JAVA
Introduction
Java programming language was originally developed by Sun Microsystems which was initiated by James
Gosling and released in 1995 as core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform (Java 1.0 [J2SE]).
Java is guaranteed to be Write Once, Run Anywhere.
Java is:
•Object Oriented: In Java, everything is an Object. Java can be easily extended since it is based on
the Object model.
•Platform independent: Unlike many other programming languages including C and C++, when Java
is compiled, it is not compiled into platform specific machine, rather into platform independent
byte code. This byte code is distributed over the web and interpreted by virtual Machine (JVM) on
whichever platform it is being run.
•Simple: Java is designed to be easy to learn. If you understand the basic concept of OOP Java would
be easy to master.
•Secure: With Java's secure feature it enables to develop virus-free, tamper-free systems.
Authentication techniques are based on public-key encryption.
•Architectural-neutral: Java compiler generates an architecture-neutral object file format which
makes the compiled code to be executable on many processors, with the presence of Java runtime
system.
•Portable: Being architectural-neutral and having no implementation dependent aspects of the
specification makes Java portable. Compiler in Java is written in ANSI C with a clean portability
boundary which is a POSIX subset.
•Robust: Java makes an effort to eliminate error prone situations by emphasizing mainly on compile
time error checking and runtime checking.
•Multithreaded: With Java's multithreaded feature it is possible to write programs that can do many
tasks simultaneously. This design feature allows developers to construct smoothly running
interactive applications.
•Interpreted: Java byte code is translated on the fly to native machine instructions and is not stored
anywhere. The development process is more rapid and analytical since the linking is an incremental
and light weight process.
•High Performance: With the use of Just-In-Time compilers, Java enables high performance.
•Distributed: Java is designed for the distributed environment of the internet.
•Dynamic: Java is considered to be more dynamic than C or C++ since it is designed to adapt to an
evolving environment. Java programs can carry extensive amount of run-time information that can
be used to verify and resolve accesses to objects on run-time.

Creating a simple Java Program
Hello World example:
class HelloWorld {
public static void main (String args[]) {
System.out.println("Hello World! ");
}
}
This program has two main parts:
•All the program is enclosed in a class definition—here, a class called Hello World.
•The body of the program (here, just the one line) is contained in a method (function) called
main(). In Java applications, as in a C or C++ program, main() is the first method (function)
that is run when the program is executed.
Compiling the above program :
•In Sun's JDK, the Java compiler is called javac.
javac HelloWorld.java
•When the program compiles without errors, a file called HelloWorld.class is created, in the same
directory as the source file. This is the Java bytecode file.
•Then run that bytecode file using the Java interpreter. In the JDK, the Java interpreter is called
simply java.
java HelloWorld
If the program was typed and compiled correctly, the output will be:
"Hello World!"

JAVA APPLET
Applet is a special type of program that is embedded in the webpage to generate the dynamic content. It
runs inside the browser and works at client side.
Features of Applets
•An applet is a Java class that extends the java.applet.Applet class.
•A main() method is not invoked on an applet, and an applet class will not define main().
•Applets are designed to be embedded within an HTML page.
•When a user views an HTML page that contains an applet, the code for the applet is downloaded
to the user's machine.
•A JVM is required to view an applet.
•The JVM on the user's machine creates an instance of the applet class and invokes various methods
during the applet's lifetime.
The Applet (java.applet.Applet) class
Every applet is an extension of the java.applet.Applet class. The base Applet class provides methods that
a derived Applet class may call to obtain information and services from the browser context.
The Applet class provides an interface by which the viewer or browser obtains information about the
applet and controls the applet's execution. The viewer may:
•request information about the author, version and copyright of the applet
•request a description of the parameters the applet recognizes
•initialize the applet
•destroy the applet
•start the applet's execution
•stop the applet's execution
The Applet class provides default implementations of each of these methods. Those implementations may
be overridden as necessary.
Life Cycle of an Applet
For creating any applet java.applet.Applet class must be inherited. It provides 4 life cycle methods of
applet.
•public void init(): This method is used to initialize the applet. It is invoked only once.
•public void start(): This method is automatically called after the browser calls the init() method. It
is also called whenever the user returns to the page containing the applet after having gone off to
other pages. It is used to start the applet.
•public void stop(): This method is used to stop the applet. It is automatically invoked when the
applet is stopped or the browser is minimised.
•public void destroy(): This method is used to destroy the applet. It is invoked only once.
Java & J2EE Lab
Dept. of C.S.E, Dr.A.I.T Page 17
The java.awt.Component class provides 1 life cycle method of applet.
•public void paint(Graphics g): Invoked immediately after the start() method, and also any time the
applet needs to repaint itself in the browser. The paint() method is actually inherited from the
java.awt class.
A "Hello, World" Applet
The following is a simple applet named HelloWorldApplet.java:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class HelloWorldApplet extends Applet
{
public void paint (Graphics g)
{
g.drawString ("Hello World", 25, 50);
}
}
Getting Applet parameters
The Applet.getParameter() method fetches a parameter from the applet tag given the parameter's name
(the value of a parameter is always a string). If the value is numeric or other non-character data, the string
must be parsed.

EVENT HANDLING
The Delegation Event Model
The modern approach to handling events is based on the delegation event model, which defines standard
and consistent mechanisms to generate and process events. Its concept is quite simple: a source generates
an event and sends it to one or more listeners. In this scheme, the listener simply waits until it receives an
event. Once an event is received, the listener processes the event and then returns. The advantage of this
design is that the application logic that processes events is cleanly separated from the user interface logic
that generates those events. A user interface element is able to “delegate” the processing of an event to
a separate piece of code.
In the delegation event model, listeners must register with a source in order to receive an event
notification. This provides an important benefit: notifications are sent only to listeners that want to receive
them.
Events
In the delegation model, an event is an object that describes a state change in a source. It can be generated
as a consequence of a person interacting with the elements in a graphical user interface. Some of the
activities that cause events to be generated are pressing a button, entering a character via the keyboard,
selecting an item in a list, and clicking the mouse.
Event Sources
A source is an object that generates an event. This occurs when the internal state of that object changes
in some way. Sources may generate more than one type of event. A source must register listeners in order
for the listeners to receive notifications about a specific type of event. Each type of event has its own
registration method.
The general form is shown below:
public void addTypeListener(TypeListener el)
Here, Type is the name of the event, and el is a reference to the event listener. For example, the method
that registers a keyboard event listener is called addKeyListener( ). The method that registers a mouse
motion listener is called addMouseMotionListener( ). When an event occurs, all registered listeners are
notified and receive a copy of the event object. This is known as multicasting the event. In all cases,
notifications are sent only to listeners that register to receive them.
Event Listener Interface
The delegation event model has two parts: sources and listeners. Listeners are created by implementing
one or more of the interfaces defined by the java.awt.event package. When an event occurs, the event
source invokes the appropriate method defined by the listener and provides an event object as its
argument.
The KeyListener Interface
This interface defines three methods. The keyPressed( ) and keyReleased( ) methods are invoked when a
key is pressed and released, respectively. The keyTyped( ) method is invoked when a character has been
entered.
The general forms of these methods are shown here:
void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke)
void keyReleased(KeyEvent ke)
void keyTyped(KeyEvent ke)
Java & J2EE Lab
Dept. of C.S.E, Dr.A.I.T Page 19
The MouseListener Interface
This interface defines five methods. If the mouse is pressed and released at the same point,
mouseClicked() is invoked. When the mouse enters a component, the mouseEntered( ) method is called.
When it leaves, mouseExited( ) is called. The mousePressed( ) and mouseReleased( ) methods are invoked
when the mouse is pressed and released, respectively.
The general forms of these methods are shown here:
void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me)
void mouseEntered(MouseEvent me)
void mouseExited(MouseEvent me)
void mousePressed(MouseEvent me)
void mouseReleased(MouseEvent me)
The MouseMotionListener Interface
This interface defines two methods. The mouseDragged( ) method is called multiple times as the mouse
is dragged. The mouseMoved( ) method is called multiple times as the mouse is moved.
Their general forms are shown here:
void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me)
void mouseMoved(MouseEvent me)

JAVA SWING
Swing API is set of extensible GUI Components to ease developer's life to create JAVA based Front End/
GUI Applications. It is built upon top of AWT API and acts as replacement of AWT API as it has almost every
control corresponding to AWT controls. It is a part of Java Foundation Classes (JFC) that is used to create
window-based applications
MVC Architecture
Swing API architecture follows loosely based MVC architecture in the following manner.
•A Model represents component's data.
•View represents visual representation of the component's data.
•Controller takes the input from the user on the view and reflects the changes in Component's data.
•Swing component have Model as a separate element and View and Controller part are clubbed in
User Interface elements. Using this way, Swing has pluggable look-and-feel architecture.
Swing features
•Light Weight - Swing component are independent of native Operating System's API as Swing API
controls are rendered mostly using pure JAVA code instead of underlying operating system calls.
•Rich controls - Swing provides a rich set of advanced controls like Tree, TabbedPane, slider,
colorpicker, table controls
•Highly Customizable - Swing controls can be customized in very easy way as visual appearance is
independent of internal representation.
•Pluggable look-and-feel- SWING based GUI Application look and feel can be changed at run time
based on available values.
Every user interface considers the following three main aspects:
•UI elements: These are the core visual elements the user eventually sees and interacts with.
Layouts: They define how UI elements should be organized on the screen and provide a final look
and feel to the GUI (Graphical User Interface). This part will be covered in Layout chapter.
•Behaviour: These are events which occur when the user interacts with UI elements.
Every SWING controls inherits properties from following Component class hierarchy.
•Component: A Container is the abstract base class for the non-menu user-interface controls of
SWING. Component represents an object with graphical representation.
•Container: A Container is a component that can contain other SWING components.
•JComponent: A JComponent is a base class for all swing UI components. In order to use a swing
component that inherits from JComponent, component must be in a containment hierarchy whose
root is a top-level Swing container.

SOCKET PROGRAMMING
Sockets provide the communication mechanism between two computers using TCP. A client program
creates a socket on its end of the communication and attempts to connect that socket to a server.
When the connection is made, the server creates a socket object on its end of the communication. The
client and server can now communicate by writing to and reading from the socket.
The java.net.Socket class represents a socket, and the java.net.ServerSocket class provides a mechanism
for the server program to listen for clients and establish connections with them.
The following steps occur when establishing a TCP connection between two computers using sockets:
•The server instantiates a ServerSocket object, denoting which port number communication is to
occur on.
•The server invokes the accept() method of the ServerSocket class. This method waits until a client
connects to the server on the given port.
•After the server is waiting, a client instantiates a Socket object, specifying the server name and port
number to connect to.
•The constructor of the Socket class attempts to connect the client to the specified server and port
number. If communication is established, the client now has a Socket object capable of
communicating with the server.
•On the server side, the accept() method returns a reference to a new socket on the server that is
connected to the client's socket.
After the connections are established, communication can occur using I/O streams. Each socket has both
an OutputStream and an InputStream. The client's OutputStream is connected to the server's
InputStream, and the client's InputStream is connected to the server's OutputStream.
TCP is a two-way communication protocol, so data can be sent across both streams at the same time.
There are following useful classes providing complete set of methods to implement sockets.
ServerSocket Class Methods:
The java.net.ServerSocket class is used by server applications to obtain a port and listen for client requests
One of the four ServerSocket constructors are shown below:
public ServerSocket(int port) throws IOException
Attempts to create a server socket bound to the specified port. An exception occurs if the port is already
bound by another application.
If the ServerSocket constructor does not throw an exception, it means that your application has
successfully bound to the specified port and is ready for client requests.
Here are some of the common methods of the ServerSocket class:
Java & J2EE Lab
Dept. of C.S.E, Dr.A.I.T Page 29
Sl.No Methods with Description
1 public int getLocalPort()
Returns the port that the server socket is listening on. This method is useful if you passed in 0 as the port
number in a constructor and let the server find a port for you.
2 public Socket accept() throws IOException
Waits for an incoming client. This method blocks until either a client connects to the server on the
specified port or the socket times out, assuming that the time-out value has been set using the
setSoTimeout() method. Otherwise, this method blocks indefinitely
3 public void setSoTimeout(int timeout)
Sets the time-out value for how long the server socket waits for a client during the accept().
4 public void bind(SocketAddress host, int backlog)
Binds the socket to the specified server and port in the SocketAddress object. Use this method if you
instantiated the ServerSocket using the no-argument constructor.
When the ServerSocket invokes accept(), the method does not return until a client connects. After a client
does connect, the ServerSocket creates a new Socket on an unspecified port and returns a reference to
this new Socket. A TCP connection now exists between the client and server, and communication can
begin.
Socket Class Methods:
The java.net.Socket class represents the socket that both the client and server use to communicate with
each other. The client obtains a Socket object by instantiating one, whereas the server obtains a Socket
object from the return value of the accept() method.
The Socket class has five constructors that a client uses to connect to a server. One of them is shown
below:
public Socket(String host, int port) throws UnknownHostException, IOException.
This method attempts to connect to the specified server at the specified port. If this constructor does not
throw an exception, the connection is successful and the client is connected to the server.
When the Socket constructor returns, it does not simply instantiate a Socket object but it actually attempts
to connect to the specified server and port.
Some methods of interest in the Socket class are listed here. Notice that both the client and server have a
Socket object, so these methods can be invoked by both the client and server.
Sl.No. Methods with Description
1 public int getPort()
Returns the port the socket is bound to on the remote machine.
2 public SocketAddress getRemoteSocketAddress()
Returns the address of the remote socket.
3 public InputStream getInputStream() throws IOException
Returns the input stream of the socket. The input stream is connected to the output stream of the remote
socket.
4 public OutputStream getOutputStream() throws IOException
Returns the output stream of the socket. The output stream is connected to the input stream of the
remote socket
5 public void close() throws IOException
Closes the socket, which makes this Socket object no longer capable of connecting again to any server

REMOTE METHOD INVOCATION (RMI)
The RMI (Remote Method Invocation) is an API that provides a mechanism to create distributed
application in java. The RMI allows an object to invoke methods on an object running in another JVM.
The RMI provides remote communication between the applications using two objects stub and skeleton.
Understanding stub and skeleton
RMI uses stub and skeleton object for communication with the remote object.
A remote object is an object whose method can be invoked from another JVM.
stub
The stub is an object, acts as a gateway for the client side. All the outgoing requests are routed through it.
It resides at the client side and represents the remote object. When the caller invokes method on the stub
object, it does the following tasks:
1. It initiates a connection with remote Virtual Machine (JVM),
2. It writes and transmits (marshals) the parameters to the remote Virtual Machine (JVM),
3. It waits for the result
4. It reads the return value or exception, and
5. It finally, returns the value to the caller.
skeleton
The skeleton is an object, acts as a gateway for the server side object. All the incoming requests are routed
through it. When the skeleton receives the incoming request, it does the following tasks:
1. It reads the parameter for the remote method
2. It invokes the method on the actual remote object, and
3. It writes and transmits (marshals) the result to the caller.
Steps to write the RMI program
1. Create the remote interface
2. Provide the implementation of the remote interface
3. Compile the implementation class and create the stub and skeleton objects using the rmic tool
4. Start the registry service by rmiregistry tool
5. Create and start the remote application
6. Create and start the client application

SERVLET PROGRAMMING
Servlet technology is used to create web application (resides at server side and generates dynamic web
page).
They are modules of Java code that run in a server application.
The advantages of using Servlets over traditional CGI programs are:
1. Better performance: because it creates a thread for each request not process.
2. Portability: because it uses java language.
3. Robust: Servlets are managed by JVM so no need to worry about momory leak, garbage collection
etc.
4. Secure: because it uses java language.
Life cycle of a servlet
The life cycle of a servlet is controlled by the container in which the servlet has been deployed.
When a request is mapped to a servlet, the container performs the following steps:
1. If an instance of the servlet does not exist, the web container:
a. Loads the servlet class
b. Creates an instance of the servlet class
c. Initializes the servlet instance by calling the init method. Initialization is covered in
Initializing a Servlet
2. Invokes the service method, passing a request and response object.
3. If the container needs to remove the servlet, it finalizes the servlet by calling the servlet’s destroy
method.
Servlet API
•The javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http packages represent interfaces and classes for servlet api.
•The javax.servlet package contains many interfaces and classes that are used by the servlet or web
container. These are not specific to any protocol.
•The javax.servlet.http package contains interfaces and classes that are responsible for http requests
only
javax.servlet package
•The javax.servlet package contains a number of classes and interfaces that describe and define the
contracts between a servlet class and the runtime environment provided for an instance of such a
class by a conforming servlet container.
•The Servlet interface is the central abstraction of the servlet API.
•All servlets implement this interface either directly, or more commonly, by extending a class that
implements the interface.
•The two classes in the servlet API that implement the Servlet interface are GeneriISErvlet and
HttpServlet .
•For most purposes, developers will extend HttpServlet to implement their servlets while implementing
web applications employing the HTTP protocol.
•The basic Servlet interface defines a service method for handling client requests. This method is called
for each request that the servlet container routes to an instance of a servlet.

JavaServer Pages (JSP)
JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a server-side programming technology that enables the creation of dynamic,
platform-independent method for building Web-based applications by making use of special JSP tags, most
of which start with <% and end with %>.
A JavaServer Pages component is a type of Java servlet that is designed to fulfill the role of a user interface
for a Java web application. Web developers write JSPs as text files that combine HTML or XHTML code,
XML elements, and embedded JSP actions and commands.
Using JSP, you can collect input from users through web page forms, present records from a database or
another source, and create web pages dynamically.
JSP tags can be used for a variety of purposes, such as retrieving information from a database or registering
user preferences, accessing JavaBeans components, passing control between pages and sharing
information between requests, pages etc.
Advantages of using JSP
JavaServer Pages often serve the same purpose as programs implemented using the Common Gateway
Interface (CGI). But JSP offer several advantages in comparison with the CGI.
•Performance is significantly better because JSP allows embedding Dynamic Elements in HTML
Pages itself instead of having a separate CGI files.
•JSP are always compiled before it's processed by the server unlike CGI/Perl which requires the
server to load an interpreter and the target script each time the page is requested.
•JavaServer Pages are built on top of the Java Servlets API, so like Servlets, JSP also has access to all
the powerful Enterprise Java APIs, including JDBC, JNDI, EJB, JAXP etc.
•JSP pages can be used in combination with servlets that handle the business logic, the model
supported by Java servlet template engines.
Finally, JSP is an integral part of Java EE, a complete platform for enterprise class applications. This means
that JSP can play a part in the simplest applications to the most complex and demanding.
The general syntax and tags used for JSP development is shown below:
The Scriptlet:
A scriptlet can contain any number of JAVA language statements, variable or method declarations, or
expressions that are valid in the page scripting language.
Following is the syntax of Scriptlet:
<%
code fragment
%>
JSP Declarations:
A declaration declares one or more variables or methods that you can use in Java code later in the JSP file.
You must declare the variable or method before you use it in the JSP file.
Following is the syntax of JSP Declarations:
<%! declaration; [ declaration; ]+ ... %>

Following is the simple example for JSP Declarations:
<%! int i = 0; %>
<%! int a, b, c; %>
JSP Expression:
A JSP expression element contains a scripting language expression that is evaluated, converted to a String,
and inserted where the expression appears in the JSP file.
Because the value of an expression is converted to a String, you can use an expression within a line of text,
whether or not it is tagged with HTML, in a JSP file.
The expression element can contain any expression that is valid according to the Java Language
Specification but you cannot use a semicolon to end an expression.
Following is the syntax of JSP Expression:
<%= expression %>
Following is the simple example for JSP Expression:
<html>
<head><title>A Comment Test</title></head>
<body>
<p>
Today's date: <%= (new java.util.Date()).toLocaleString()%>
</p>
</body>
</html>
This would generate following result:
Today's date: 11-Sep-2010 21:24:25
JSP Comments:
JSP comment marks text or statements that the JSP container should ignore. A JSP comment is useful when
you want to hide or "comment out" part of your JSP page.
Following is the syntax of JSP comments:
<%-- This is JSP comment --%>

JSP - JavaBeans
A JavaBean is a specially constructed Java class written in the Java and coded according to the JavaBeans
API specifications.
Following are the unique characteristics that distinguish a JavaBean from other Java classes:
•It provides a default, no-argument constructor.
•It should be serializable and implement the Serializable interface.
•It may have a number of properties which can be read or written.
•It may have a number of "getter" and "setter" methods for the properties.
JavaBeans Properties:
A JavaBean property is a named attribute that can be accessed by the user of the object. The attribute can
be of any Java data type, including classes that you define.
A JavaBean property may be read, write, read only, or write only. JavaBean properties are accessed
through two methods in the JavaBean's implementation class:
Method Description
getPropertyName() For example, if property name is firstName, your method name would
be getFirstName() to read that property. This method is called accessor.
setPropertyName() For example, if property name is firstName, your method name would
be setFirstName() to write that property. This method is called mutator.
A read-only attribute will have only a getPropertyName() method, and a write-only attribute will have
only a setPropertyName() method.
Accessing JavaBeans:
The useBean action declares a JavaBean for use in a JSP. Once declared, the bean becomes a scripting
variable that can be accessed by both scripting elements and other custom tags used in the JSP. The full
syntax for the useBean tag is as follows:
<jsp:useBean id="bean's name" scope="bean's scope" typeSpec/>
Here values for the scope attribute could be page, request, session or application based on your
requirement. The value of the id attribute may be any value as a long as it is a unique name among other
useBean declarations in the same JSP.
Accessing JavaBeans Properties:
Along with <jsp:useBean...>, you can use <jsp:getProperty/> action to access get methods and
<jsp:setProperty/> action to access set methods. Here is the full syntax:
<jsp:useBean id="id" class="bean's class" scope="bean's scope">
<jsp:setProperty name="bean's id" property="property name"
value="value"/>
<jsp:getProperty name="bean's id" property="property name"/>
...........
</jsp:useBean>
The name attribute references the id of a JavaBean previously introduced to the JSP by the useBean action.
The property attribute is the name of the get or set methods that should be invoked.
