Which is just a single line of code :)

Thread management takes cpu cycles...

All Collections framework classes implement toString() to return a list of all elements in the Collection, calling the toString() of each element.

That's a job for a servlet, not a jsp.

The correct content type is the one registered with bodies like the w3c, not one that someone cooked up in his head because he thought it "sounds kewl".

Better get used to Visual Studio. It's the most used IDE for Windows development out there by far.
It's actually a very good (in the later versions, not talking v.6 here) product, but it's very large and complex which means beginners often don't like it because there's so much to learn.

I hope someday India will fix its education system, and when it does, it will take over the world because Indians are the most naturally intelligent people in the world.

Both your posts show that you're completely and utterly wrong.
Indians are apparently still under the mistaken impression that they're inherently superior to the rest of the world and only waiting for some dramatic event that will allow them to take over the planet and make everyone their slaves.

In reality the image people get from you is one of highly selfish, full of yourselves, untalented, racist, and lazy people.
That image might be wrong, but it is the image you convey in a lot of the things you do. Not all of you, but enough of you for it to severely influence the way the world sees all of you.

This so-called "interview" and the answers provided by both you and op are typical of all that's wrong with the Indian education system, software "profession", and attitude towards foreigners in just a few hundred lines.

no company gives a rookie a project to run on his own.
no company gives anyone a project with no specs except "we want an online examination system".
no company would give that rookie a deadline of 20 days to build a complete system.
no company would agree with you plagiarising someone elses code.

From all this only one conclusion is possible: you're a sick lazy homework kiddo that's trying to trick others into doing your school assignment for you.

And no, we're not going to do that. We love to see kiddos like you fail miserably, it's better than you deserve.

What does this have to do with JSP anyway?

It's just as bad in C++ to assume you own the console.

You don't own the console, and should NEVER assume that you do.
Therefore you should NEVER try to clear it and should NEVER assume that no other process writes to it.

guess what, you never fill the array from which the dropdown is filled...

What exactly "isn't happening"?
Check the generated html. Is the data there but isn't it shown?
If it is your html generation is at fault. If it isn't, you are almost certainly having an error in a loop somewhere in your code, causing the output of the list to be skipped.

A Google program won't ever be able to block Google ads, which are most of the ads on the 'net, so an adblocker in it won't be functional.

I wonder, does it even allow you to access competing services like Yahoo and Hotmail, or does Google fake DNS errors?

I won't touch anything created by Google. It's all spyware.
Anyway, the first 2 security leaks have already been identified in it. Rather quick, only a few hours after release...

says it all. Toplink can't find the jdbc driver for the database you're telling it to use.
Supply the driver and you'll get another error (or it might even work if everything else is correct).

they shouldn't, but that doesn't mean they don't...
It all depends on how the website was programmed.

nope. Discoverer reports are the same for everyone who has access to them.

you never add the menubar to the window...

the main prophet for profit is the current prophet of Doom: Al Gore.
There's also a messiah for profit: Obama.

The garbage collector is very smart. There's hardly ever a need to use the provided commands to SUGGEST it runs.
If you think you need to, you almost certainly have an error somewhere in your code causing excessive memory use that prevents garbage collection by holding on to objects unnecessarilly.

Cobol

yup, to the eternal regret of people doomed to work with their results.

in fact police agencies the world over have been doing that since ancient times...

but what the heck does this have to do with JSP?
DSN is an ODBC concept, and has no relation to Java whatsoever.
It's also an utterly outdated concept for for example .NET.

and of course you should not do anything except displaying the results from a JSP.

There's a Java category in the list of categories of items when you connect to a database.

if it says it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. So you're missing those classes or don't have them in the right place.
NEVER try to second-guess error messages, they're correct (if sometimes a bit cryptic, which this one isn't).

That's his worst problem, but not the immediate one.
The immediate one is failing to take into consideration the requirement to add the application classes to the classpath he uses to attempt to run it.

VB is a mess. In fact anything that mixes display logic with business logic is a mess...
At least in Java you will be eased into doing things the right way, in VB that's almost impossible.

write a thesis about why it's irresponsible to use VB for serious software development, and submit that with a C# application :)

There is a pretty decent book "C# for Java programmers" that explains the transition from Java to C#.
Given that VB.NET is another .NET/CLR language, you should be able to use that together with a VB.NET reference to get underway.

that's one bad JSP. Scriptlets, no proper headers, etc. etc.

an even simpler solution is to check the timestamps on posts before replying to them...

maybe you read my post which got deleted

was that one even worse gibberish than the one that didn't get deleted?

maybe you should start learning some English, and don't try to do that in "half da time".

If I were to get a cover letter or resume written like you are writing I'd ditch it instantly.

says it all. You don't have permission to read that file.

by reading the tutorials that come with it and the JEE distribution from Sun.

It's also no longer supported, and I think not even Y2K compliant in places.
There is NO reason to use it.

and don't revive old dead threads to post nonsense "solutions".

Almost ALL schoolkids think their school is bad because it doesn't let them do what they want to do.

If you're bright you'll recognise that what most kids want to do is anything BUT schoolwork so it's a good thing schools don't let the kids decide for themselves.

What languages a school uses to teach programming is largely irrelevant. Pascal is in fact an EXCELLENT choice (VB6 isn't, but that's another story that has nothing to do with education and everything with VB6).
As to having to come up with your own project ideas, that's excellent. Teaches you to think for yourself, something far too few kids these days can do.

As to starting out as a pro, learning to think for yourself is the first step.
And remember that most professionals didn't go to school to learn to program, they taught themselves or were taught on the job.

and "shows some error message" isn't going to tell anyone much of anything.

and it seems the kid also misses a basic understanding of classpaths, server configuration, and a lot of other things quite apart from not knowing Java and having the terribly bad idea of using scriptlets.

And it gets worse. The kid creates the chart (or tries to) as a file and then tries to do something unmentionable with it (at least the kid doesn't mention what it does with it, so I assume it's unmentionable).
Far easier to create a servlet that streams the chart and call that from an <img> tag.

We still have some customers on Oracle 9i, but we're no longer taking any new contracts for it (and haven't for quite some time).
New contracts taken only for 10g and 11g (preferred) unless it's a migration project from an earlier version to one of those.

PS: there is no way some of the previous posts can be real..6? 2? no one is that saint-like

Most people are self-delusional and dishonest even to themselves, which is why such tests should never be done based solely on yes/no statements made by the person being tested.
This is especially true of psychopaths.

But I don't see how some of those questions relate to psychopaths..

psychopaths typically don't...

what does it ask? It asks you where your JRE is.
What should you do? GUESS!

What's wrong with Sumerian, Egyptian, and Greek?

kid's still insisting on doing database access from JSP.
Maybe if it would stop trying that it would get somewhere...

when the power plug isnt in.

I've actually had that reported as a bug in our software on more than one occasion (of course not worded like that, the truth only comes out when questioning past the "it doesn't work" stage).

And in one of those cases that led to a new requirement that the software should not fail in case of power failure (not kidding).

good of them to do that. Those drugs have longterm negative effects on health, are illegal to use without a prescription (and thus if those kids use them they ARE committing a crime and so probably are their parents for providing them).

There's IMO no difference to these kids using illegal prescription drugs or using cocaine. Both have the effect of temporarilly hightening alertness and increasing mental powers, but at the longterm cost of destroying that same brain.

It's also cheating at exams to use them, as you're misrepresenting your mental faculties thus reducing the value of the exam score in determining your capabilities.

if the kid's too lazy to prepare for his interview, he doesn't deserve the job and WILL fail in it if he does get it.
