2)Does Swing is thread-safe?

Ans : No, Java Swing components are not thread-safe in Java.

 One of the main reason for Java Swing is not thread-safe is to simplify the task of
extending its components.
Another reason for the JRegarding the case where an applet is loaded from the client’s
local disk, the applet is loaded by the file system loader. Applets loaded via the file
system are allowed to read files, write files and to load libraries on the client. Also,
applets loaded via the file system are allowed to execute processes and finally,
applets loaded via the file system are not passed through the byte code verifier.

8)What is the applet class loader, and what does it provide ?

When an applet is loaded over the internet, the applet is loaded by the applet
classloader. The class loader enforces the Java name space hierarchy. Also, the class
loader guarantees that a unique namespace exists for classes that come from the
local file system, and that a unique namespace exists for each network source. When
a browser loads an applet over the net, that applet’s classes are placed in a private
namespace associated with the applet’s origin.

9) What is the applet security manager, and what does it provide ?

The applet security manager is a mechanism to impose restrictions on Java applets. A


browser may only have one security manager. The security manager is established at
startup, and it cannot thereafter be replaced, overloaded, overridden, or extended.

10) How do you set security in applets?

using setSecurityManager() method

11) How will you communicate between two appltes?

java.applet.AppletContext class provides the facility of communication between


applets.

12) What is the sequence of interpretation, compilation of a java applet?

 ava Swing is not thread-safe due to the overhead involved in obtaining and
releasing locks and restoring the state.
 Some of the Java Swing component methods will support multi-threaded access
like repaint(), revalidate(), and invalidate() methods of JComponent class.
4)Why Swing components are called lightweight components?
Ans : It is a lightweight component because it will not depend on any native system
class.
5)What is the difference between invokeAndWait and invokeLater?
Ans : Main difference between invokeAndWait() and invokeLater()
is invokeAndWait() keeps the code on to event thread and waits till the execution of
run method is completed whereas invokeLater() keeps the code on event thread and
runs the rest of code in the thread.
