Consider another carelessly written Web application, which uses a servlet that checks if there was an active session, but does not check if the user is authorized to access that page, instead depending on the fact that a link to the page is shown only to authorized users. What is the risk with this scheme? (There was a real instance where applicants to a college admissions site could, after logging into the Web site, exploit this loophole and view information they were not authorized to see; the unauthorized access was however detected, and those who accessed the information were punished by being denied admission.)

Subject : Object Orieted Programming Language Java Netbeans Q: You have been approached by a client to automate inter college event management. The main purpose of this project is to simplify the process of handling each event by providing a web interface for admin, teacher and students.

Write a MultiThreaded ServerSocket Program in C# that can handle multiple clients at the same time. a C# Server Socket use TcpListener Class and listen to PORT 9393. When the C# Server Socket gets a request from Client side, the Server passes the instance of the client request to a separate class handleClient. For each Client request, there is a new thread instant is created in C# Server for separate communication with Client.
WIMP displays are used on computers. Typical tasks are linked to real-world actions in most WIMP installations, which employ a Desktop metaphor. As an example, you can drag a file into a folder or filing cabinet by picking it up and doing so. In the actual world, what are two instances of these acts?
Write down a Java program that runs 5 threads. Each of these threads generates a random number between 300 and 500. Design the program in such a manner that, the main thread waits until other threads are finished, calculates out the multiplication and sum of the generated random numbers and print the result. To design this program, implement a runnable class that randomizes a number and store it in a member field.
