Difference between Serialization and Externalization in Java
Serialization and externalization both are the processes of converting an object to stream byte and storing byte stream in database or memory. The class that implements java.io.Serializable interface can be serialized. What is Serialization? Java provides a mechanism called object serialization where an object can be converted into a byte stream that includes the object's data and details about the object's type. Example The following is an example of Serialization in Java: import java.io.Serializable; class SerializableExample implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 5081877L; String name; } public ...
Read MoreDifference between Concurrent hash map and Synchronized hashmap in Java
A Map is an object that stores key-value pairs, where each key is unique but values can repeat. The HashMap is a type of Map that uses a hashtable in order to store these pairs. Now we will discuss the differences between ConcurrentHashMap and Synchronized Hashmap. What is a ConcurrentHashMap? ConcurrentHashMap is a class that was introduced in jdk1.5. ConcurrentHashMap applies locks only at bucket level called fragment while adding or updating the map. So, aConcurrentHashMap allows concurrent read and write operation to the map. Example of ConcurrentHashMap The following is an example of ConcurrentHashMap in java − import java.util.Map; ...
Read MoreDifference between Comparable and Comparator in Java
Comparable and Comparator both are an interface that can be used to sort the elements of the collection. Comparator interface belongs to java.util package while comparable belongs to java.lang package. Comparator interface sort collection using two objects provided to it, whereas comparable interface compares" this" refers to the one objects provided to it. What is a Comparable interface? The Comparable interface is an interface which is used by Java Collections to sort and compare custom objects. It belongs to java.lang package and has a single method called compareTo(). Example of Comparable The following is an example of Comparable in ...
Read MoreWhat is the importance of a Cursor class in Java?
In this article, we will learn about the importance of the Cursor class in Java. Under the Swing toolkit, the Cursor class provides an improved user experience by providing graphical(visual) feedback. What is a Cursor class? A Cursor is a subclass of the Object class, and it can be defined as point or indicator on the screen. A Cursor is used to select the input from the system that the user operates with the mouse. The important methods of Cursor class are getDefaultCursor(), getName(), getPredefinedCursor(), getSystemCustomCursor(), and getType(). Syntax The following is the syntax: Cursor cursor = new Cursor(Type_of_Cursor); Different ...
Read MoreDifference between Tree Set and Hash Set in Java
In Java, HashSet and TreeSet both belong to the collection framework. HashSet is the implementation of the Set interface, whereas TreeSet implements a sorted set. TreeSet is backed by TreeMap while HashSet is backed by a HashMap. Difference Table The following are the key differences between HashSet and TreeSet : Sr. No. Key ...
Read MoreJava program to compare two sets
The given task is to write Java programs that compare two sets and check if they are equal or not. Here, Set is an interface of the Java Collection Framework that extends the Collection interface and stores unique elements. Set depicts the features of a mathematical set. Hence, it allows all those operations that we can perform on a mathematical set, such as union, comparison, intersection, etc. Since Set is an interface, we can't use its functionalities directly. For this purpose, we need a TreeSet class that implements the Set Interface and can access its methods. How to Compare Two Sets in ...
Read MoreWhat are the differences between JTextField and JTextArea in Java?
The main difference between JTextField and JTextArea in Java is that a JTextField allows entering a single line of text in a GUI application while the JTextArea allows entering multiple lines of text in a GUI application. JTextField The following are the key characteristics of JTextField in Java: A JTextFeld is one of the most important components that allow the user to an input text value in a single line format. A JTextField will generate an ActionListener interface when we trying to enter some input inside it. The JTextComponent is a superclass of JTextField that provides a common set ...

Read MoreHow many ways are there to register a driver in Java?
In this article, we will learn different ways to register a driver in Java. JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) is a standard API used to connect Java applications with databases. Before interacting with a database, you must register the JDBC driver so that the DriverManager can recognize and load it.To connect with a database using JDBC, you need to select the driver for the respective database and register the driver. You can register a database driver in two ways: Using Class.forName() method Using the registerDriver() method Register Driver Using Class.forName() Method The ...
Read MoreWhat is the importance of the Container class in Java?
In this article, we will learn about the importance of the Container class in Java. The Container class plays a vital role in creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and managing the layout of components. What is the Container Class? A Container class can be described as a special component that can hold a group of components. There are two types of Swing Containers they are top-level containers and low-level containers. Top-level containers are heavyweight containers such as JFrame, JApplet, JWindow, and JDialog. Low-level containers are lightweight containers such as JPanel. The most commonly used containers are JFrame, JPanel, and JWindow. ...
