(Answers)
1)C

IterationTag.EVAL_BODY_AGAIN in the doAfterBody() method.
2)B,C,D
jsp:bean declares the use of a JavaBean instance in a JSP page.
jsp:plugin instructs the JSP engine to generate appropriate HTML code for embedding
applets on a web page.
Custom tags (taglibs) allow user-defined actions to be created.
Answer A is incorrect because the action JSP tag provides request-time instructions to
the JSP engine.
Standard action types : jsp:include, jsp:forward, jsp:useBean, jsp:setProperty,
jsp:getProperty, jsp:plugin
3)B,D
You can use either forward(...) or include(...) method to pass the request to another
servlet to handle. While for forward(...), the control is passing to target servlet, for
include(...), the control is still with the current servlet.
4)C,E
You need to override the service() method when you extends GenericServlet.
You need to call super.init(config) if you override this method.
5)B
A Data Access Object pattern is used to encapsulate database access functions. By
putting database-specific SQL code into a separate layer as DAO layer, it is easy to
modify it without affecting business logic layer, thus increase code manageability.
6)A,B
7)C,E
8)D
9)Client-Cert
The correct answer is CLIENT-CERT which stands for client certificate. It requires the
client to provide a digital certificate containing information about the issuer, signature,
serial number, key type, etc

The Function class must have a method with signature: public static String
transformString(String arg);
A is incorrect. The method name must be the same as given in <function-signature>
element.
B is incorrect. Method name is correct but it should also be static.

16)A,B,C
17)D
This is a scriptlet and they always go inside the service method. ie. they are local to the
request. A is incorrect. You can put JSP code anywhere
18) D
Following is the mapping of Listeners and their corresponding events.
HttpSessionListener : HttpSessionEvent
HttpSessionAttributeListener : HttpSessionBindingEvent
HttpSessionBindingListener : HttpSessionBindingEvent
Observe that both - HttpSessionAttributeListener and HttpSessionBindingListener, use
HttpSessionBindingEvent.
19) B
C is incorrect It'll give an exception saying value is not initialized!
20) B,C,D
B is correct Unlike HTTP, HTTPS uses SSL which is a stateful protocol.
C is correct Remember that this is a non-standard and obsolete way.
This can only be done in an application specific way and requires that the page has a
form.
21)B,E
A is incorrect. It does not have an ending semicolon
C is incorrect. ! is used for declarations
D is incorrect. @ is used for directives

actual role names defined in the servlet container.
22)C
The statement "...should provide XML and HTML interfaces..." means the same data is
represented in different ways, therefore this is MVC.
23) A,B,F

D is incorret include directive is valid for regular JSP file also
E is incorrect No such directive
24)A,B,E
C is incorrect This is done in HTTP Digest authentication mechanism
25)A
A is correct. A view (ie. the presentation of data) knows how to present the data and so
can be replaced with another view without any impact on the data representation.
B is incorrect. This allows plug and play between back end logic and the front end.
D is incorrect. This allows plug and play between the data container (the DB) and data
requestor.
26)B,C,D
An attribute element describes the attribute for a tag. Following is its definition.

servlet and calling getInitParameter(...) on the ServletConfig object returns the value of
that parameter.

Answers to questions on JSP
1. d. When using scriptlets (that is code included within <% %>), the included code
must have legal Java syntax. So the first statement must end with a semi-colon.
The second statement on the other hand is a JSP expression. So it must not end
with a semi colon.
2. b. JSP declarations do not have access to automatically defined variables like
request, response etc.
3. b. The XML syntax for JSP expression is <jsp:expression>Java
expression</jsp:expression>
4. e. The XML syntax for JSP scriptlets is <jsp:scriptlet>Java code</jsp:scriptlet>
5. d. The if statement, else statement and closing parenthesis are JSP scriptlets
and not JSP expressions. So these should be included within <% } %>
6. d. JSP declarations are inserted outside of _jspService method. Hence a is
incorrect. The JSP statement <%!int a;%> is equivalent to <jsp:declaration>int
x;</jsp:declaration>. Hence b is incorrect. The predefined variables that are
available within the JSP expression are session and pageContext, and not
httpSession and context. Hence c is incorrect.
7. c. After the for loop z and y are both set to 3. The else satement gets evaluated,
and 2 gets printed in the browser.
8. e. There is no such variable as httpsession.
9. jsp:getProperty takes two attributes - name and property. The name attribute
must match the id attribute of jsp:usebean.
10. e. The jsp:setProperty takes three attributes - name, property and value. Also the
jsp:setProperty must end with />.
11. c. Using * for property is legal syntax. Bean properties are associated with
identically named input parameters.
12. true. The page directive is defined as <%@page isThreadSafe="false"%>
13. b,c.
14. a. The default scope of the declared bean is page.
15. a,d. The scope and class attributes are not required. But either class or type
must be defined.
16. c,d. The following are legal attributes of page directive - import, isThreadSafe,
session, contentType, autoFlush, extends, info, errorPage, isErrorPage,
language.
17. c. <jsp:directive.include> is the XML equivalent of include directive.
18. b. As this is a a Java statement it needs to be included with <% and %>, and it
needs to end in semi-colon.
19. c. As this is a a Java expression it needs to be included with <%= and %>, and it
should not end in semi-colon.
20. d. request is an instance of HttpServletRequest
21. a. Implicit object session is of type HttpSession.
22. d. This is a legal syntax to set a property of JavaBean. The value attribute of
setProperty is optional.
23. b,c. The option a is incorrect because page directive must be included within
<%@ . d is incorrect because the value of isErrorPage attribute must be boolean.
e is incorrect because, the value true is not within quotes.
24. b. Except the import attribute of page directive, all the other attributes of page
directive cannot be specified more than once. In this example session attribute is
specified twice.
25. a. contentType attribute is used to generate XML. The syntax will look like -
<%@page contentType="text/xml"/>
26. B. The syntax will look like -
<%@page import="java.util.ArrayList"/>
27. a,c. The default value of isThreadSafe attribute is true. So a is correct. If
isThreadSafe is set to false, then JSP container processes request sequentially,
and this leads to poor performance. Hence b and d are incorrect.
28. a,f. include, taglib and page are examples of JSP directives. The JSP directives
have this syntax -
<%@directive attribute="value" %>
29. d. It is not required that the included file has jspf extension. Hence a is incorrect.
The XML syntax of include directive is <jsp:directive.include>
30. b. This pageContext object is an instance of type javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext,
and provides methods like getPage(), getRequest(), etc. to access other input
variables.
