An enterprise bean that is created by a client and that usually exists only for the duration of a single client-server session.

186. What is life cycle (J2EE component)

The framework events of a J2EE component's existence. Each type of component has defining events that mark its transition into states in which it has varying availability for use. For example, a servlet is created and has its init method called by its container before invocation of its service method by clients or other servlets that require its functionality. After the call of its init method, ithas the data and readiness for its intended use. The servlet's destroy method is called by its container before the ending of its existence so that processing associated with winding up can be done and resource scan be released. The init and destroy methods in this example are callback methods. Similar considerations apply to the life cycle of all J2EE component types: enterprise beans, Web components (servlets or JSP pages), applets, and application clients.

119. What is J2EE component

A self-contained functional software unit supported bya container and configurable at deployment time. TheJ2EE specification defines the following J2EEcomponents: Application clients and applets are components that run on the client. Java servlet and Java Server Pages (JSP) technology components are Web components that run on the server. Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) components (enterprise beans) are business components that run on the server. J2EEcomponents are written in the Java programming language and are compiled in the same way as any program in the language. The difference between J2EEcomponents and "standard" Java classes is that J2EEcomponents are assembled into a J2EE application, verified to be well formed and in compliance with theJ2EE specification, and deployed to production, where they are run and managed by the J2EE server or client container.

An object that can transform the header or content (or both) of a request or response. Filters differ from Web components in that they usually do not themselves create responses but rather modify or adapt the requests for a resource, and modify or adapt responses from a resource. A filter should not have any dependencies on a Web resource for which it is acting as a filter so that it can be composable with more than one type of Web resource.

J2ee question N answers

93. What is entity reference

A reference to an entity that is substituted for the reference when the XML document is parsed. It can reference a predefined entity such as < or reference one that is defined in the DTD. In the XML data, the reference could be to an entity that is defined in the local subset of the DTD or to an external XML file (an external entity). The DTD can also carve out a segment of DTD specifications and give it a name so that it can be reused (included) at multiple points in the DTD by defining a parameter entity.

82. What is EJB server

Software that provides services to an EJB container. For example, an EJB container typically relies on a transaction manager that is part of the EJB server toper form the two-phase commit across all the participating resource managers. The J2EE architecture assumes that an EJB container is hosted by an EJBserver from the same vendor, so it does not specify the contract between these two entities. An EJB server
can host one or more EJB containers.

70. What is DTD

Document type definition. An optional part of the XML document prolog, as specified by the XML standard. The DTD specifies constraints on the valid tags and tag sequences that can be in the document. The DTD has a number of shortcomings, however, and this has led to various schema proposals. For example, the DTD entry
says that the XML element called username contains parsed character data-that is, text alone, with no other structural elements under it. The DTD includes both the local subset, defined in the current file, and the external subset, which consists of the definitions contained in external DTD files that are referenced in the local subset using a parameter entity.
