Multiple Answer Multiple Choice

Which two method calls using the ServletContext interface will facilitate access to a file named kaplandata.bin stored in the /doc-root/kaplan/docs directory? (Choose two.)

1. getURL(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”)
2. getResource(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”)
3. getAttribute(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”)
4. getServletContextName(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”)
5. getResourceAsStream(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”)

Answer:
B. getResource(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”)
E. getResourceAsStream(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”)

Tutorial:
The getResource(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”) method call will return a URL to a file named kaplandata.bin stored in the /doc-root/kaplan/docs directory. The getResource(java.lang.String path) method of the ServletContext interface returns a java.net.URL object. The getResourceAsStream(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”) method call will facilitate access to the /doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin file. The getResourceAsStream(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”) method call will return the /doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin file as a java.io.InputStream object.

The getURL(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”) method call is incorrect because the ServletContext interface does not have a getURL method.

The getAttribute(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”) method call will not facilitate access to a file named kaplandata.bin stored in the /doc-root/kaplan/docs directory. The getAttribute(java.lang.String name) method returns the attribute associated with the specified name.

The getServletContextName(“/doc-root/kaplan/docs/kaplandata.bin”) method call will not facilitate access to a file named kaplandata.bin stored in the /doc-root/kaplan/docs directory. The getServletContextName method returns the name of the Web application associated with the ServletContext object as specified in the deployment descriptor.
