core.js:1673 ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: instance[output.propName].subscribe is not a function

Hi Guys ,

Today I have faced this error :

core.js:1673 ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: instance[output.propName].subscribe is not a function

Later I have found out that I have imported the EventEmitter from a different package in my component file :

import { EventEmitter } from 'events';

Later when I changed the package to @angular/core it worked fine .

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

The full stack trace is below for your reference :

ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot match any routes.

Hi Guys ,

Today I have faced this error :

ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot match any routes. 

We will face this error when we enter the URL of the angular app and the URL does not have a matching route configured . To verify that check your AppModule or AppRoutingModule . 

1. check the router array :

const appRoutes:Routes =[

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

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

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

];

if the path is missing add to it .

2. check the import array :

imports: [

BrowserModule,

  FormsModule,

  ReactiveFormsModule,

  RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes),

],

You need to have the RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes) present in your application.

It defines schema which defines structure of xml.

• Explain wsdl2java

Use pluggin cfx-codegen-pluggin
Goal wsdl2java
Wsdl location
Binding files
Note : wsdl will have xsd,a java class for each xsd will be generated.

• What are the elements of soap message?

1. Envelope
2. Header
3. Body
4. Fault

•  What are SOLID principles in Rest Web services Development ?

1. Single Responsibility : Each class has only one function 
2. Open for Extension Closed for Modification : existing classes should not be modified , instead new classes should be created .
3. Liskov Substitution Principle :  App should work fine if we substitute subclass in place of super class .
4. Interface Segregation : large interfaces should be divided into smaller ones .

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 ?

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 .

• New features added in Spring 5.

1. bean scopes : singleton, prototype , request , session , application , websocket (one bean for lifecycle of Websocket )

• Explain the components of Spring MVC.

1. Dispatcher Servlet
2. Handler Mapping
3. Controller
4. Model And View
5. View Resolver
6. View

• Explain Dispatcher Servlet

Front Controller for all incoming Request.

entry added in web.xml for dispatcher servlet

• org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
• loadOnStartUp = 1

Create {servlet-name}-servlet.xml,specify

• context:component-scan
• mvc:annotation-driven

• What is handler mapping

Dispatcher servlet checks with handler mapping and  redirects to the appropriate controller .

• What is view resolver ?

It determines the view to which the request has to be transferred .

1. InternalResourceViewResolver : based on URL , suffix and prifix
2. XmlViewResolver : view definition in  a dedicated XML .
3. ResourceBundleViewResolver : view definition in a property file .

• What is ServletContext ?

One per application , created once the web application is deployed .

To access in spring context , the controller must implement ServletContextAware   ,add either of the following code  
1. 

@Autowired

ServletContext context; 

2.
private ServletContext context;

public void setServletContext(ServletContext servletContext) {
    this.context = servletContext;
}

Methods :

1. getInitParameter () : returns value set in <context-param> <param-name>

• What is servletConfig?

One per servlet

1. getInitParameter(String name): returns value set in <init-param><name>  
2. getInitParameterNames(): returns all <init-param>
3. getServletContext(): returns ServletContext
4. getServletName(): returns value set in <servlet><servlet-name>

• What is servlet context listener ?

gets notified when servlet context is initialized or destroyed .

• Explain  Spring MVC annotations?

1. @Controller : class is a web request handler 
2. @Component : auto-detection when using annotation-based 
3.  @RestController = @Controller + @ResponseBody
4. @RequestMapping method: get/put value : URL
5. @PathVariable input in request URL.
6. @RequestParam input in url with ?id=
7. @Transactional : can be applied to class or method.
8. @EnableWebMvc enable spring MVC through java configuration.

• What is WebMvcConfigurer .

To customise web MVC configuration.
Like add view controller
View resolver in java code .

• What is WebApplicationInitializer

used to configure servlet context programmatically , used as an alternative to configuration in web.xml

• Explain file upload in spring 

1. use CommonsMultipartResolver add dependency commons-fileupload
2. add bean configuration in servlet-config.xml file 
• "multipartResolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver"
3. input type = file in html
4. @RequestParam MultipartFile

• What is a profile

If we want enable a bean only during development and not in production we can assign the profile to the bean , using @Profile("dev")

• How to declare a profile ?

1. Set the servlet context init Param using WebApplicationInitializer
2. Set context Param in web.xml
3. Set the JVM system parameter
4. Set the environment variable
5. Set in maven profile
6.  Configurable environment set active profile

• Explain spring events 

1. event class should extend ApplicationEvent
2. publish event can be done using applicationEventPublisher.publishEvent(customSpringEvent);
3. listener has to implement ApplicationListener<MyEvent>
4. listener need to override onApplicationEvent(MyEvent myEvent)

• What are the events related to ApplicationContext

1. ContextRefreshedEvent
2. ContextStartedEvent
3. ContextStoppedEvent
4. ContextClosedEvent

• What is Join Point ?

An event occurred during the execution of a program.

1. method called 
2. state changed
3. exception occurred 

• What is an Point Cut ?

an expression

• What is an advice ?

Action taken (method ).

1. before
2. after
3. around : decides whether the method gets executed or not
4. afterReturning :executed only if method executed successfully .
5. afterThrowing : executed only if exception is occurred during method execution .

• What is aspect ?

class that implements cross cutting concerns .

1. logging
2. security
3. transaction management
4. exception handling
5. performance testing

• What is weaving?

Linking aspect with other objects/application types to create adviced object.

• What is proxy?

Object created after applying advice to target object.

• What are the features of spring boot?

1. Auto configuration : configure beans based on the jar available at classpath  and beans used in the project . Annotations used : @ConditionalOnClass, @ConditionalOnMissingBean .
2. Starters project
