Well here we go... here are the questions, hope people post the answers. That way we can all have something to work with.
1. Which of the following may be performed when a packaged enterprise application (EAR file) is deployed or installed in WebSphere Application Server, V5.0?
A.Generate the deploy code for enterprise beans in EJB modules.
B.Define the custom tag libraries used by the JSPs in the web module deployment descriptor.
C.Specify "Context Root" for each web module.

E.Map entity beans to relational database schema.

Select 2 answers.
2. A developer is designing a web application in which a user will submit a form containing information about a credit card transaction. This information will be used to validate the transaction using a network service provided by the credit card company. If the transaction is approved the transaction details are logged in a relational database and a confirmation is returned to the user. Maintainability, role separation and code reuse are all important objectives in the project. Which of the following would be the BEST way to structure the application?
A.A servlet receives the HTTP request, uses a session EJB to validate the transaction and forwards the request to a JSP to display the confirmation message.
B.A servlet receives the HTTP request, performs the transaction validation in the servlet method and writes the confirmation message to the response as HTML.
C.A JSP receives the HTTP request, uses a session EJB to validate the transaction and uses the results to generate the dynamic response to send back to the user.
D.A JSP receives the HTTP request, uses a JavaBean to validate the transaction and forwards the request to a servlet to write the confirmation message to the response as HTML.

The purpose for posting the answers is an aid in studing for the exam. I am currently studing for this exam and would find it very benifitial to discuss possible answers to these questions. If you find that this would not benefit you at all then don't participate. These answers are not all correct and I don't believe that it undermines any initiatives at IBM. The ICE tests are there as a learning tool and are being treated as such.
Noboby needs to look at the answers if they don't wish to and should exercise self restraint.
thanks

Hi
I have a fferent answer for Question no:3
3. Which of the following MUST be provided in a tag library descriptor XML file?
A. The version of JSP custom tags being used.
B. The version of J2EE for the custom tag library.
C. The definition of at least one custom tag.
D. The short name of the web application in which the library is used.
E. The prefix for the custom tags defined in the library.

Select 2 answers.
Thae following is the DTD for <taglib> element:
<!ELEMENT taglib
(tlib-version, jsp-version, short-name, uri?, display-name?, small-icon?, large-icon?, description?, validator?, listener*, tag*) >
Here <tlib-version>, <jsp-version> and <short-name> are mandatory and appear once. There must be atleast one <tag> subelemet and zero or more <listener> elements. All other subelements are optional and can occur no more than once. Note that version of JSP is required. Not the version of JSP Custom tag.
So the answer should be C, D
Thanks

Hi,
I think you got question 3 wrong. If you read the D option carefully, it says short name of the web application instead of short name of the tag. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
(D. The short name of the web application in which the library is used._

Saliya

<short-name> specifies a preferred prefix value for the tags in the library. Do you think 'A' is correct? or it is a typo?

I have got 100% for following 2 Objectives :
3. Develop clients that access the enterprise components
5. EJB transactions
So following should be the correct answers :
CLIENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) What items MUST be specified when defining a custom web service XML-to-Java mapping during the creation of a web service SOAP client?
A. a Java class to map to
B. a deserializer class
C. a marshaller method
D. an unmarshaller method
ANS:- A,B
A Java client application has to display data in multiple views where each view has its own data requirements. The BEST strategy for retrieving the data from the server is to:
A. Use session beans to gather the required data from multiple entity beans.
B. Use entity beans to provide the required data.
C. Move entity beans to the thick client.
D. Use message-driven beans to gather the required data from multiple entity beans.
ANS:- A ,B
2)
1. InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
2. QueueConnectionFactory qcf = null;
3. qcf = (QueueConnectionFactory)ic.lookup("java:comp/env/myQCF");
The code above is part of a business method in a session bean deployed to the WebSphere Application Server. The method puts a message on a queue managed by WebSphere MQ. When the code on Line 3 is executed at runtime, a javax.naming.NamingException is thrown. All of the following could cause the exception EXCEPT:
A. The JNDI name used in Line 3 for the resource reference to the QueueConnectionFactory is not in the server configuration.
B. The QueueConnectionFactory referenced by the resource reference is not in the server configuration.
C. The resource reference with the JNDI name used in Line 3 is a reference to a TopicConnectionFactory in the server configuration.
D. The WebSphere MQ JMS client classes are not in the runtime classpath of the enterprise application in which the session bean is deployed.
ANS :- C
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSACTIONS :

1 ) While testing a BMP entity bean, a developer discovers that a transaction rollback does not cause a rollback of the changes made to the bean as it should. Which of the following should the developer suspect?
A. The ejbPassivate() method has a bug.
B. The ejbStore() method has a bug.
C. The ejbCreate() method has a bug.
D. The datastore does not support JTA.
E. The transaction does not implement javax.transaction.UserTransaction.
ANS : B,D
2) A developer discovers that an exception being thrown from a business method on a bean-managed transaction session bean does not cause the transaction to rollback as expected. What would correct this problem?
A. Call setRollbackOnly() on the EJBContext.
B. Call rollback() on the current UserTransaction object.
C. Call rollback() on the EJBContext.
D. call setRollbackOnly() on the UserTransaction object.
ANS :- B,D
3) While testing a method of a container-managed transaction EJB, javax.ejb.TransactionRequiredException is thrown. The method is configured with transaction attribute:
A. Never
B. Required
C. Supports
D. RequiresNew
E. Mandatory
ANS :- E
4) The following sequence of method calls occurred on a CMP entity bean instance when a session bean invoked the CMP's businessMethod1() and businessMethod2() methods from the same session bean method entityBean.ejbActivate() entityBean.ejbLoad() entityBean.businessMethod1() entityBean.businessMethod2() entityBean.ejbStore() entityBean.ejbPassivate() Assuming that the session bean is configured with 'Required', what MUST be TRUE about the scenario that generated these method calls?
A. The business methods are NOT configured with 'RequiresNew'
B. Any persistent state changes that occur as a result of businessMethod1() are in the same transaction scope as changes made by businessMethod2().
C. Any persistent state changes that occur as a result of businessMethod1() are in a different transaction scope than changes made by businessMethod2().
D. ejbStore() will write the resultant state of the entity bean to the persistent store.
ANS:- A,B

5) While testing a session bean configured with "Bean Managed", a developer discovers that a TransactionRolledBackException is being thrown by a call to a method on an entity bean. The session bean, prior to calling the method, explicitly started the transaction. Possible causes for the exception are that the:
A. entity bean method is throwing a checked exception and is configured with a transaction attribute of "Required".
B. entity bean method is throwing an unchecked exception and is configured with a transaction attribute of "Required".
C. entity bean does not throw an exception but is configured with a transaction attribute of "Not Supported".
D. entity bean method is throwing an exception and is configured with a transaction attribute of "Requires New".
ANS:- B,D

1. Which of the following may be performed when a packaged enterprise application (EAR file) is deployed or installed in WebSphere Application Server, V5.0?
A. Generate the deploy code for enterprise beans in EJB modules.
B. Define the custom tag libraries used by the JSPs in the web module deployment descriptor.
C. Specify "Context Root" for each web module.
D. Generate Access beans for any enterprise beans.
E. Map entity beans to relational database schema.


My answers would be: A and E
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsphelp/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/info/ae/ae/trun_app_instwiz.html
4.e. For Deploy EJBs, specify whether the EJBDeploy tool runs during application installation. The tool generates code needed to run EJB files.
19. If the Deploy EJBs setting is enabled on the Provide options to perform the installation panel, then you can specify options for the EJBDeploy tool on the Step: Provide options to perform the EJB Deploy panel. On this panel, you can specify extra classpath, rmic options, database types, and database schema names to be used while running the EJBDeploy tool. The tool is run on the EAR file during installation after you click Finish.
C is not correct 'cause you can only specify "Context Root" while installing an individual WAR file.

For Q12 above the answers are B and D and following is the explanation :
A is wrong :
Checked Exception is always Rethrown as Application Exception so TransactionRolledBackException is not thrown
B Correct : If a bean method is participating in a transaction of caller and has tx attribute"Required" then for the the Unchecked Exception is Client always gets TransactionRolledBackException (EJB SPECS #18.3.1)
C wrong : If entity bean doesn't throw any exception then there is no way that a client gets TransactionRolledBackException
D Correct : For a bean method running in transaction started by other bean and any excpetion except ApplicationException occurs then javax.transaction.
TransactionRolledbackException is thrown back

Thanks, Nikhil, for your answer.
For q.15, the correct answer should be A.
An object implementing HttpSessionBindingListener receives notification only when it is bound to or unbound from the session. It's unaware of the session life cycle.
Here is the question:
15. A class is created which implements the HttpSessionBindingListener interface and an instance is created in a web application. Which of the following would be the MOST common use of the features of such an object?
A. The relationship between the object's internal state and the persistent representation can be synchronized when the object is stored in or removed from the HttpSession.
B. The object can be used to monitor the usage of the HttpSession to provide information to detect performance problems caused by HttpSession usage.
C. When the HttpSession is invalidated the object can manually ensure all objects stored in the HttpSession are correctly removed to prevent memory leakage.
D. Multiple HttpSession objects relating to the same client can be combined to avoid application data loss in situations where a client is required to reauthenticate.

Select the best answer.

Hi,
I'm in doubt about this question:
9. When setting up the JMS server, in a test environment which is already running message-driven beans (MDB), which of the following properties MUST be configured to correctly communicate messages to a new MDB?
A. Queue JNDI name
B. Initial state to: Started
C. Queue name
D. Connection factory JNDI name
E. Listener port name
Select 2 answers.
Answer A is obviously wrong, E seems to be wrong too, because you set up the listener port in the DD, not in the test environment.
But, you should specify both names and jndi names for both queue and connection factory. So, A, C and D are all correct
Could you show me my mistake?

Seems nobody is preparing for 287
Okay, another question:
44. A web application needs to be able to scale to very large volume with a very diverse client profile. Application data involves only small amounts of primitive data, which are not sensitive. Which of the following is the BEST approach for managing application state?
A. Use persistent Cookies.
B. Use hidden form fields.
C. Use HttpSessions.
D. Use stateful session beans.
Select the best answer.
What is your answer for this and why?
What do they mean by diverse client profile? Does it mean that the state for different clients can contain little or much data?
How the phrase "Application data involves only small amounts of primitive data, which are not sensitive" influence the answer?

Diverse client profile - It means you've got to design your application with possibly non-HTTP clients in mind.
The second quote - Cookies would be Ok to handle low-security, small amounts of primitive data. But cookies are only good for HTTP clients.
B and C also limit you to HTTP clients.
So I would select D - stateful session beans.
Just my 2 cents. I would like to hear from Howard on this.

Thanks a lot for your quick response, Howard.
Marco's choice is B - Hidden Form Fields, which implies HTTP client, doesn't it?
Maybe my interpretation of "diverse client profile" is wrong - because my whole argument is based on that - Doh! :roll: Let me think about it a little bit more then...

By the way, hidden form fields are also Ok for low-security, small amounts of primitive data and the server is relieved from managing the session state. But it still troubles me because the app has to be able "to scale to very large volume with a very diverse client profile".
Still thinking about this...

Okay. Here's my take. It's a Web app that scales to very high volume. That eliminates D since stateful session beans do not scale well. We can also eliminate C as not being the BEST approach from a scalability standpoint as well as the notion of small amounts of non-sensitive primitive data. Halfway there, we now have to eliminate either A or B. Since some users will disable cookies, we can eliminate A. That is based on my own personal interpretation of very diverse client profile.
YMMV.

I think the answer to 14) should be A and B. I don't think it is valid that a Customer bean invokes a private method (ejbStore) on a related bean (Address Bean).
Any thoughts ?

question 5:

Surely option A makes an application more robust (failover to a second server). But options C & D do not really sound right.

question 28.
whats wrong with answer A, implementing Business logic in the MDB?

Hi Peter and Friends,
For number 5 I suggest that you re-read the question thoroughly because it asks which techniques you should AVOID. Give it some thought.
For number 28 I would admit that one could implement the business logic in the MDB, but I tend to favor a design that places business logic in session beans. Ask yourself what is the BEST practive for interacting with other EJBs n the system and do not neglect transactional considerations.

For Question 5 , my answers would be with B and C .
A says "Use persistent HttpSessions to manage application state data" .
IMHO persistent HttpSessions will coverup the session failover situations and thus making the application more robust , so definitely A is not the technique which we should avoid to make application robust as possible
D says "Make all resource references via java:comp/env JNDI references" , this is infact Standard ENC and should be followed to make application robust and for implementing consistent naming .
So what remains is B and C , which shouldn't be used as techniques to make application as robust as possible .
Just my 2 cents ..

to 5: I think you are right. Option B is not recommended because it attaches a reference to a node instead of a cell.
to 27: I reconn the correct answer is A. But I think the question is not that brilliant. The exception you get if you fail to run the "generate->" is a ClassNotFoundException (and not the message "Unresolved compilation problems", which rather suggests a problem compiling some source classes).
In order to create a jar file you have to fix all compilation problems.

27. A developer has created a Java Project in IBM WebSphere Studio, which is used by an EJB Project. When the server is started for testing, the following messages appear in the console. ... addEjbModule failed for LibraryEJBProject.jar [class com.ibm.ws.runtime.component.DeployedModuleImpl] java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: ... Which of the following should the developer suspect?
Looking at the above question I feel that correct answer would be
C. The Java Project is not added to 'Project Utility JARs' in the Application Deployment Descriptor
Because Java Project in IBM WebSphere Studio, which is used by an EJB Project would nothing but the utility jar which should be added in the application deployment descripitor . If that is not added then any references made to the classes in that utility jar would definitely result in compilation errors for the EJB Project . If user tries to run the EJB project with these errors its possible that the error specified in the question above would be thrown back .
Still I am not sure , just a logical guess from my side

C is not the correct answer.
I prefer the answer provided above by my friends Marco Ves and R Pro. This is one that you have to try for yourself using WebSphere Studio. Somethimes I think that the people who develop the tests try to use answers that look logical in order to make it more difficult for people who are guessing.

Yeah. Giving it a second thought I think E must be right. It just means somebody has compilation problems all over the place (in his ejb project) and then tries to run the Test environment.
I wouldn't even try to do that - lame question in my opinion.

3. Which of the following MUST be provided in a tag library descriptor XML file?
A. The version of JSP custom tags being used.
B. The version of J2EE for the custom tag library.
C. The definition of at least one custom tag.
D. The short name of the web application in which the library is used.
E. The prefix for the custom tags defined in the library.
I think the answer is A, C.
According to JSP 1.2 DTD for Taglib Descriptor:
