What is the key difference in the way servlets and JSPs are compiled?

  • Both servlets and JSPs are compiled just-in-time (JIT)
  • Both servlets and JSPs are interpreted
  • JSPs are precompiled
  • Servlets are precompiled
Servlets are precompiled into bytecode during the build process, while JSPs are typically compiled into servlets at runtime. This compilation difference contributes to the performance variations between servlets and JSPs.

If a servlet generates dynamic content and you want to ensure it's not cached, which combination of response headers should be set?

  • Cache-Control: no-store, Pragma: no-cache
  • ETag, Cache-Control: no-cache
  • Expires: 0, Cache-Control: must-revalidate
  • Last-Modified, Cache-Control: private
To ensure dynamic content is not cached, the combination of Cache-Control: no-store and Pragma: no-cache headers should be set in the HttpServletResponse.

Which allows embedding Java code directly into the HTML code?

  • Applet
  • JSP
  • JavaBean
  • Servlet
JavaServer Pages (JSP) allows the embedding of Java code directly into HTML code, facilitating the creation of dynamic web pages with server-side logic.

In the lifecycle of JSP, after the translation phase, it undergoes the ______ process.

  • compilation
  • destruction
  • execution
  • initialization
After the translation phase, JSP undergoes the execution process, where the generated servlet is executed to produce dynamic content.

JSP is a technology on the server side to make ______ easier.

  • Client-side scripting
  • Java programming
  • Server-side scripting
  • Web development
JSP (JavaServer Pages) is a technology on the server side to make server-side scripting easier. It allows the embedding of Java code in HTML pages for dynamic content generation.

Which method of the HttpServlet class is used to handle HTTP GET requests?

  • doGet()
  • doPost()
  • init()
  • service()
The doGet() method of the HttpServlet class is specifically designed to handle HTTP GET requests.

How should a servlet handle session tracking when a user's privacy settings restrict cookie usage?

  • Database Session
  • HTTP Session
  • Hidden Form Fields
  • URL Rewriting
When a user's privacy settings restrict cookie usage, session tracking can be handled using Hidden Form Fields. This involves including session information in HTML forms.

The servlet is removed from service by the servlet container via the __________ method.

  • destroy()
  • doDelete()
  • init()
  • service()
The destroy() method is called when the servlet is being removed from service by the servlet container. It allows the servlet to release resources before it's taken out of operation.

What is the default behavior of the service() method in the HttpServlet class?

  • Forwarding the request to the init() method.
  • Invoking the doGet() method.
  • Invoking the doPost() method.
  • Providing an HTTP 405 (Method Not Allowed) error.
The default behavior of the service() method in the HttpServlet class is to provide an HTTP 405 error (Method Not Allowed) response, indicating that the requested HTTP method is not supported.

What considerations should be made when handling large form data submissions in a servlet?

  • Ensure the servlet has a large buffer size.
  • Increase the maximum allowed request size.
  • Use GET requests instead of POST requests.
  • Use compression to reduce data size.
When handling large form data submissions in a servlet, considerations include increasing the maximum allowed request size, optimizing buffer sizes, and using compression to reduce data size.
