4 weeks no result. Feedback say SCJD submission jar file affected by Virus. Submit again immediately.
2 weeks more no result. Enquiry and feedback say assessor can't open the submission file. However, I've tested it on all platforms (Windows/Linux) and OK. Don't know what happen? Must I make it a self extraction jar file?
This is the efficiency of Sun. I faint...

Hang in there Michael. Just keep communicating with Sun (at reasonable intervals, of course). I'm sure they'll get around to taking care of you sooner or later.

I think I have very good patience.
I just not understand why each time until so late then I was informed the problem (whether it's a real problem is not certain). This wouldn't happen if there is a sense of responsibility.
Do I need to instruct the assessors how to extract a jar file? They suppose to be java experts and have full knowledge to deal with such file. Also, no such requirement in SCJD instruction.
I'll give them one more time the submission, without any change, together with the extraction instruction though there is no point to do so.
I wish this bad experience will be over soon.

Hi
I am also planning to upload the submisiion jar soon. What I want to know more about this extraction instruction. Is it a text file containing the command to unjar the submission jar which is uploaded seperately along with the submission jar file.
Thanks

I understand that it is frustrating to wait. On the other hand here is what Sun is trying to accomplish:
- Keep the price as low as possible - most of the exam fee goes to the testing center - not Sun
- Provide a service that includes evaluating each submission individually. Someone will take several hours reviewing your submission, this person is an expert in Java, it's not something that an untrained person can do.
So, for less than $75 a true Java expert will personally, load your software, run it, review your code, and give you a grade. It's a grueling task to do this over and over again.
I suppose Sun could consider an 'expedited' service, where an applicant could pay more for a faster turn around.
Who would pay more for this, I'm curious ?

Friends,
After a long waiting (>7 weeks). Finally I got my score posted (As attached) although not a very appealing one.
Through my experience with Sun, there is much to improve for its service. Think that they could not open my submission jar file twice while the last successful one is just the same, nothing changed. There must be very messy in their backend which we do not really know but can see from many other's experience. Sun is killing itself by being like this.
Anyway, everything is over. It's time for me to take a breath.
Last, many thanks to Mark, Peter, Eugene and many others for your help. This is an excellent forum.

Michael

Congrats Michael. The wait is over.
Could you please post your results in the Certification Results forum. I am going to close this thread, so you can post it there.
