Sathya's notes

[Tim Wang]

I tried to download Sathya's notes. But still not succeed after many tries. I did notice the discussion in the original thread. Still I got this message:
<<You requested the resource from the URL null.
Requesting an URL directly from an external link is not allowed. You will be redirected to an internal resource that contains the necessary links.
Click here if you are not redirected automatically. >>
Can someone help me to get the notes or email me the notes to wangabq(at)hotmail.com? Thanks a lot. And thanks a lot to Sathya.

Try directly clicking the pdf file(so that it opens in the browser window) from the Notes Home page.Don't try to save using right-click or other options.

Hi all,
Sorry that you are having trouble downloading my notes. Here's my general reasoning for making the download slightly complicated than normal:
I setup a Filter (actually, I wanted to play with Servlet Filters!) such that only requests made by clicking on the link from the webpage
http://www.cssathya.com/tutorials/java/certification/scmad/notes.jsp
would be honored.
While many have graciously provided links to my notes from their websites for which I am thankful for, I just wanted to make sure that people get a chance to look at other stuff in my website that I hopefully will be adding very shortly relating to SCMAD and Wireless Programming. After all, setting up a webpage does have a small self-promotion involved (even if it is a non-profit thing)
The way it is currently set up is like this.
1. You go to the URL mentioned above. (If you are clicking from another site, you will be ultimately redirected to this page after 5 secs.)
2. Click on any of the Adobe icons (do not right-click. This was a glitch that I did not expect. Apparently, the servlet treats a right-click as a fresh request from the client and NOT as a request originating from the page where your right-clicked).
3. This should open up the adobe plug-in inside your IE or Netscape and display the notes on the browser.
4. Click on the "Save" button at the top-left corner of the plug-in and save the notes to the disk.
I will try to make the process easier shortly. I did not get a chance till now since I was concentrating on the SCMAD exam myself.
I will also be adding more stuff to the notes and will be making corrections as suggested by some of the readers. So please do check back. The errata and addendum sections should tell you if there are changes.
If for some reason you are still not able to get to the notes, you can get a SNAPSHOT of the notes (as of 2/24/04) here.

Do keep in mind that this will not be updated as the original notes.
Also, I will be adding Mock Questions shortly. So be on the lookout!
Best Wishes for your exam.
