What is abstract window toolkit (AWT)? Present AWT class hierarchy showing all components and containers.

-

 Java AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) is an API to develop GUI or application in java. Java AWT components are platform-dependent i.e. components displayed according to the view of the operating system. AWT is heavyweight i.e. its components use the resources of the system. Actually, AWT calls native platform (Operating system subroutine for creating components such as textbox, checkbox, button, etc. For example, if we an instantiating a text box in AWT that means we are actually asking OS to create a text box for you. This is the reason why AWT components look different on different operating systems. simple, an application built on AWT would look like a windows application when it runs Windows, but the same application would look like a Mac application when runs on Mac OS.

AWT CLASSES

The java.awt package provides classes for AWT API such as TextField, Label, TextArea RadioButton, CheckBox, Choice, List, etc. AWT is rarely used nowadays because of its platform-dependent and heavy-weight nature. The java.awt package contains the core AWT graphic classes:

  • GUI Component classes (such as Button, TextField, and Label)
  • GUI Container classes (such as Frame, Panel, Dialog and ScrollPane)
  • Layout managers (such as FlowLayout, BorderLayout and GridLayout)
  • Event Handling Classes (such as AWTEvent, AWTEventMultiCaster)
  • Custom graphics classes (such as Graphics, Color and Font).

The ultimate superclass of all the GUI components both in AWT as well as Swing is the java.awt.Component. The hierarchy of widely used Java AWT classes is given below:

What are different steps used in JDBC? Write down a small program showing all steps.

-
 T he fundamental steps involved in the process of connecting to a database and executing a query consist of the following: Import JDBC packages. Load and register the JDBC driver. Open a connection to the database. Create a statement object to perform a query. Execute the statement object and return a query resultset. Process the resultset. Close the resultset and statement objects. Close the connection. These steps are described in detail in the sections that follow. 1. Import JDBC Packages This is for making the JDBC API classes immediately available to the application program. The following import statement should be included in the program irrespective of the JDBC driver being used: import java.sql.*; Additionally, depending on the features being used, Oracle-supplied JDBC packages might need to be imported. For example, the following packages might need to be imported while using the Oracle extensions to JDBC such as using advanced data types such as BLOB, and so on. import o...

Explain Parallel Efficiency of MapReduce.

 PARALLEL EFFICIENCY OF MAP-REDUCE It is worth trying to figure out what is the parallel efficiency of MapReduce. Now let us assume that the data produced after the map phase is σ times the original data size D (σD), further, we assume that there are P processors which in turn perform map and reduce operations depending on which phase they are used in, so we do not have any wastage of processors. Also, the algorithm itself is assumed to do wD useful work, w is not necessarily a constant it could be D^2 or something like that, but the point is that there is some amount of useful work being done even if you have a single processor and that's wD. Now let us look at the overheads of doing the computation wD using MapReduce. After the map operation, instead of D data items, we have σD data items in P pieces, so each mapper writes data to their local disk. So, P there is some overhead associated with writing this data. Next, this data has to be read by each reducer before it can begin ...

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

  b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed are: 1. Roll-up on date from date id to year. 2. Roll-up on spectator from spectator id to status. 3. Roll-up on location from location id to location name. 4. Roll-up on the game from game id to all. 5. Dice with status= “students”, location name= “GM Place”, and year=2004
