Passed SCBCD - 90%

[Jordan Humber]

Hey all,

This is my first post here after months of reading all your questions and replies.

Here's the steps I followed:
Read HFEJB
Read O'reilly EJB book
Read Spec
Read HFEJB again and made notes
Took as many mock questions/exams as I could.

Overall, I felt the most important thing to learn was what runs in a transaction context, and therefore what be accessed and when.
Also, knowing the methods on the interfaces is essential.

Thanks everyone for posting great questions/answers over the past few months! Good to luck to all those studying!!

Cheers,
Jordan

Thanks alot.

There weren't any "unexpected" questions, but in general I noticed there were quite a few on EJB-QL, and alot on the Roles.
But hey, chances are you'll get completely different questions from what I got so my comments are purely speculative.
I think the exam covered literally everything from the HFEJB book, which I guess just goes to show what a top book it is
Good luck with your exam.

ps. To this moment I swear there was a drag-n-drop EJB-QL questions where the correct answer was not possible from the options given(!). But then again, I only got 60% on the EJB-QL section, so it was probably my mistake

wow..gr8 score!! so, did u read the whole HFEJB book & then read the specs or parallelly?? Did u study the MZaikin's notes?? how & when did u prepare them??

[Deepa Korecherla]

Could u help me in these q's from hfejb book--

a)The Only way to remove a local sess bean is thru the comp. interface.
b)Entity beans can be removed thru a local home interface
c)if u see isIdentical() call this must be a local bean
d)if u see a getHandle() thes must be a remote bean
e)If client is catching a rem. exp on a home meth, the bean's home interface must extend EJBLoaclHome

f)If client is not handling a rem. exp on a business meth, the bean's comp interface must extend EJBObject
g)If u see a call to getEJBMetaData(), the bean's comp interface must extend EJBLocalObject
h)if u do a jndi lookup on lcal home, u must narrow the obj returned from jndi
i)there r 3 meths in EJBLocalObj interface
j)there r 2 meths in EJBLocalhome interface

I find now that a,b,d r correct.
Pls clarify

[Jordan Humber]

I assume you mean A, B, D and F, in which case yes, I believe you are correct.
Good luck with your exam.
