Java Interview Q&A for AEM Developers (3 Years Experience)

Q: What is the difference between `==` and `.equals()`?

A: `==` compares object references; `.equals()` compares object values.

Q: What’s the difference between `List`, `Set`, and `Map`?

A: `List`: Ordered, allows duplicates.

`Set`: Unordered, no duplicates.

`Map`: Key-value pairs, keys are unique.

Q: What is a `HashMap`? How does it work?

A: `HashMap` stores key-value pairs using hash codes. Handles collisions via LinkedList

or Tree (Java 8+).

Q: Difference between `ArrayList` and `LinkedList`?

A: `ArrayList` is faster for indexing; `LinkedList` is better for insert/delete operations.

Q: What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface?

A: Interfaces can't have state, support multiple inheritance. Abstract classes can have

state and method implementations.

Q: What is method overloading vs. overriding?

A: Overloading: same method name, different params.

Overriding: subclass redefines superclass method.

Q: What is encapsulation?

A: Hiding internal state using private fields and accessing them via getters/setters.

Q: What is a lambda expression?

A: Shorthand for implementing functional interfaces.

Example: `(a, b) -> a + b`

Q: What is `Optional` in Java?


A: Container to avoid `NullPointerException`. Example:

`Optional.ofNullable(obj).ifPresent(System.out::println)`

Q: What is the Stream API?

A: Processes collections functionally. E.g., `list.stream().filter().collect()`

Q: Difference between `map()` and `flatMap()`?

A: `map()` transforms values, `flatMap()` flattens nested structures.

Q: Checked vs Unchecked exceptions?

A: Checked: checked at compile-time (IOException).

Unchecked: RuntimeException.

Q: What is `try-with-resources`?

A: Auto-closes resources that implement AutoCloseable.

Q: How are collections used in Sling Models?

A: `@ValueMapValue` injects List/Map from JCR properties.

Q: How do you use `Optional` in Sling Models?

A: `Optional.ofNullable(resource.getValueMap().get("title", String.class))`

Q: How do you filter a list using Streams?

A: `list.stream().filter(e -> e != null).collect(Collectors.toList())`

Q: What is Singleton pattern?

A: Ensures one instance. OSGi services in AEM behave like Singletons.

Q: What is Dependency Injection?

A: Objects are injected instead of created inside a class. Used via `@Inject`,

`@OSGiService` in AEM.

Q: What is `final`, `finally`, and `finalize()`?

A: `final`: prevents changes.


`finally`: always runs.

`finalize()`: called before GC (deprecated).

Q: Difference between `Comparable` and `Comparator`?

A: `Comparable`: natural order inside the class.

`Comparator`: external/custom ordering.
