How Israel Rules The World Of Cyber Security

Java Basics

class  is  design  to specify the  attributes  and   behavior of  object .Attributes of an object are implemented using
variables and the behaviors of  an  object  are implemented using methods

## Variables --    instance  variables  , instance  attributes
                             Store state of an object .
                             each object  has its own copy of instance variable .Define  inside  class  and  outside all  methods .
                   
                             class variable , static variable - Single copy of  variable is  shared  among  all objects .
                   
                   
##  Methods   --   instance methods , are manipulate instance  variables
                             class methods , static  methods  , are can be  used  to  manipulate static methods
                   
##  Constructors -- used to create and initialize objects of a class                    

##  Packages  --  allows  to  group together a related set  of classes and  interfaces .
                            package  names , should  be  in  lower case
               
##  Import    --  import statement doesn't embed the content of  the  imported class  in  our  class .So  importing more classes
                  doesn't  increase size of our  class .
                  when importing  multiple classes  with  same  name
                 
                  java.util.Date date1 ;
                  java.sql.Date  date2 ;
                 
##  access modifiers - control accessibility of  class and its members outside the class and package .
##  non access modifier - changes  default  behavior of  class  and  its  members .
    abstract , static , final , synchronized , native , strictfp , transient , volatile

## final modifier can't be used with the declaration of an interface.
   class that is marked final can't be extended by another class .
   final variable can't  be reassigned a value . It can be assigned a value only once.
  
   If a reference variable is defined as a final variable ,we can 't  reassign another object to it .
   But we can call methods on this variable (that modify its state)
  
   final method defined in a base class can't be overridden by a derived class .
  
## static variables belong to  a class .
   They 're common to  all instances of  class and aren't unique to any instance of  a class.
   static attributes exist independently of any instances of  a class and may be accessed even when no instances
   of the class have been created

   static methods aren't associated with objects and can't use any  of the instance variables
   of  a class.
  
   It  is common practice to use static methods to define utility methods , which are methods that usually
   manipulate the method parameters to compute and return appropriate value.
  
        static double interest (double num1 , double num2 , double num3){
            return (num1 + num2)
        }
  
  
   static  final  int variableConstantName = 6;

String of Java

• String  is immutable in Java. An immutable class is simply a class whose instances cannot be modified. All information in an instance is initialized when the instance is created and the information can not be modified. In  fact none  of methods defined in the String class modify  the object's own value . They all create new String objects.

                            ex :-    String   newString  =  "Game" ;
                                       newString.replace('a', 'A');
                                       System.out.println(newString) ; // Will print Game  
 
                 Due to strings  are immutable  we  can achieve

• Security             - String is widely used as a parameter for many java classes, e.g. network connection, opening files, etc. Were String not immutable, a connection or file would be changed and this can lead to a serious security threat. The method thought it was connecting to one machine, but was not. Mutable strings could cause a security problem in Reflection too, as the parameters are strings.
• Safe in threads   - immutable objects can not be changed, they can be shared among multiple threads freely.

           

•  String Pool  -  When  string  is  created  and  if  the  string already existing in the  pool  without  using  key  word  new  ,then reference of  existing  string will  be  return , instead of  creating  new object.  

  ex :-   String  newStingOne =  "ABAC" ;

            String  newStingTwo =  "ABAC" ;  

  Above code will create only one string object in the heap.

• If a string is going to remain constant throughout the program, then use String class object because a String object is immutable.                                                                                                                                                                     You should use StringBuilder class when we  have larger strings or modifying the  contents of a string  often .Doing that will  increase   performance.If a string can change (example: lots of logic and operations in the construction of the string) and will only be accessed from a single thread, using a StringBuilder is good enough.                                 If a string can change, and will be accessed from multiple threads, use a StringBuffer because StringBuffer is synchronous so you have thread-safety.
• Class StringBuffer  provides  same functionality  StringBuilder  provides  minus the additional feature of synchronized methods

Why Your Attitude Is More Important Than Your IQ Extracted from Linkdin

Why Your Attitude Is More Important Than Your IQ

Dr. Travis Bradberry Influencer

When it comes to success, it’s easy to think that people blessed with brains are inevitably going to leave the rest of us in the dust. But new research from Stanford University will change your mind (and your attitude).
Psychologist Carol Dweck has spent her entire career studying attitude and performance, and her latest study shows that your attitude is a better predictor of your success than your IQ.
Dweck found that people’s core attitudes fall into one of two categories: a fixed mindset or a growth mindset.
With a fixed mindset, you believe you are who you are and you cannot change. This creates problems when you’re challenged because anything that appears to be more than you can handle is bound to make you feel hopeless and overwhelmed.
People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. They outperform those with a fixed mindset, even when they have a lower IQ, because they embrace challenges, treating them as opportunities to learn something new.

Common sense would suggest that having ability, like being smart, inspires confidence. It does, but only while the going is easy. The deciding factor in life is how you handle setbacks and challenges. People with a growth mindset welcome setbacks with open arms.
According to Dweck, success in life is all about how you deal with failure. She describes the approach to failure of people with the growth mindset this way,

“Failure is information—we label it failure, but it’s more like, ‘This didn’t work, and I’m a problem solver, so I’ll try something else.’”

Regardless of which side of the chart you fall on, you can make changes and develop a growth mindset. What follows are some strategies that will fine-tune your mindset and help you make certain it’s as growth oriented as possible.
Don’t stay helpless. We all hit moments when we feel helpless. The test is how we react to that feeling. We can either learn from it and move forward or let it drag us down. There are countless successful people who would have never made it if they had succumbed to feelings of helplessness: Walt Disney was fired from the Kansas City Star because he “lacked imagination and had no good ideas,” Oprah Winfrey was fired from her job as a TV anchor in Baltimore for being “too emotionally invested in her stories,” Henry Ford had two failed car companies prior to succeeding with Ford, and Steven Spielberg was rejected by USC’s Cinematic Arts School multiple times. Imagine what would have happened if any of these people had a fixed mindset. They would have succumbed to the rejection and given up hope. People with a growth mindset don’t feel helpless because they know that in order to be successful, you need to be willing to fail hard and then bounce right back.
Be passionate. Empowered people pursue their passions relentlessly. There’s always going to be someone who’s more naturally talented than you are, but what you lack in talent, you can make up for in passion. Empowered people’s passion is what drives their unrelenting pursuit of excellence. Warren Buffet recommends finding your truest passions using, what he calls, the 5/25 technique: Write down the 25 things that you care about the most. Then, cross out the bottom 20. The remaining 5 are your true passions. Everything else is merely a distraction.
Take action. It’s not that people with a growth mindset are able to overcome their fears because they are braver than the rest of us; it’s just that they know fear and anxiety are paralyzing emotions and that the best way to overcome this paralysis is to take action. People with a growth mindset are empowered, and empowered people know that there’s no such thing as a truly perfect moment to move forward. So why wait for one? Taking action turns all your worry and concern about failure into positive, focused energy.
Then go the extra mile (or two). Empowered people give it their all, even on their worst days. They’re always pushing themselves to go the extra mile. One of Bruce Lee’s pupils ran three miles every day with him. One day, they were about to hit the three-mile mark when Bruce said, “Let’s do two more.” His pupil was tired and said, “I’ll die if I run two more.” Bruce’s response? “Then do it.” His pupil became so angry that he finished the full five miles. Exhausted and furious, he confronted Bruce about his comment, and Bruce explained it this way: “Quit and you might as well be dead. If you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there; you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.”
If you aren’t getting a little bit better each day, then you’re most likely getting a little worse—and what kind of life is that?
Expect results. People with a growth mindset know that they’re going to fail from time to time, but they never let that keep them from expecting results. Expecting results keeps you motivated and feeds the cycle of empowerment. After all, if you don’t think you’re going to succeed, then why bother?
Be flexible. Everyone encounters unanticipated adversity. People with an empowered, growth-oriented mindset embrace adversity as a means for improvement, as opposed to something that holds them back. When an unexpected situation challenges an empowered person, they flex until they get results.
Don't complain when things don't go your way. Complaining is an obvious sign of a fixed mindset. A growth mindset looks for opportunity in everything, so there’s no room for complaints.

Bringing It All Together

By keeping track of how you respond to the little things, you can work every day to keep yourself on the right side of the chart above.
Do you have a growth mindset? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below as I learn just as much from you as you do from me.

Spring MVC Framework and REST

Understanding REST

Since Spring Framework is the most popular and the standard framework for developing Java web application and RESTful Web Services.

While the traditional MVC controller relies on the View technology, the RESTful web service controller simply returns the object and the object data is written directly to the HTTP response as JSON/XML.
REST (Representational State Transfer) was introduced and defined in 2000 by Roy . REST is an architectural style for designing distributed systems. It is not a standard but a set of constraints, such as being stateless, having a client/server relationship, and a uniform interface. REST is not strictly related to HTTP, but it is most commonly associated with it

Principles of REST

• Resources expose easily understood directory structure URIs.
• Representations transfer JSON or XML to represent data objects and attributes.
• Messages use HTTP methods explicitly (for example, GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE).
• Stateless interactions store no client context on the server between requests. State dependencies limit and restrict scalability. The client holds session state.

HTTP methods

Use HTTP methods to map CRUD (create, retrieve, update, delete) operations to HTTP requests.

• GET     -    @RequestingMapping (method =  RequestMethod.GET)         or     @RequestingMapping ("/topics")
• POST   -    @RequestingMapping (method =  RequestMethod.POST   ,  value = "/topics")
• PUT     -    @RequestingMapping (method =  RequestMethod.PUT)
• DELETE  -    @RequestingMapping (method =  RequestMethod.DELETE)

HTTP Verb	CRUD	Entire Collection (e.g. /customers)	Specific Item (e.g. /customers/{id})
POST	Create	201 (Created), 'Location' header with link to /customers/{id} containing new ID.	404 (Not Found), 409 (Conflict) if resource already exists..
GET	Read	200 (OK), list of customers. Use pagination, sorting and filtering to navigate big lists.	200 (OK), single customer. 404 (Not Found), if ID not found or invalid.
PUT	Update/Replace	405 (Method Not Allowed), unless you want to update/replace every resource in the entire collection.	200 (OK) or 204 (No Content). 404 (Not Found), if ID not found or invalid.
PATCH	Update/Modify	405 (Method Not Allowed), unless you want to modify the collection itself.	200 (OK) or 204 (No Content). 404 (Not Found), if ID not found or invalid.
DELETE	Delete	405 (Method Not Allowed), unless you want to delete the whole collection—not often desirable.	200 (OK). 404 (Not Found), if ID not found or invalid.

HTTP status codes

Status codes indicate the result of the HTTP request.

• 1XX - informational
• 2XX - success
• 3XX - redirection
• 4XX - client error
• 5XX - server error

Using the @ResponseBody Annotation

When you use the @ResponseBody annotation on a method, Spring converts the return value and writes it to the http response automatically. Each method in the Controller class must be annotated with @ResponseBody.

Behind the Scenes

Spring has a list of HttpMessageConverters registered in the background. The responsibility of the HTTPMessageConverter is to convert the request body to a specific class and back to the response body again, depending on a predefined mime type. Every time an issued request hits @ResponseBody, Spring loops through all registered HTTPMessageConverters seeking the first that fits the given mime type and class, and then uses it for the actual conversion.

Using the @RestController Annotation

Spring 4.0 introduced @RestController, a specialized version of the controller which is a convenience annotation that does nothing more than add the @Controller and @ResponseBody annotations. By annotating the controller class with @RestController annotation, you no longer need to add @ResponseBody to all the request mapping methods. The @ResponseBody annotation is active by default.
