Servlet

[Richard Rex]

I am doing a mock exam from one of the free available on the net and little bit confused with this...

Which two prevent a servlet from handling requests? Choose two.

A. The servlet's init method returns a non-zero status.
B. The servlet's init method throws a ServletException.
C. The servlet's init method sets the ServletResponse's context length to 0.
D. The servlet's init method sets the ServletResponse's context type to null.
E. The servlet's init method does not return within a time period defined by the servlet.

hi Rex,

Which two prevent a servlet from handling requests? Choose two.

A. The servlet's init method returns a non-zero status.
B. The servlet's init method throws a ServletException.
C. The servlet's init method sets the ServletResponse's context length to 0.
D. The servlet's init method sets the ServletResponse's context type to null.
E. The servlet's init method does not return within a time period defined by the servlet.
--------------------

A servlet is not put to service if its initialization is not successful and is immediatley removed by the container .

Since ur option B,E indicates the unsuccessful intializtion of Servlet ,so according to me
option B,E should be the correct answer.

Hi,

My answers are B and E.

If the init method throws the ServletException, or does not return in the perid set by container, the servlet cannot put into service by container.

Thanks

Hi Santosh,

C. The servlet's init method sets the ServletResponse's context length to 0.
D. The servlet's init method sets the ServletResponse's context type to null.

There is no way to set the context length and context type in the init method. The ServletResponse object is available only in the service methods as a parameter to these methods.

Thanks

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies!

In what scenario can the Servlet's init method NOT return within a period of time? How is this done by the container?

hi rex,

There may be scenario like when the init method is using some Remote resource(may be some kind of i/O operations) for initialization purpose and which does not return on time .

Thanks santosh for that info!

[Yogesh Hingmire]

Where can we set the time for the init method to return ? Or is it default and Container dependent ?

[Ankur Jain Kothari]

and what about the first option?

[Christophe Verré]

The init method of a servlet does not return any value. It's return type is void.

(That's a very old thread you know )
