Interview at Progress Software

I have given a lot of interviews before however, this one was special. Let me start from the beginning. I got a call from Progress Software and was scheduled for the first telephonic discussion. Next day, I got a call from HR and she asked me questions on Java and a few basic puzzles.  After clearing the previous round, I got scheduled for the second telephonic interview. This interview covered Java, design-related problems and algorithms. After a week, I got a call from the HR for the onsite interviews in Hyderabad. This is the first time I googled about Progress Software. I said yes for the onsite interviews. Journey to onsite started not as planned after my flight got delayed. Because of fog-related delay in Delhi, I reached the PSI (Progress Software India) office couple of hours late.  HR introduced me to the first interviewer. The interviewer explained the first round. It was a coding round (I am not a big fan of coding rounds), the problem was well expl

java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

I am able to fix the problem via setting the following params on the HTTPClient class... client.getParams().setParameter("http.socket.timeout", new Integer(0)); client.getParams().setParameter("http.connection.stalecheck", new Boolean(true)); java.net.SocketException: Connection reset at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(Unknown Source) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.fill(Unknown Source) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpParser.readRawLine(HttpParser.java:77) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpParser.readLine(HttpParser.java:105) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.readLine(HttpConnection.java:1115) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.readStatusLine(HttpMethodBase.java:1832) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.readResponse(HttpMethodBase.java:1590) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.execute(

New in Dolphin - Java 7

With Dolphin java introduced cool new features like: 1. Strings in “switch” block      switch(s) {           case “Apple”:           // do something;           case “Orange”:           // do something;           default :      }      2. <> (Diamond) operator – Type inference for generic instance creation E.g List > list = new ArrayList>(); vis-à-vis List > list = new ArrayList <> (); Empty diamond braces is required and it's not a typo :).      3. Single Catch for multiple Exceptions with "|" operator           try {           // Reflective operations calling Class.forName,           // Class.newInstance, Class.getMethod, Method.invoke, etc.      } catch (final ClassNotFoundException |      InstantiationException | NoSuchMethodException |      InvocationTargetException e) {           log(e)           throw e;      }      4. Also in Java 7, this will work      public void rethrowException(String exceptionName) throw
