Hibernate interview questions

This blog is just for revision .

• What is ORM ?

Object Relational Mapping : Object to database tables .

• Explain Core Classes in hibernate .

1. Configuration : load xml file .
2. SessionFactory : thread safe
3. Session : get connection with database , not thread safe , used to perform CRUD operations .
4. Transaction :  commit and rollback operations . unit of work.
5. Query : common query language for any type of database.
6. Criteria : add restrictions and projections

• Explain Hibernate configuration file 

contains database details used to initialize session factory .

• Explain Hibernate Mapping file 

contains table and column details also contains the entity bean mapping .

• Explain state of the entity in the persistence context .

Session is the persistence context which is used to manage relationship of the entities .

1. transient : newly created object 
2. persistent : associated with session ( session.save)
3. detached : session closed 

• How to use hibernate in spring ?

In application context.xml file specify

1. the datasource bean  DriverManagerDataSource  
• specify the username /password or jndi
2. sessionfactory bean LocalSessionFactoryBean
3. transaction bean HibernateTransactionManager
4. tx:annotation driven 

• What is hibernate dialect.

Different dialect for different databases
MySqlDialect , Oracle Dialect ,Db2 Dialect.

• What are the different consistency anomalies in hibernate .

1. dirty read .reading uncommitted data
2. non repeatable read : second read returns different values for a row
3. phantom read : second read returns different number of rows 

• Explain isolation level .

1. Read uncommitted
2. Read committed :  

      4. Repeatable Read : second read will return same value 

      8. synchronized : does not allow concurrency

Isolation level is set using property hibernate.connection.isolation 

• Explain the locking strategy based on isolation level .

1. Read uncommitted : no lock 
2. Read committed : lock on committed data

      4. Repeatable Read : lock on a block of  SQL

      8. Synchronized : full lock on table .

• In which scenario repeatable read will return different data .

If the read is based on a condition and another thread inserts a row in database . Now for the second read we may get the new also if it satisfies the condition .

• What is Caching in hibernate ?

1. First level Catch : session cache of hibernate , enabled by default 
2. Second Level Cache : optional , eg : Ehcache 
3. Query Level Cache : cached query results . set hibernate.cache.use_query_cache property to true. 

• What are the concurrency strategies for second level cache?

1. Transactional : synchronized with the database .
2. Read-write : if the transaction is not committed , the entity is fetched from database and referred from the cache .
3. non strict read write : cache updated after data committed
4. read only : used when data never gets changed .

• What is dirty checking?

When hibernate loads an entity it keeps a copy of it in the memory, on tx.commit it compares the entity and the copy . If there are any changes, update statement is executed in the database.

• Explain session.get

1. Hits the database immediately.
2. If record is not available in the database it returns null.

• Explain session.load

1. Returns proxy object without hitting the database.
2. If the record is not available and when we try to access it through the proxy object we get Object Not Found Exception.

• What is the difference between get and load ?

in case of no records in the database get returns null and load throws an exception .

• What is the difference between save and persist ?

save return the id and persists returns nothing .persist marks the entity as persistent , does not generate Insert statement outside transaction boundaries . session.save on detached object will create a new row , session.persist on detached object will throw persistentobjectexception.

What is the difference between session.save and session.saveorupdate
save will insert the record if the Id is not available and throw exception if the Id is available. Saveorupdate will insert the record if the Id is not available, else it will update it.

• What is the difference between update and merge ?

Update is used to update the persistent entity and Merge is used to update a detached entity .

• What is the difference between session.flush and transaction.commit ?

flush synchronizes the persistent store with the state held  in memory .
commit commits the record to the database .

• Explain Criteria

Used to filter record

cr =Session.createCriteria
cr.list();

• Explain Restrictions

Used to add condition s to the query to compare the columns
Cr.add( Restrictions.eq("id" , 10));

• Explain Projections

Used to call an aggregate method . Min , max , count .
Cr.setProjection( Projections.max("id"));

• What is Declarative transaction management  ?

 transaction handling is not a part of business logic . 

using @Transactional :

• What is Programmatic transaction management ?

transaction management is a part of business logic . 

• Explain Different transaction manager used in spring .

1. DataSourceTransactionManager : uses datasource 
2. HibernateTransactionManager : uses sessionfactory
3. JpaTransactionManager : uses entitiymanagerfactory 

• Explain transaction propagation ?

using @Transactional( propagation=Propagation.

1. REQUIRED : (default) if transaction is available use it otherwise create a new one. 
2. REQUIRES_NEW : create a new transaction , commit / rollback is independent .
3. NESTED : uses outer transaction but creates a savepoint to allow partial rollback and commit .

• What is readOnly in @Transactional ?

used for only read operations

• What are Value Types .

1. Basic 
2. Composite / Embedded
3. Collection : for one to many .

• Explain Many to Many .

Tables : Person , Project, PersonProject 

Entities :

Person : on projects set attribute add

1. @ManyToMany 
2. @JoinTable ( name=PersonProject , joinColums=@JoinColum , inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColum  )

Project: on persons set attribute add

1.  @ManyToMany(mappedBy = "projects")

• Explain One to Many

Tables : Person , Address

Entities :

•   Explain Cascade type :

In case of mapping like one to one,or one to many , cascade type defines how changes in the entity will cascade to the mapped entity .
@ oneToMany cascade = Cascade Type.ALL

1. All
2. Persist
3. Merge
4. Refresh
5. Remove
6. Detach

• How to lazy load the mapped classes

@oneToMany fetch = Fetch type.Lazy

• What are the fetching strategies ?

1. Join Fetching 
2. Select Fetching 
3. Sub select Fetching 
4. Batch Fetching 

• How to handle multiple databases ?

1. @Table (schema= "")
2. create two sessionfactory , use @Qualifier

• How to handle distributed databases ?

use XA datasource , if  transaction is failed in one database , the entire transaction is roll backed .

• What is the difference between jdbc and JTA?

2 phase commit can be handled using JTA only .

•  Explain different ways of creating  EntityManager ?

1. Container Managed : 

@PersistenceContext

EntityManager entityManager; 

2. Application Managed 

EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("org.model.student");

• Explain  Anomalies in DBMS

1. Update : multiple rows needs to be updated to update a data .

2. Insert : cannot insert a row without supplementary data.

3. Delete : unable to delete a data as this will cause the important information to be deleted.

• Explain normalization.

Normalization is a process of organizing the data in database to avoid data redundancy, insertion anomaly, update anomaly & deletion anomaly.

Terminology :

1. attribute : column

2. candidate key : primary key ( simple or composite )

3. prime attribute : column which is part of primary key

4. non prime attribute : column not part of primary key .

5. super key : any set of attributes which identifies a unique record .

6. functional dependency : B depends on A 

7. transitive dependency : B is dependent of A . C is dependent of B . So C has a transitive dependency on A .

1NF : attribute should be atomic.

2NF : non prime attribute should not depend on a subset of primary key

3NF : non prime attribute should not have transitive dependency with the super key .

BCNF : any functional dependency should be a super key .

• How do HashMap handles different key with same hashcode ?

takes the hashcode of the key and check if it matches a with the hashcode of existing key . If the same hashcode exists then it compares both the keys using equals method . If both the keys are same it replaces the existing value with the new one . If both the keys does not match then it adds a new entry  in the same bucker .

• What is BlockingQueue

Thread-safe , does not accept null value . FIFO . It is used to implement producer / consumer issues .

1. put : add the element to the queue , if space is not available it waits for the space to be available.
2. take : returns element from head of the queue , if no elements wait for the element to come.

Angular interview Questions

Most Common Angular Interview Questions :

• What is Angular  ?

Client Side Framework based on node js and typescript

• What are the building blocks of Angular ?

Component , Template , Service , Dependency Injection , Data binding , Routing , Module

• How does Angular Application starts ?

main.ts -> platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule) -> AppModule

• What is a component ?

Basic building block , it has template which is loaded on using the selector .

• What is a template ?

it is the html part of component .
Two types are there
1. within the component.ts enclosed in back tick
2. in a separate html file .

• How to style a component ?

Three ways : 1. inside the component.ts using style
2. in a separate css using styleUrl
3 . multiple css files can be included using styles [] .

• What is providers for component ?

It specifies the Services to be used in the component .

• Explain model to view binding ?

Two ways : {{}} Interpolation : variables defined in component can be used in template .
[] property binding : a known property of html element is bound to a variable defined in component .

• Explain view to model binding ?

using () : event binding : binds an event to method defined in component .

• Explain two way binding ?

using [()] : it is a combination of event binding and property binding , it synchronizes the data between model and view . 
eg : <input [(ngModel)] = "myInput" > <span >you entered {{myInput}} </span>

• What is a module ?

Module groups related components , services , directives and pipes .
4 Parts :
1. declarations [] : list of components , pipes and directives
2. imports [] : list of modules , used to import routes
3. providers [] : list of services
4. bootstrap : the root component that Angular creates and inserts into the index.html.

• What is a root module ?

The module loaded on start of the app . This imports BrowserModule  . Only one per app .

• What are directives ?

Add to the DOM .

3 Types :
Components :directives with template.
Structural :  add / remove DOM elements. *ng-if , *ng-for
Attribute  : change the appearance or behavior of an element, component, or another directive. Eg : ngClass

• How to create custom attribute directive ?

using @Directive , in the constructor we can access the native element from ElementRef.nativeElement , using which we can manipulate the DOM.
we can also use @Input to get the input in the specified property .

• How to create custom structural directive ?

using @Directive , inject ViewContainerRef and TemplateRef , in ngOnChanges()  using this.container.createEmbeddedView  .

• How to pass data from parent and child component ?

Using @Input on a property in child component and pass the data to property in while it is called in parent component .

• How to pass data from child to parent component ?

1.  Using @ViewChild(Component class) add to a variable of Child component in parent  component  
2.  Using @Output and EventEmitter .eg :  @Output() voted = new EventEmitter<boolean>();            this.voted.emit(agreed);

Note: EventEmitter is subclass of Observable .

• How to pass data between unrelated component ?

Using a service , create a variable as BehaviorSubject type , another variable as observable for the variable  and a method to change the value . Subscribe the observable in both components , if value is changed from one component it will be reflected in other component .

• What is LifeCycle hook?

For a component Angular creates it, renders it, creates and renders its children, checks it when its data-bound properties change, and destroys it before removing it from the DOM. 

1. ngOnChanges()
2. ngOnInit()
3. ngDoCheck()
4. ngAfterContentInit()
5. ngAfterContentChecked()
6. ngAfterViewInit()
7. ngAfterViewChecked()
8. ngOnDestroy() 

Before these methods the constructor is called .

• What is a service ?

It is used to perform a task , like http put or get .

• What is dependency Injection ?

Angular creates instance of all  the services and makes it available for the component . Services are singleton .

1. constructor injection :dependencies are made available through constructor 
2. property injection :directly setting the object property .

• What is @optional

For optional dependencies , injector will inject null if dependencies are not found.

• What is injector?

resolves token into dependency .

• Explain   Hierarchical injector.

tree of injectors that parallels an app's component tree

using @Injectible

• When to use @providedin : root ?

when service is used anyway , if service is rarely used specify the service in provider [] of component .providedIn can also hold any module other than root .

• What is routing?

Loading of components based on URL .

• What is a feature module ?

Contains a group of components, directives pipes  with similar features  and imported in root module .

• What is lazy routing ?

Root module should be split into feature module and a routing module . Feature modules can have its own routing module . RouterModule.forRoot() is used in the app Routing Module and RouterModule.forChild() is used in the Routing Module of feature module . In the app routing module loadChildren is used instead of component .

2. Observable can be cancelled, promise can't.
3. Promise handles single event , observable is a stream and allows multiple events.

• What is async pipe?

It allows to bind with the observable directly in the template.
The advantage of using AsyncPipe is that we don’t need to call subscribe on our observable and store the intermediate data on our component.

• How to create a promise .

Promise handles single event when async operation completes or fails
let promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

    //http call 

  });

return promise;

ERROR Error: Found the synthetic property @transitionMessages.

Hi Guys ,

Today I have faced this error :

ERROR Error: Found the synthetic property @transitionMessages.

The fix is to add the following modules to your ng module file .

------------app.module.ts---------------------------------------------------------

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';

import {MatSelectModule} from '@angular/material/select';

import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

const appRoutes:Routes =[

{path:'cust-detail',component: CustDetailComponent},

{path:'mcq',component: MCQComponent},

{path:'sign-up',component: SignUpComponent}

];

@NgModule({

  declarations: [

    AppComponent,

    CustDetailComponent,

    MCQComponent,

    SignUpComponent

  ],

  imports: [

    BrowserModule,

FormsModule,

MatSelectModule,

BrowserAnimationsModule

  ],

  providers: [QuizServiceService],

  bootstrap: [AppComponent]

})

export class AppModule { }

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This error comes if you are using mat-select and mat-option . This is required module so we need to import it to make the select functionality work .

The full stack trace is as below :

ERROR Error: Found the synthetic property @transitionMessages. Please include either "BrowserAnimationsModule" or "NoopAnimationsModule" in your application.

ERROR in node_modules/rxjs-compat/operator/shareReplay.d.ts(2,10): error TS2305:

Hi Guys ,

Today I have faced this error :

ERROR in node_modules/rxjs-compat/operator/shareReplay.d.ts(2,10): error TS2305:



You will face this error if you are using "rxjs-compat": "^6.4.0", in package .json .

To fix set the version of rxjs and rxjs-compat as below .

---------------------package.json--------------------------------

"rxjs": "6.3.3",
    "rxjs-compat": "6.3.3"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

update to package.json needs npm update
ng serve , it works !

I faced this error since i didn't installed material module. Here's the solution if you face the same  issue.
Go to the command prompt and type the following command:

npm install --save rxjs-compat 

Once installed ng serve,it should work.
