meet our objective of wider market coverage, we plan to appoint at least one sub-distributor in each of the state capitals of the country. We have recently appointed three new sub-distributors for Rajasthan, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh and one for the entire North-Eastern region. All these sub-distributors will promote the entire Norton product line-up to the home, SOHO and SMB segments through their networks of resellers, retailers, and assemblers," said Gaurav Kanwal, Country Sales Manager (Norton), Symantec India.

Norton's plan is to double its market coverage to 360 cities and towns from the existing 180 and thus also double its registered reseller base from 1,800 to 3,600.

Another area, where Symantec plans to increase  its footprint is the retail segment. "We are extremely bullish about retail and are looking at expanding our retail presence across India. Currently, we have tie-ups with major retail chains like Croma, Staples and Reliance Digital. We will now concentrate on selling our products through alternate channels too," Kanwal added.

While, the vendor already has Ingram Micro and Redington as its national distributors, it has appointed Aladdin Multimedia as its exclusive distributor for the retail segment. Aladdin Multimedia mainly deals with LFRs like Croma and Staples.

The vendor is also planning to add more layers to its Norton Champs partner program. It plans to add training and an online test. "We plan to start a newsletter for our partners. This newsletter will not only feature new products but would feature articles sent in by partners. They can write about topics like threat management, self-made businesses and their experiences while dealing with Symantec," informed Kanwal.

The version of Windows 7 Beta 1 that Microsoft made available for download on its Technet site Thursday does not support upgrades from systems running its Windows XP operating system, according to a first look at the available code in the CRN Test Center.

It does, however, permit upgrades from Vista SP1 to Windows 7.



A Microsoft spokesman said that no final decisions have yet been made about what will be included or not included in the generally available version of Windows 7, but that the company as a practice advises only clean installations of operating systems during the beta phase anyway.

For now, the beta version of Windows 7 only permits upgrades from Vista SP1 -- meaning there is at the moment no way to test or evaluate a straight XP-to-Windows 7 migration.

"We've just been telling people like we always do, conduct a clean install. That's the safest bet anyway," the spokesman said. "It shouldn't be too much of a surprise."

Microsoft announced late Wednesday night in Las Vegas that it was making its first beta version of its next generation desktop OS available via Technet and MSDN, and CEO Steve Ballmer said the general public would have access to the beta -- for free-- as of Friday. The beta will work through August of this year, giving virtually the entire market an opportunity to play around with it and evaluate Windows 7 before they have to pay for it.

The Test Center's first look at Windows 7 in beta form found:

-- Attempts to upgrade from XP were met by a warning that: "To upgrade to Windows 7, the computer needs to be running Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later. Upgrading from Windows XP to any edition of Windows 7 is not supported;"

-- On the same PC test bed, performance measured by Primate Labs' Geekbench 2.1 benchmarking software indicates that performance deteriorates slightly on the same PC from Windows XP to Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate;

-- Once Vista SP1 is installed and running, the upgrade from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate took an hour and 16 minutes. It is an extremely smooth upgrade -- something that could be a relief to a channel and a market that suffered extreme headaches in trying to go from XP to Vista. Compared to complaints from the market during previous OS upgrades, Vista-to-Windows 7 is a breeze, introduces subtle-but-nice interface changes and provides refreshingly strong support for several basic drivers and applications.

Our test bed was built with an AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core processor at 2.20GHz, 4 GB of RAM, an Nvidia 6100 nForce 4300 card. In our upgrade from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate, we included, among other applications, Firefox 3.0, Google Chrome and Safari browsers; Microsoft Office 2007; WordPerfect Office X4; Skype; the Digsby IM client; a FireFox plug-in, Ubiquity; and a new, free application made available this week, from Tech Smith, called "Jing," which provides for image and video desktop screen captures. Adobe Flash player was also on the Vista system.

Following the upgrade, every single application worked as it should. Skype in Windows 7 did come with a compatibility warning, but upon opening it up and trying it out, it worked just fine.

Microsoft did provide a warning to back up any .mp3 files before upgrading from Vista to Windows 7; however, the upgrade went through and the .mp3 files we had on the system survived just fine.

Once installed, Windows 7 found easy access to a shared drive on the Test Center network. Once the driver for the Oki Data printer in the lab was installed, printing from the Windows 7 PC over the network was happily uneventful.

A note of caution, though: If you try to upgrade a Vista PC and you haven't yet installed SP 1 and all essential updates from Microsoft, the process could take an additional two hours. It did for us, so keep that in mind if you're planning to try the Vista to Windows 7 Beta 1 upgrade.

More testing on Windows 7 will be needed to evaluate its security, network management and support for more applications and drivers. But at first blush, the upgrade that caused so many tempers to flare during the last OS release seems to have been alleviated greatly this time around.

It remains to be seen, however, how the market will respond if Microsoft continues to deny an upgrade from XP to Windows 7.

Intel will be cutting prices on select processors on January 18th. The price cut which ranges from 5 percent to 24 percent is not as aggressive as some of the price cut seen last year

While there are minor price cuts on many processors, and larger cuts on some of the slow moving ones, the focus will be on the newly positioned Intel Core2Duo E7400 and Pentium Dual Core 5200.

This quarter the fastest moving processor in the system builder market is expected to the Pentium DualCore 5200 which will be available at Rs 3,500.

In other news, Intel is also expected to debut three new Core 2 Quad processors with a 65W rating compared to around 95 W for most of the current processors. These processors are Q8200s, Q9400s, and Q9550s, and are not expected to be launched in Indian market immediately. These processors which are prefixed with 'S' will be priced at a premium of Rs 3,000 and Rs 5,000 over their 95W cousins.

hi hi...its mind blowing topic thanks for it....its consious abt the future...tatleads me to plan

hi its a nice and interesting topic....its rediculous ..

1. Introduction
The first document in this set, RFC 2045, defines a number of header fields, including Content-Type. The Content-Type field is used to specify the nature of the data in the body of a MIME entity, by giving media type and subtype identifiers, and by providing auxiliary information that may be required for certain media types. After the type and subtype names, the remainder of the header field is simply a set of parameters, specified in an attribute/value notation. The ordering of parameters is not significant.

In general, the top-level media type is used to declare the general type of data, while the subtype specifies a specific format for that type of data. Thus, a media type of "image/xyz" is enough to tell a user agent that the data is an image, even if the user agent has no knowledge of the specific image format "xyz". Such information can be used, for example, to decide whether or not to show a user the raw data from an unrecognized subtype -- such an action might be reasonable for unrecognized subtypes of "text", but not for unrecognized subtypes of "image" or "audio". For this reason, registered subtypes of "text", "image", "audio", and "video" should not contain embedded information that is really of a different type. Such compound formats should be represented using the "multipart" or "application" types.

Parameters are modifiers of the media subtype, and as such do not fundamentally affect the nature of the content. The set of meaningful parameters depends on the media type and subtype. Most parameters are associated with a single specific subtype. However, a given top-level media type may define parameters which are applicable to any subtype of that type. Parameters may be required by their defining media type or subtype or they may be optional. MIME implementations must also ignore any parameters whose names they do not recognize.

MIME's Content-Type header field and media type mechanism has been carefully designed to be extensible, and it is expected that the set of media type/subtype pairs and their associated parameters will grow significantly over time. Several other MIME facilities, such as transfer encodings and "message/external-body" access types, are likely to have new values defined over time. In order to ensure that the set of such values is developed in an orderly, well-specified, and public manner, MIME sets up a registration process which uses the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) as a central registry for MIME's various areas of extensibility. The registration process for these areas is described in a companion document, RFC 2048. The initial seven standard top-level media type are defined and described in the remainder of this document.

fine .....not bad....i cant understand this...

hey its much useful...i tried it..it works well...gud my frnd.

* TOEFL = Test of English as a Foreign Language
* 80 multiple-choice synonym questions; 4 choices per question
* TOEFL questions available from [http://www.pearsonkt.com/bioLandauer.shtml Thomas Landauer]
* introduced in Landauer and Dumais (1997) as a way of evaluating algorithms for measuring degree of similarity between words
* subsequently used by many other researchers

== Explanation of table ==

* '''Algorithm''' = name of algorithm
* '''Reference for algorithm''' = where to find out more about given algorithm
* '''Reference for experiment''' = where to find out more about evaluation of given algorithm with TOEFL questions
* '''Type''' = general type of algorithm: corpus-based, lexicon-based, hybrid
* '''Correct''' = percent of 80 questions that given algorithm answered correctly
* '''95% confidence''' = confidence interval calculated using [http://www.quantitativeskills.com/sisa/statistics/onemean.htm Binomial Exact Test]
* table rows sorted in order of increasing percent correct
* several WordNet-based similarity measures are implemented in [http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/ Ted Pedersen]'s [http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/similarity.html WordNet::Similarity] package
* LSA = Latent Semantic Analysis
* PMI-IR = Pointwise Mutual Information - Information Retrieval
* PR = Product Rule
* PPMIC = Positive Pointwise Mutual Information with Cosine
* GLSA = Generalized Latent Semantic Analysis
* CWO = Context Window Overlapping
* DS = Dependency Space

== Caveats ==

* the performance of a corpus-based algorithm depends on the corpus, so the difference in performance between two corpus-based systems may be due to the different corpora, rather than the different algorithms
* the TOEFL questions include nouns, verbs, and adjectives, but some of the WordNet-based algorithms were only designed to work with nouns
* some of the algorithms may have been tuned on the TOEFL questions

Java Swing is a GUI toolkit for Java. Swing is one part of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC). Swing includes graphical user interface (GUI) widgets such as text boxes, buttons, split-panes, and tables.


Swing widgets provide more sophisticated GUI components than the earlier Abstract Window Toolkit. Since they are written in pure Java, they run the same on all platforms, unlike the AWT which is tied to the underlying platform's windowing system. Swing supports pluggable look and feel – not by using the native platform's facilities, but by roughly emulating them. This means you can get any supported look and feel on any platform. The disadvantage of lightweight components is possibly slower execution. The advantage is uniform behavior on all platforms.


History

The Internet Foundation Classes (IFC) were a graphics library for Java originally developed by Netscape Communications Corporation and first released on Dec 16, 1996.

On April 2, 1996, Sun Microsystems and Netscape Communications Corporation announced their intention to combine IFC with other technologies to form the Java Foundation Classes. In addition to the components originally provided by IFC, Swing introduced a mechanism that allowed the look and feel of every component in an application to be altered without making substantial changes to the application code. The introduction of support for a pluggable look and feel allowed Swing components to emulate the appearance of native components while still retaining the benefits of platform independence. This feature also makes it easy to have an individual application's appearance look very different from other native programs.


Originally distributed as a separately downloadable library, Swing has been included as part of the Java Standard Edition since release 1.2. The Swing classes are contained in the javax.swing package hierarchy.


Example

The following is a Hello World program using Swing.

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public final class HelloWorld extends JFrame {
private HelloWorld() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
getContentPane().add(new JLabel("Hello, World!"));
pack();
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
new HelloWorld().setVisible(true);

A. getConnection() method in DriverManager class.Which is used to get object of Connection interface.

What is a Connection?A. Connection is an interface, which is used to make a connection between client and Database (ie opening a session with a particular database).

What is the difference between execute() ,executeUpdate() and executeQuery() ? where we will use them?
Ans:
execute() method returns a boolean value (ie if the given query  returns a resutset then it returns true else false), so depending upon  the return value we can get the ResultSet object (getResultset()) or  we can know how many rows have bean affected by our query (getUpdateCount()).That is we can use this method for Fetching queries and Non-Fetching queries.
Fetching queries are the queries which are used to fetch the records from database (ie which returns resutset)   ex: Select * from emp.

Non-Fetching queries are the queries which are used to update,insert,create or delete the records from database    ex: update emp set sal=10000 where empno=7809.
executeUpdate() method is used for nonfetching queries.which returns int value.
executeQuery() method is used for fetching queries which returns ResulSet object ,Which contains methods to fetch the values.

How is jndi useful for Database connection?
Ans: Server identified the object with JDNI name
JNDI (java naming directory interface)

What are the uses of jndi?
Ans: The role of the JNDI API in the J2EE platform is two fold.
a) It provides the means to perform standard operations to a directory service resource such as LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol),Novell Directory Services, or Netscape Directory Services.
  b) A J2EE application utilizes JNDI to look up interfaces used to create, amongst other things, EJBs, and JDBC connection.

How vendor Naming registry supports JNDI?


What is the difference between JDBC and ODBC?
Ans:  a) OBDC is for Microsoft and JDBC is for Java applications.
b)   ODBC can't be directly used with Java because it uses a C interface.
c)   ODBC  makes use of pointers which have been removed totally from Java.
d)   ODBC mixes simple and advanced features together and has complex options for simple queries. But JDBC is designed to keep things simple while allowing advanced capabilities when required.
e)   ODBC requires manual installation of the ODBC driver manager and driver on all client machines. JDBC drivers are written in Java and JDBC code is automatically installable, secure, and portable on all platforms.
