Hi, ranchers!
I just left the prometric site now, and here are my considerations about the
test to those that go to take the beta exam:
- Very, very questions about exception. My hint is: study exceptions, and exceptions and exceptions. EJBException, SystemExceptions, ApplicationsExceptions, rollback, etc...
- Be sure to understand what happens when you have a deleted, detached, new entity and perform a merge, persist, etc. And one more time: attencion to the exceptions.
- Some questions about "I have 2.1
Ejb and I want to talk to 3.0 ejb", and the inverse. Be prepared.
- Be prepared to questions about a session using BMT that call another using CMT, as the inverse.
- A lot of questions of "hand-use" in session beans.
- About 13 questions about security
- No easy questions. A lot of questions of 6 itens to select 2 correct answers.
- Some questios with repeated itens! Yes, an error to YOU report about the test.
- No results after 5 hours of test... What disappoint... :roll:
My impressions where the following:
- The test is more difficult than the old ejb test
- The time of 5 hours, that appears a lot of time, is not enough to revisit all questions. Be prepared to this.
- Do not lose time in hard questions. Mark it in a paper and go forward!
So, I wish luck to all beta-takers, and hope my observations be usefull...
And... My thanks to Mikalai for your excelent notes. As a hint, it is a MANDATORY reading....
Regards,
Luiz Reginaldo
