Lab 1:

WAP to demonstrate Exception Handling.


Theory:

The Exception Handling in Java is one of the powerful mechanism to handle the runtime
errors so that the normal flow of the application can be maintained. In Java, an exception is an
event that disrupts the normal flow of the program. It is an object which is thrown at runtime.
Java exception handling is managed via five keywords: try, catch, throw, throws, finally.

 Program statements that we want to monitor for exceptions are contained within a
Try block.

 If an exception occurs within the try block, it is thrown.


 Our code can catch this exception (using catch) and handle it in some rational
manner.

 System-generated exceptions are automatically thrown by the Java run-time


system.

 To manually throw an exception, use the keyword throw


 Any exception that is thrown out of a method must be specified as such by a throws
clause.

 Any code that absolutely must be executed before a method returns is put in a finally block.
Source Code:

public class Exception handleing {

public static void main(String[] args) {

int a=6;

int b=0;

try{
int c=a/b;

[Link]("The vale of c is "+c);

catch(ArithmeticException e)

[Link](e);

Lab 2:

WAP to create a simple calculator GUI using the concept of Swing, Event
Handling in Java programming Language.
Theory:
Java Swing is a GUI (graphical user Interface) widget toolkit for Java. Java Swing is a part of
Oracle’s Java foundation classes. Java Swing is an API for providing graphical user interface
elements to Java Programs. Swing was created to provide more powerful and flexible
components than Java AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit).

Methods used: 
1. add(Component c) : adds component to container.
2. addActionListenerListener(ActionListener d) : add actionListener for specified
component
3. setBackground(Color c) : sets the background color of the specified container
4. setSize(int a, int b) : sets the size of container to specified dimensions.
5. setText(String s) : sets the text of the label to s.
6. getText() : returns the text of the label.

Conclusion:
In this lab of Advanced Java Programming, we successfully created a simple calculator GUI
using the elements of Java Swing and the java event handling.
Lab 3:

I. Write a java program using TCP such that client sends number to
server and displays its factorial. The server computes factorial of the
number received from client.
Theory:
Java Socket Programming:

Java Socket programming is used for communication between the applications running on
different JRE. Java Socket programming can be connection-oriented or connection-less. Socket
and ServerSocket classes are used for connection-oriented socket programming and
DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket classes are used for connection-less socket programming.
The client in socket programming must know two information:

1. IP Address of Server, and


2. Port number.

Here, we are going to make one-way client and server communication. In this application, client
sends a message to the server, server reads the message and prints it. Here, two classes are being
used: Socket and ServerSocket. The Socket class is used to communicate client and server.
Through this class, we can read and write message. The ServerSocket class is used at server-side.
The accept() method of ServerSocket class blocks the console until the client is connected. After
the successful connection of client, it returns the instance of Socket at server-side.

Source Code:

//server program
import [Link].*;
import [Link].*;
class Server
{
            public static void main(String args[])
      {
                        try
            {
                                    ServerSocket ss=new ServerSocket(1064);
                                    [Link]("Waiting for Client Request");
                                    Socket s=[Link]();
                                    BufferedReader br;
                                    PrintStream ps;
                                    String str;
                                    br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader([Link]()));
                                    str=[Link]();
                                    [Link]("Received number");
                                    int x=[Link](str);
                                    int fact=1;
                                    for(int i=1;i<=x;i++)
                                    fact=fact*i;
                  
                                    ps=new PrintStream([Link]());
                                    [Link]([Link](fact));
                                    [Link]();
                                    [Link]();
                                    [Link]();
                                    [Link]();
            }
                        catch(Exception e)
            {
                                    [Link](e);
            }
      }
}

//Client program
import [Link].*;
import [Link].*;
class Client
{
            public static void main(String args[])throws IOException
      {
            
                        Socket s=new Socket([Link](),1064);
                        BufferedReader br;
                        PrintStream ps;
                        String str;
                        [Link]("Enter a number  :");
                        br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader([Link]));
                        ps=new PrintStream([Link]());
                        [Link]([Link]());
                        br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader([Link]()));
                        str=[Link]();
                        [Link]("The facorial of the number is : "+str);
                        [Link]();
                        [Link]();
      }
}
II. Write a java program using UDP showing that the sending and
receiving of message using DatagramPacket and DatagramSocket
class.

Theory:
Java DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket

Java DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket classes are used for connection-less socket
programming using the UDP instead of TCP.

Datagram

Datagrams are collection of information sent from one device to another device via the
established network. When the datagram is sent to the targeted device, there is no assurance that
it will reach to the target device safely and completely. It may get damaged or lost in between.
Likewise, the receiving device also never know if the datagram received is damaged or not. The
UDP protocol is used to implement the datagrams in Java.

Java DatagramSocket class

Java DatagramSocket class represents a connection-less socket for sending and receiving


datagram packets. It is a mechanism used for transmitting datagram packets over network. A
datagram is basically an information but there is no guarantee of its content, arrival or arrival
time.

Source Code:
//sender
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
class Dsender  {
    public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {
    DatagramSocket ds= new DatagramSocket();
    String str= "Message sent by server";
    InetAddress ip = [Link]();
    DatagramPacket dp = new DatagramPacket([Link](), [Link](),ip, 6666);
    [Link](dp);
    [Link]("Message sent!");
    [Link]();
  }
}
//receiver
import [Link];
import [Link];
public class Dreceiver {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        DatagramSocket ds= new DatagramSocket(6666);
        byte[] buf= new byte[1024];
        DatagramPacket dp=new DatagramPacket(buf, 1024);
        [Link](dp);
        String str= new String([Link](),0,[Link]());
        [Link](str);
        [Link]("Message received!");
        [Link]();
    }   
}

Output:
Conclusion:
In this lab session, we successfully implement the concepts of Network Programming: TCP/IP
and UDP using the [Link] package classes in Java programming language.
Lab 4:
You are hired by a reputed software company which is going to design an
application for "Movie Rental System". Your responsibility is to design a
schema named MRS and create a table named Movie (id, Title, Genre,
Language, Length).

WAP to design a GUI form to take input for this table and insert the data into
table after clicking the OK button.
Theory:
JDBC:

JDBC stands for Java Database Connectivity. JDBC is a Java API to connect and execute the
query with the database. It is a part of JavaSE (Java Standard Edition). JDBC API uses JDBC
drivers to connect with the database. There are four types of JDBC drivers:

 JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver,


 Native Driver,
 Network Protocol Driver, and
 Thin Driver

using above Movie Rental System GUI.
Lab 5:

Write servlet application to:

1. To print current date and time.

2. Communicate between Html and servlet.

3. Create an auto refreshed page.


Theory:
Servlet:

Servlet technology is used to create a web application (resides at server side and generates a
dynamic web page). Servlet technology is robust and scalable because of java language. Before
Servlet, CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripting language was common as a server-side
programming language.

Lab 6:

Write JSP application program to login page.


Theory:
JSP:
Java Server Pages (JSP) technology is used to create web application just like Servlet technology.
It can be thought of as an extension to Servlet because it provides more functionality than servlet
such as expression language, JSTL, etc. A JSP page consists of HTML tags and JSP tags. The
JSP pages are easier to maintain than Servlet because we can separate designing and
development. It provides some additional features such as Expression Language, Custom Tags,
etc.

Lab 7:

Write RMI program to add two numbers.


Theory:
RMI:
The RMI (Remote Method Invocation) is an API that provides a mechanism to create distributed
application in java. The RMI allows an object to invoke methods on an object running in another
JVM. The RMI provides remote communication between the applications using two
objects stub and skeleton.

Source Code:

//define remote interface

import [Link].*;

public interface AddRem extends Remote

public int addNum(int a, int b) throws RemoteException;

//implementation of interface
import [Link].*;
import [Link];
public class AddRemImp1 extends UnicastRemoteObject implements AddRem
{
public AddRemImp1() throws RemoteException{
  
}
public int addNum(int a, int b){
return (a+b);
}
}

//client program
import [Link].*;
import [Link].*;
import [Link].*;
public class AddClient {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Scanner sc;
        try {
            String host = "localhost";
            sc = new Scanner([Link]);
            [Link]("Enter the 1st parameter");
            int a = [Link]();
            [Link]("Enter the 2nd parameter");
            int b = [Link]();
            AddRem remobj = (AddRem) [Link]("rmi://" + host + "/AddRem");
            [Link]([Link](a, b));
        } catch (RemoteException re) {
            [Link]();
        } catch (NotBoundException nbe) {
            [Link]();
        } catch (MalformedURLException mfe) {
            [Link]();
    }
  }
}

//server program
import [Link].*;
import [Link].*;
public class AddServer
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try{
AddRemImp1 locobj= new AddRemImp1();
[Link]("rmi:///AddRem",locobj);
}
catch(RemoteException re){
[Link]();
}
catch(MalformedURLException mfe){
[Link]();

Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) enables distributed application development by allowing a Java object residing in one Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to invoke methods on an object located in another JVM seamlessly. RMI abstracts the details of remote communication, providing a simple interface for executing methods remotely as if they were local. Core components of RMI include the stub and skeleton: the stub acts as a proxy on the client side for the remote object, marshaling method calls and forwarding them to the server, while the skeleton resides on the server, unmarshaling incoming messages and invoking the corresponding method on the actual object .

Java Socket Programming allows communication between applications running on different Java Runtime Environment (JRE) through network connections. The Socket class is used on the client-side to connect to the server and exchange messages. The server-side uses the ServerSocket class to listen for incoming client requests. Upon a client's connection attempt, the ServerSocket's accept() method creates a new Socket object dedicated to communicating with that specific client. Thus, the Socket class handles data transmission, while the ServerSocket class manages incoming connections .

The primary benefit of using Exception Handling in Java is to handle runtime errors seamlessly so that the normal flow of the application can continue without interruption. The 'try' block is used to enclose code that might throw an exception, which allows the application to monitor potential errors. If an exception occurs, it is 'caught' using the 'catch' block, where specific actions can be taken to manage the error, thus preventing the application from crashing. The 'finally' block contains code that needs to be executed regardless of whether an exception occurred or was caught, ensuring critical execution paths are always followed .

Servlets significantly contribute to creating dynamic web applications by running on a server and generating content based on user requests, allowing for interactive and responsive web pages. Unlike traditional CGI scripts, servlets are more efficient because they remain in the server memory between requests, reducing the overhead of creating a new process for each request. Servlets also offer better scalability, security, and performance due to Java's capabilities. They can easily manage session states and handle multiple requests simultaneously, which is more challenging with CGI scripts that typically require a separate execution for each interaction .

Java Server Pages (JSP) is used in Java application development to create dynamic web pages by embedding HTML tags and JSP-specific tags that are processed on the server before sending the output to the client's browser. JSP extends servlet functionality by simplifying the creation of web content with reusable components and expression language, allowing a clearer separation of business logic from presentation code. While servlets require writing more boilerplate code to achieve the same functionality, JSP allows embedding Java code directly within HTML, which reduces complexity and makes it easier to maintain. JSP is generally more accessible for web designers who are not as proficient with Java, as it provides a more intuitive and visually oriented approach compared to servlets .

Using servlet technology over JSP for server-side web application programming in Java presents several benefits, including better control over the content generation process, greater performance optimization opportunities through direct coding, and a more robust and secure environment through Java's security features. Servlets are well-suited for tasks that require significant processing or complex transactional logic. However, potential challenges include increased complexity in maintaining code due to the verbose nature of Java, lack of separation between presentation and business logic, and a steeper learning curve for developers focused on design rather than back-end logic. These challenges are less pronounced with JSP, which allows mixing HTML with Java code for more straightforward web page design .

JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) is crucial for applications needing database integration because it provides a standard Java API for interacting with a wide range of databases. JDBC allows Java applications to connect to a database, execute queries, and process the results. This capability enhances data handling by enabling developers to write portable, platform-independent database applications. Through the use of JDBC drivers, it facilitates seamless communication between a Java application and a database, ensuring that the application can perform tasks such as data retrieval, updates, and transaction management efficiently and reliably .

The model-view-controller (MVC) pattern in Java web applications is a design pattern that divides the application into three interconnected components: the model, the view, and the controller. The model represents the application data and business logic, the view presents the data to the user, and the controller handles input, converts it to commands for the model, or changes the view. This separation enhances application organization by allowing different team members to work on the model, view, and controller independently. It also improves development efficiency by promoting modularization, making the application easier to manage, maintain, and scale. MVC contributes to a clear separation of concerns, improving both code reuse and the overall maintainability of the application .

Writing a GUI application like a calculator using Java Swing exemplifies the principles of event-driven programming in Java by showing how user interactions like clicking buttons are treated as events that trigger specific actions within the program. Swing components can register event listeners for various types of events, and the event-driven model allows applications to respond asynchronously to user inputs. This structure supports real-time feedback and dynamic interaction flow, crucial for applications requiring immediate responses to user actions. In a calculator, button clicks produce event objects that are processed by action listeners, which subsequently execute the appropriate logic to perform operations like addition or subtraction, displaying the results in real-time .

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) are both used in Java networking, but they serve different purposes. TCP is connection-oriented and ensures reliable data transmission, meaning it guarantees the delivery of packets in the correct order and checks for errors. This makes it suitable for applications where data integrity is crucial, but potentially slower due to overhead in maintaining connections. In contrast, UDP is connection-less and does not guarantee delivery, order, or integrity of packets, which can lead to errors or loss of data. However, UDP's lack of overhead makes it faster and preferable for applications where speed is more critical than reliability, such as streaming services .
