2.A stock trading company is writing a new application for stock market forecasting. A significant portion of the work required by the business logic involves navigating through the persistent object model. As lead architect on this project, you have chosen JPA over EJB2 entity beans to implement these persistent objects. You have done this to maximize performance when navigating through the model. Why does JPA offer better performance for this task?
A. JPA guarantees referential integrity at the object level.
B. JPA allows the application to specify lazy or eager retrievals.
C. JPA simplifies the source code that implements the object model.
D. The guaranteed referential integrity in EJB2 entity beans is expensive.
Correct: B

As part of ejb2.0 we are using EntityBeans for to access the database. But as part of ejb3.0 we are using the JPA(Java Persistance API) for to access the database and some portability issues.  EJB2.0 has Deployment descriptors but in EJB3.0 has no Deployment Descriptors. EJB2.0 we have to write Home and Remote Interfaces But in EJB3.0 No need to write Home and remote interfaces.

3.A developer creates a Java web service to be used by consumers in an SOA. This SOA uses a UDDI service registry. How can the developer make the new service available to consumers?

A. deploy to the registry using JAXR
B. publish to the registry using JAXR
C. query the registry using JAXRPC
D. target the registry using JAXRPC

5.You are asked to architect an SOA solution that leverages Java web services. The architecture needs to be flexible and allow for the SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, and REST implementations. Which JavaEE technology should you use?
A.JAXP
B.JAXB
C.JAXWS
D.JAXRPC
Correct: C

The Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) is a Java programming language API for creating web services. It is part of the Java EE platform. Like the other Java EE APIs, JAX-WS uses annotations, introduced in Java SE 5, to simplify the development and deployment of web service clients and endpoints. JAX-WS 2.0 replaced the JAX-RPC API in Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5. The name change reflected the move away from RPC-style and toward document-style web services.

6. You are architecting an online ordering application with these requirements: Users access the system over the Internet using HTML. An email message is sent to the user confirming the order.
Users must log in and are validated using LDAP. The product catalog is stored in a relational database. All orders are logged to the internal fulfillment system. Orders must not be lost.

Which Java EE technology should be used to send orders to the fulfillment system?
A.JNDI
B.JMS
C.JAXWS
D.RMI IIOP

Correct: B

7.An online sporting goods store's web application uses HTTPSession to store shopping carts. When the application is initially deployed, the business plan predicts only a few customers will access the site. Over time, the store projects a steady increase in volume. The deployment plan calls for a single web container in the initial deployment. As demand increases, the plan calls for multiple web containers on separate hardware with clustered HTTPSession objects. Which two principles will help the application meet the requirements and optimize performance? (Choose two.)

A. The application should store as much as possible in HTTPSession objects.
B. The application should NOT make frequent updates to HTTPSession objects.
C. The application should make coarse grained updates to HTTPSession objects.
D. The application should create new HTTPSession objects instead of updating existing objects.

Correct: B C

8.You are writing a utility that searches for existing web services provided by large companies through UDDI. Your web site allows the user to input search criteria using event driven, state managed GUI screens, performs the search, and displays them in a formatted HTML page. Which technologies would you use for this application?

A.JSP and JAXB
B.JSF and JAXR
C.JSF and JAXWS
D.JSP and JAXWS

Correct: B

9.A company has a web service that provides the most recent price for stocks, mutual funds, and commodities. The company has the only web service that allows a person to check prices on all three financial assets with one call. Its system does not store this information but sends individual calls to each of the primary vendors for an asset and then aggregates the response to the requester. The company has committed to support a nonfunctional requirement (NFR) for performance that states it must process all requests within three seconds and each of the three vendors is obligated to support the NFR as dictated by the company.

Where, in the message flow, is it appropriate to measure whether all the NFRs are met?
A. when a request is received and a response is sent to the requester
B. when a request is received, first call to vendor, last response from vendors, response is sent to a requester
C. when a requester sends a request, the request is received, each call to vendor, each response from vendor, requester receives response
D. when a request is received, each call to vendor, each response from a vendor, a response is sent to a requester

Correct: D

28.A travel company is designing an application to allow customers to browse for information on any flights operating domestically and to place new reservations on any of those flights. The company makes the following assumptions: significant read volume, in terms of operations the customers will perform significant overlap, in the search criteria of customers simple processing of each customer browse/update request .

What advice can you give this company?
A. use a two tier architecture (rich client directly accessing the database) because running copies of the business logic in each client provides significant advantages in terms of processing time per request
B. use a three tier architecture (thin client >application server >database) because executing business logic remotely on a central location results in better performance per request
C. use a three tier architecture (thin client >application server >database) because the shared business server allows them to cache information with high likelihood of cache hits, which reduces the load on the database
D. use a two tier architecture (rich client directly accessing the database) because each client can operate on its own business objects, independently of others, which provides significant advantages from reduced latency due to synchronization

Correct: C

29.A company provides call center support for corporations worldwide. Each agent in the call center can be assigned to multiple call center customers. All of the company's customers use Windows based user interfaces and it has just signed a new customer that uses a Java EE backend and wants a rich interface. The company is developing a user interface for the new customer with the following requirements: Customer service representatives (CSRs) must be able to work with minimal training on the application. CSRs must be able to switch between call center systems quickly. Screens must have a Windows "look and feel." 2000 agents spread across four locations must be able to use the system.

What advice would you give this company on the user interface (UI)?

30.A travel company decides to re-architect their two tier application (where each client ran its own copy of the application against a shared database) and hires you as their lead architect. You suggest they re-architect their application as a browser based, three tier solution: presentation, business logic, and persistence. You also suggest they deploy each of the three tiers on its own computer.

Why is the three tier solution more scalable than the two tier solution?
A. Every client runs its own GUI application. Clients do not compete for resources for presentation purposes.
B. Clients share the same business logic tier. Client specific objects can be stored centrally, optimizing access.
C. Every client shares the same business logic tier. Each client competes with each other for resources on that JVM.
D. Clients share the same business logic tier. Duplicate effort can be avoided by sharing objects, reducing the load on the database.

32. You are the architect of a project that will provide an external, low latency, scalable, and highly-available service for handling string transactions. Each request consists of a short string ID and language key, limited to "EN", "FR", "ES", "DE", and "JP". Each response is a simple Unicode string averaging 256 bytes in size, and there will be no more than 50,000 records for each language. All the records have already been translated and changes to the records will be rare.

What should you do to ensure that your service will scale and perform well as new clients are added ?
A - store all the records in an LDAP server and use JNDI to access them from the web tier
B - deploy a standard 3-tier solution that is supported by a fast and reliable relational database
C - deploy a single service on many servers in the web tier, each storing all the records in memory
D - store all of the records in a network attached file system so they can be served directly from the file system

Correct: C

33.You are the architect of a web application that uses JSF as a presentation tier for business processes coded as stateless session beans. When you add new code to the stateless session beans to address new accounting requirements, without changing the interface, you discover that the new business processes are being ignored by some of the JSF components.

Which might be the cause of this problem?
A - The presentation tier is relying on validation logic in the business tier.
B - The browser is caching out-of-date versions of the JSF components.
C - The business processes are not rigorously encapsulated in the session beans.
D - The new session beans have been deployed incorrectly, and proper deployment will resolve the problem.

Correct: C

34. You have refactored your legacy Java application into a three-tiered architecture. Your security audit group is concerned that your architecture may be vulnerable to security threats in the separate tiers. Which two methods can you use to reduce those threats? (Choose two).
