JSP Lifecycle

JSP Lifecycle



The lifecycle of a JSP is the entire process from its creation till the destruction which is similar to a servlet life cycle with an additional step, which translates the JSP into a Servlet.
Following are the JSP Lifecycle phases.
1.     Translation of JSP to Servlet code.
2.     Compilation of Servlet to bytecode.
3.     Loading Servlet class.
4.     Creating servlet instance.
5.     Initialization by calling jspInit() method
6.     Request Processing by calling _jspService() method

7.     Destroying by calling jspDestroy() method

JSP Translation and Compilation
When a user request for a JSP, the JSP engine first checks to see whether it needs to compile the page. If the page has never been compiled, or if the JSP has been modified since it was last compiled, the JSP engine does the following
1.   Parse the JSP
2.   Transforms the JSP to a Servlet
3.   Compile the Servlet (.java) file to a class file.


JSP Initialization
Before servicing any request the web container loads the JSP and invokes jspInit() method. Initialization is performed only once, just as with servlets init() method. If you need to perform any JSP-specific initialization, you need yo override the jspInit() method.

JSP Service
Once the JSP page has been loaded and initialized, the JSP engine invokes the _jspService() method in the JSP.
The _jspService() method takes an HttpServletRequest and an HttpServletResponse as its parameters.
The _jspService() method of a JSP is invoked once per request and is responsible for generating the response for that request.

JSP Destruction
The destruction phase of the JSP life cycle represents when a JSP is being removed from use by a container.
The jspDestroy() method is the JSP similar to the destroy method for servlets. We need to Override jspDestroy() method when we need to perform any cleanup operation, such as releasing database connections or closing files which were opened

Mockito interview Questions

1.       Question 1. What Is Mockito? Answer : Mockito allows creation of mock object for the purpose of Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven development. Unlike creating actual object, Mockito allows creation of fake object (external dependencies) which allows it to give consistent results to a given invocation. 2.       Question 2. Why Do We Need Mockito? What Are The Advantages? Answer : Mockito differentiates itself from the other testing framework by removing the expectation beforehand. So, by doing this, it reduces the coupling. Most of the testing framework works on the "expect-run-verify". Mockito allows it to make it "run-verify" framework. Mockito also provides annotation which allows to reduce the boilerplate code. 3.       Question 3. Can You Explain A Mockito Framework? Answer : In Mockito, you always check a particular class. The dependency in that class is injected using m...

REST Methods

GET ============================================= HTTP GET method is used to **read** (or retrieve) a representation of a resource. According to the design of the HTTP specification, GET requests are used only to read data and not change it. Therefore, when used this way, they are considered safe. That is, they can be called without risk of data modification or corruption. Means calling it once has the same effect as calling it 10 times. Additionally, GET is idempotent which means that making multiple identical requests ends up having the same result as a single request. Donot expose unsafe operations via GET. It should never modify any resources on the server. Example: ------------    GET http://www.example.com/customers/12345/orders POST =================================== -> The POST verb is most-often utilized to **create** new resources. In particular, it's used to create subordinate resources. -> That is, subordinate to some other (e.g. parent) reso...
