ObParm o = new ObParm();
o.amethod();
}
public void amethod(){
int i = 99;
ValHold v = new ValHold();
v.i=30;
another(v,i);
System.out.println(v.i);

}//End of amethod

public void another(ValHold v, int i){

i=0;
v.i = 20;
ValHold vh = new ValHold();
v = vh;
System.out.println(v.i+ " "+i);

1. Answer 3 is correct.
The company name is the only attribute that is appropriate to include in the Director
class. The name and the age of the director can be stored in the Person class. The spouse
was not a requirement; if this was a requirement then it would be appropriate to change
the design of the Person class to include this.

2. Answer 3 is correct.
The compilation fails because the run() method that is defined by the Runnable interface
is not implemented.

3. Answer 1 is the correct answer because when both the String and Object argument
constructors are considered by the compiler for eligibility, the compiler will choose the
'Most specific method' - which in this case is the String version.

The most specific method is defined as the method which can on invocation,
call the other method without a compile time error. Therefore since the String version can
in turn call the Object version but not the other way round, the String version is used.

4. Choices 1 and 4 are correct.

1. ejbPassivate() is called prior to passivation
4. ejbActivate() is called immediately after activation

5. Choices 2 and 4 are correct

2. Entity beans can survive a server crash but Stateful Session beans can’t.
4. Entity beans are typically used to make calls on Session beans.

6. Choice B (false} is corect

7. Choice 5 (Set)

8. Choice D (To control the arrangement of components within the display area of a
container )

9. Choice C (Equijoin)

10. Choice 4) 10,0,20

In the call
another(v,i);
a reference to v is passed and thus any changes will be intact after this call.
