For the first question:

I am not sure but the class defines the bean type (which has setters and getters). java.lang.String is not a class that contains these types of methods so I think you are unable to use it for the class. If I am wrong, someone please tell me.

The second question is correct. It does listeners, context, filters then servlets.
