Keep it as ...Hi Sancho, thanks for read this blog.<br /><br />Keep it as simple as possible it's the way to go; JSF and JSPs does the work, so I think you could use one or the other without any change in the final score, just take a look of the assignment, if they're asking you to create "complex" screens then use JSF because it's easier, (Complex such as "Forms", "Reports", etc.) if they want to print some messages and that's it then use plain jsps,Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985383212473053331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664614986140858201.post-67343311828912460172010-07-13T08:16:16.199-07:002010-07-13T08:16:16.199-07:00Hi Cross,

Those are really valuable.<br /><br />I need some advice from you regarding taking this exam. I have 6 years of development experience in java/j2ee. Also finished executive MBA but I would like to remain on technical path with this business knowledge & newly acquired acumen. Do you think taking this exam will help me to project myself as Enterprise Architect with justifying EMBA.<br /><br />I am confident about my Java knowledge & ability to design system. But not yet much experience in architecting. So am I justifying taking this exam at this stage.<br /><br />Thanks a ton,<br />PrashantPrashantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664614986140858201.post-35968253647397491702009-10-20T11:17:17.840-07:002009-10-20T11:17:17.840-07:00Thank you very much once again.
After reading you...Thank you very much once again.<br /><br />After reading your answers I think that the "Assigment<br />Objectives" in the official page are far to explain well all subjects<br />included in the exam. It's easier thanks to people like you.<br /><br />I've seen the book "Enterprise<br />Integration Patterns by Gregor Hohpe" in recommended resources from Javaranch for JMS. I know it's a really good book,<br />but do Sun really want me to read it for SCEA exam? In fact that book is not concerned about different<br />layers in an application, but integrating different applications.<br /><br />Please, another question: they may ask me about EJB life cycle, right?<br />And may they ask about JSF life cycle too?<br /><br />And the last one, about exam PART1: I've read about some recommended resources for SCEA exams, but the only one that doesn't seem to be obsolete is the JEE5 Guide. Is there any other? (for example I've just finished reading Mark Cade's Study Guide and it's very out of date to be used for the SCEA 5)<br /><br />Thank you very much again.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760319004895086903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664614986140858201.post-1716575196480550442009-10-19T08:30:57.531-07:002009-10-19T08:30:57.531-07:00Hey Antonio, glad to see here!
Nice questions!, l...Hey Antonio, glad to see here!<br /><br />Nice questions!, let me try to answer them:<br /><br />1º Do I have to study internationalization and protocols?<br />R/ I think you should know how to implement it, and how to design the solution to be adaptable for any other country, but they will not required from you to put code or something like that. Must of the test must consider internationalization, but you could solve the problem with a ResourceBundle and that's it.<br /><br />2º What about applets, and Java WebStart?<br /><br />Yes, that's an important part of the test, as Architect you should know if you are using a gun to put a nail or you use a hammer for the same work, I mean, if you try to solve a very simple solution (Hello World) with a MVC, Session Beans, Facades, entities etc, you are going to face a problem. if you see that the solution is faily simple and you could solve it with an Applet then you should mention it.<br /><br />3º What should I know about JSF? For example, they may ask about when to use it. Well, when should I answer it's better not to use JSF? I guess people from Sun will say to use it always :)<br /><br />Hehe, the people from Sun expects that you solve the problem in the simplest way, off course, you should cover all the things about security, extensibility, etc., as advice you must follow the K.I.S.S. principle.<br /><br />Hope this solve your questions, if not just let me know.Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985383212473053331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664614986140858201.post-44060522815180851332009-10-19T08:14:12.631-07:002009-10-19T08:14:12.631-07:00Hello Juan Pablo, I'm Antonio Fornié.
