Q

Apex classes: What is the difference between:

  1. public virtual myClass
  2. public abstract myClass
A 
1. Apex supports virtual classes and methods. use "extend" to subclass a virtual class.
Note, methods derived from a virtual class can be overridden, but doesn't have to be.
2. Apex supports abstract classes. Methods are defined, but implemented in the subclass.
Note, methods derived from an abstract class must be overridden.

Q

Apex classes: What is the difference between:

  1. public with sharing myClass
  2. public without sharing myClass
A
  1. With sharing or user context limits the code to access the records that the user executing the code has access to - respects the sharing model.
  2. Without sharing or system context - default - allows the code to access all records. - ignores the sharing model.

True/False:

  1. Only classes that are extending from virtual or abstract classes can use super
  2. You can only use super in methods that are designated with the override keyword.
A
  1. True

2. True

23
Q

What does the final keyword mean?

A

Constants that are defined using the final keyword can be assigned at most once, either in the declaration itself or with a static initializer method if the constant is defined in a class.

24
Q

What is a statement in Apex?

A

Any coded instruction that performs an action. I.E. Loops, Locking, DML calls, Transaction Control etc.

25
Q

True/False: Classes with @isTest annotation can only contain test methods.

A

True

26
Q

What is the advantage of having a separate class for testing?

A

Classes defined with @isTest doesn’t count against the limits.
Note, you can also add the @isTest annotation to methods inside normal classes.

27
Q

True/False: If you update or delete a record in its before trigger, or delete a record in its after trigger, you will receive a runtime error.

A

True.

28
Q

Given the following scenario: You update account A, and the before update trigger of account A inserts contact B, and the after insert trigger of contact B queries for account A and updates it using the DML update statement or database method.
What will happen?

A

runtime error.

You are indirectly updating account A in its before trigger.

29
Q

Mention 3 ways Apex can be invoked.

A
  1. Anonymous block.
  2. A trigger invoked for specified events.
  3. Asynchronous Apex by executing a future method, scheduling an Apex class to run at specified intervals, or running a batch job.
  4. Apex Web Services, which allow exposing your methods via SOAP and REST Web services.
  5. Apex Email Service to process inbound email.
  6. Visualforce controllers, which contain logic in Apex for Visualforce pages.
  7. The Ajax toolkit to invoke Web service methods implemented in Apex.
30
Q

True/False: To handle incoming emails two tasks must be performed. 1. Create an Apex class that implements an interface for the Emails. 2. Setup and enable the interface through the Email Services Page.

A

True

31
Q

Which interface must be implemented when implementing an inbound email service?

A

Messaging.IndboundEmailHandler

32
Q

What can be the cause of the message: MASS_MAIL_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.

A

The limit is hit either by sending to many emails in one transaction or by sending to many emails during a day.

33
Q

What does the following two methods in the Messaging.sendEmailMessage do:

  1. setDocumentAttachments
  2. setFileAttachments
A

Both are options to add an attachment to emails generated by Apex code.

34
Q

True/False: VisualForce email templates can be used for mass email.

A

False.

35
Q

True/False: Salesforce.com can track the status of emails in HTML format, including when it wass sent, first opened and last opened.

A

True

Note, called Tracking HTML Email

36
Q

What does the following line do:

Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

A

Instantiates an email object for sending a single email message.

37
Q

What does the following line do:

Messaging.MassEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.MassEmailMessage();

A

Instantiates an email object for sending a mass email message.

38
Q

What are the parameters in the following method to send an email:
Messaging.sendEmail(
1 - new messaging.Email[] {mail} ,
2 -opt_allOrNone);

A
  1. Either Messaging.SingleEmailMessage or Messaging.MassEmailMessage.
  2. Specifies whether the operation allows partial success - if false and a record fails, the remainder of the DML operation can still succeed.

A

True

40
Q

41
Q

Dynamic Apex enables developers to create more flexible application by providing them with the ability to do two things, which?

A
  1. Access sObject and field describe information.

2. Write dynamic SOQL or SOSL queries.

42
Q

True/False: sObjects describe information provides information about individual records of an object.

A

False.

It provides information about objects in an organization, not individual records.

43
Q

True/False: The limits methods return the specific limit for the context in which they are being executed.

A

True.

44

  2. One to return the total amount of the resource that is available for that context.
45
Q

True/False: In the following code the string MsgTxt is not written to the debug log.
System.LoggingLevel level = LogginLevel.ERROR
System.debug(logginlevel.INFO, ‘MsgTxt’);

Since the logging level is set to Error, only debug calls with the logginglevel ERROR is shown. However if the logging level was higher, I.E. FINER all debug calls lower than FINER would show in the logs.

46
Q

True/False: During deployment to production, Salesforce enforces the following rules.

  1. 75% of Apex statements must be executed by tests.
  2. Every Apex trigger must be have some test coverage, even though every line of every trigger does not have to be executed by a test.
  3. Every Apex test must execute without throwing any uncaught exceptions or exceeding governors.
A
  1. True
  2. True
  3. True
47
Q

True/False: Cascading delete operations do not cause triggers to execute - records that did not initiate a delete do not cause triggers to execute.

A

True.

48
Q

A

False.

createdDate, lastUpdated, Id - some Fields on standard objects.

49
Q

A

False.

Update and Delete Triggers.

50
Q

What does theTrigger Context Variable Size contain?

A

The total number of records in a trigger invocation, both old and new.

51

Returns true if the current context for the Apex code is a trigger, not a Visualforce page, a Web service, or an executeanonymous() API call

52
