In Java EE, the _________ method is used to send a message to the connected WebSocket client.

  • broadcastMessage()
  • sendMessage()
  • sendText()
  • writeMessage()
In Java EE, the sendMessage() method is used to send a message to the connected WebSocket client.

The annotation _________ is used to configure the endpoint of a WebSocket server.

  • @EndpointConfig
  • @ServerEndpoint
  • @WebSocketConfig
  • @WebSocketEndpoint
The annotation @ServerEndpoint is used to configure the endpoint of a WebSocket server.

A servlet receives a POST request with JSON data. What are the steps to correctly parse and use this data?

  • Use the doGet() method and manually parse the JSON data using a JSON library.
  • Use the doGet() method and rely on the servlet container to automatically parse the JSON data.
  • Use the doPost() method and manually parse the JSON data using a JSON library.
  • Use the doPost() method and rely on the servlet container to automatically parse the JSON data.
When handling a POST request with JSON data, it is appropriate to use the doPost() method, and manual parsing is often necessary using a JSON library. The servlet container does not automatically parse JSON data.

The _________ interface in Java EE allows the server to react to WebSocket lifecycle events.

  • Decoder
  • Encoder
  • Endpoint
  • Session
The Endpoint interface in Java EE allows the server to react to WebSocket lifecycle events.

To handle binary data in a WebSocket, the _________ method is typically implemented.

  • onBinaryMessage
  • onClose
  • onError
  • onTextMessage
To handle binary data in a WebSocket, the onBinaryMessage method is typically implemented.

In a chat application using WebSockets, when a message is sent to a closed connection, what happens and how should it be handled?

  • An error is thrown on the server-side.
  • The WebSocket connection remains open for future messages.
  • The client receives an error, and the server is notified.
  • The message is silently discarded.
When a message is sent to a closed connection, the client should receive an error, and the server needs to be notified for proper handling and logging.

Consider a scenario where a servlet application needs to update client-side widgets in real-time. Which technology would be more efficient: AJAX polling or WebSockets?

  • AJAX polling
  • Both are equally efficient.
  • It depends on the specific use case requirements.
  • WebSockets
WebSockets would be more efficient in real-time updates as they allow for bidirectional communication and eliminate the need for continuous polling, reducing latency and server load.

What happens if the init() method of a Servlet throws an exception?

  • Servlet becomes inactive
  • Servlet continues to initialize
  • Servlet fails to initialize
  • Servlet restarts
If the init() method of a Servlet throws an exception, the servlet fails to initialize, and the servlet container may mark the servlet as unavailable.

A high-frequency trading application needs to send and receive financial data with minimal latency. What WebSocket features make it suitable for this application?

  • Caching and client-side data storage
  • Long polling and server-sent events
  • Multiplexing and low latency
  • Request-response pattern and reliable message delivery
WebSockets, with features like multiplexing and low latency, are suitable for high-frequency trading applications, as they enable efficient, bidirectional communication with minimal delay in data transmission.

What is a common practice to reduce the load on a servlet?

  • Caching
  • Database Connection Pooling
  • Lazy Loading
  • Multithreading
Database Connection Pooling is a common practice to reduce the load on a servlet by efficiently managing and reusing database connections, improving performance.
