Difference between Apache Server and Apache Tomcat

Apache is an HTTP server and Tomcat is a container .
So Apache server can serve the  requests which are static in nature while Tomcat can serve the request which are dynamic. So if the pages are served in JSP/SERVLET then we have to use Tomcat container to interpret them.
Similarly, if you will be using PHP then you need to add its support in Webserver.Webserver is used to just respond to the requests with feature such as load balancing, whereas containers( such as Tomcat) are used to manage the lifecycle of the pages generated using JSP and servlet.

WHY JAVA DOES NOT HAVE POINTERS ................................................................................................................. Well, it's debatable whether Java does or doesn't support pointers.Some would say that everything (well, every reference type) in Java is a pointer -- hence, the ever-familiar NullPointerException. But certainly, these reference types do not give one the sort of direct interaction with memory that we're familiar with from pointers in. Instead, all objects are handled by references, not to be confused with pointers or C++ references. The difference is that Java references do not refer directly to the memory location , but rather contain the pointer to the actual memory location, which the programmer cannot get direct access to. It is also true that pointers are dangerous and lead to memory leaks, memory corruption, invalid memory access, e.g. from uninitialized and improperly initialized variables, indexing out of bounds, a...

Arrays.sort() and Collections.sort() NullPointerException

While sorting an array by using Arrays.sort()  or using Collections.sort() for sorting a list you can encounter a NPE (NullPointerException) . You might be thinking what went wrong ? So one of element in the array which have been  passed for sorting contains the null element. Similar with the list case also .So check for a null entry in your array or list before passing to these methods as parameter. Example 1 : String[] strarr={"abc", "def" , null}; Arrays.sort(strarr); Output 1: -------- Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at java.lang.String.compareTo(String.java:1167) at java.lang.String.compareTo(String.java:92) at java.util.Arrays.mergeSort(Arrays.java:1144) at java.util.Arrays.sort(Arrays.java:1079) at Test.main(Test.java:7) Example 2: List strlist=new ArrayList (); strlist.add("abc"); strlist.add("def"); strlist.add(null); Collections.sort(strlist); Output 2: ---------- ...
