3 :: If i learn Java, what kind of applications can i create that will help Banking, Retail, Hotel, Logistics industry?

When learned the java with the advanced concepts ,the
application can be created for all the domain.Using the
J2EE will be more friendly and efficiency in the code
maintenance, since part of the code will be from the
framework

4 :: What is difference between object state and behavior?

If you change the state of an object, you ask it to perform
a behavior. An object stores its states in a field e.g.
variables, and demonstrates its behavior through methods.

5 :: Can we have more than one action servlet?

yes you can have and if you specify different url patter
like
*.do for one action servlet
*.abc for other action servlet
in your web.xml file

6 :: Why use a datasource when you can directly specify a connection details? (in a J2EE application)?

Because, it would be really difficult to specify the connection details in every method that access the database. Instead, if we create a data source, it can be used to connect to the database in every method we want.

7 :: If I define a method in JSP scriplet <%..%>, where will it go after translation into a servlet?

It will give compilation error. In order to define a method
in JSP, it should be defined in the JSP declarations <%!..%
>, and it can be called in the JSP expression.
On translation, the method will be added outside all
methods in the servlet class.

8 :: How will the struts know which action class to call when you submit a form?

struts-config.xml in this file.
under the tag <type> absolute path of Action class
under the tag <name> name of the action form class
Both of this will be called when the desired action
mentioned under the <path> tag will be called and
struts-config.xml will call action class mentioned in the
<type> tag and also populate the fields of form class
mentioned under <name> tag.

9 :: Will it be called overriding if I do not change the parameters or return type, instead throw a different exception in the method signature?

yes, you will be overriding to throw a different exception

10 :: Does Java pass arguments by value or reference?

Pass by value.
1. When passing primitives, it passes a copy of the
variable to the method. Any change made in the method does
not reflect in the calling method.
2. When dealing with objects, a copy of their
reference/address is passed. Thus the change made to the
object is reflected in the calling method.
