How we can use a class defined inside an interface?

public interface abc
{
static int i=0; void dd();
class a1
{
a1()
{
int j;
System.out.println("inside");
};
public static void main(String a1[])
{
System.out.println("in interfia");
}
}
}

A class is defined inside an interface to bind the interface to a TYPE.

A small but nonsense example:

interface employee{
class Role{
public String rollname;
public int Role id;
public Object person;
}
Role getRole();
// other methods
}

In the above interface you are binding the Role type strongly to the employee interface(employee.Role).

One more reason is to have modifiable data within an interface(As you may know all fields in an interface are implicitly final). By declaring a class inside the interface you can have common MODIFIABLE data.

public interface abc{
static int i=0; void dd();
class a1{
private int a1;
int getA1(){
return a1;
}
int setA1(int a){
a1 = a;
}
}
a1Instance a1Ins = new a1Instance();
}

Asynchronous Vs. Synchronous Communications

Synchronous (One thread):   1 thread -> |<---A---->||<----B---------->||<------C----->| Synchronous (multi-threaded):   thread A -> |<---A---->| \ thread B ------------> ->|<----B---------->| \ thread C ----------------------------------> ->|<------C----->|

WebSphere MQ Interview Questions

What is MQ and what does it do? Ans. MQ stands for MESSAGE QUEUEING. WebSphere MQ allows application programs to use message queuing to participate in message-driven processing. Application programs can communicate across different platforms by using the appropriate message queuing software products. What is Message driven process? Ans . When messages arrive on a queue, they can automatically start an application using triggering. If necessary, the applications can be stopped when the message (or messages) have been processed. What are advantages of the MQ? Ans. 1. Integration. 2. Asynchrony 3. Assured Delivery 4. Scalability. How does it support the Integration? Ans. Because the MQ is independent of the Operating System you use i.e. it may be Windows, Solaris,AIX.It is independent of the protocol (i.e. TCP/IP, LU6.2, SNA, NetBIOS, UDP).It is not required that both the sender and receiver should be running on the same platform What is Asynchrony? Ans. With messag...

Advantages & Disadvantages of Synchronous / Asynchronous Communications?

  Asynchronous Communication Advantages: Requests need not be targeted to specific server. Service need not be available when request is made. No blocking, so resources could be freed.  Could use connectionless protocol Disadvantages: Response times are unpredictable. Error handling usually more complex.  Usually requires connection-oriented protocol.  Harder to design apps Synchronous Communication Advantages: Easy to program Outcome is known immediately  Error recovery easier (usually)  Better real-time response (usually) Disadvantages: Service must be up and ready. Requestor blocks, held resources are “tied up”.  Usually requires connection-oriented protocol
