Hi everyone,

Thank you for the good wishes :-) I studied for a month and a half, about 5 -6 hrs per day.

Hi everyone,

I cleared SCWCD yesterday with 91%. Am sooooooo happy and relieved :-))
Well, these would be my inputs for someone studying for it....HSFJ is a great learning experience... it's a new technique and somehow it works with me.... it's easier to REMEMBER facts and associate with diagrams.... so I would recommend a good read of this book... I also went through SCWCD Exam Study Kit and I think it's a very good book too..... but apart from all this.... read the specs and api for major classes.... there's loads in these that just need plain reading....
I had read on an earlier post that the actual exam has questions from mock exams , unfortunately I cannot agree with that.. none of the questions that I saw in the mocks were on the exam, not even a likeliness of any sort...mocks stay good only for revision... I did buy Whizlabs too and I've used it to the core.. so that's my advice.... rest assured, the exam will be tougher than the mocks you give....but still not as difficult as SCJP 5.0

Hey Marc, do I get to go into the Hall of Fame?

anyone any idea about a discount here in the United States for SCWCD 310-081 ?

Hi everyone,

was searching for any Sun promotions for the SCWCD in the US, but stumbled on this. It's only applicable for a free retake on the exam , no discount on the current purchase .. But anyone buying a voucher can of course use it anyway...

Congrats Narendra,
you've been helping a lot of people on this forum too including me, so thank you.....great score !

Hi Bryan,

Thank you for the tutorial and thank you for writing a really good book. I am currently studyiong for my SCWCD, should probably give it in a few weeks.... I would really appreciate if yo could send me a copy of the source code and WArs for Dynamic Attribute examples. My address is [email protected].

Thanks,
Sumita.

Congrats Bhavik.. Great score.. !

Even if <load-on-startup> is not specified in the DD, it depends on the web-container when it wnats to load the servlet class, either when the server is started, at startup , or when the first request comes in. My servlet's init() method is called whne the server starts up even when it does not have any <load-on-startup> associated with it.

Excellent score! Congrats !

While running your code Vinod,

VALUE BOUND
Added first BindingTest to session attrib key
VALUE BOUND
VALUE UNBOUND
Added second BindingTest to session attrib key

I always get Bound before Unbound, if you get another answer, i dont know what to think... but my output goes well with the mock exam answers.....

Of course as Narendra says, if you refresh your browser, you will be in the same session with one BindingTest instance in session, so, you will get different results.
So, the next time the result is
VALUE BOUND
VALUE UNBOUND
Added first BindingTest to session attrib key
VALUE BOUND
VALUE UNBOUND
Added second BindingTest to session attrib key

which works with my theory in previous post..

Hey guys,

lets remove all the confusion... I had to try it myself in a more constructive than destructive way to CLEAR my concepts.I added lots of system.out.prinltn's to make things clear.

here's my code and the output.

package com.example; import java.io.IOException; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionBindingEvent; import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionBindingListener; public class BindingTest extends HttpServlet implements HttpSessionBindingListener{ public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException,ServletException { req.getSession().setAttribute("key", new BindingTest()); System.out.println("Added first BindingTest to session attrib key"); req.getSession().setAttribute("key", new BindingTest()); System.out.println("Added second BindingTest to session attrib key"); req.getSession().setAttribute("key", "x"); System.out.println("Added some String to session attrib key"); req.getSession().removeAttribute("key"); System.out.println("removes that string value from session attrib key"); } public void valueBound(HttpSessionBindingEvent event) { System.out.println("VALUE BOUND"); } public void valueUnbound(HttpSessionBindingEvent event) { System.out.println("VALUE UNBOUND"); } }
and the output.

VALUE BOUND
Added first BindingTest to session attrib key
VALUE BOUND
VALUE UNBOUND
Added second BindingTest to session attrib key
VALUE UNBOUND
Added some String to session attrib key
removes that string value from session attrib key

So my deduction,
First VALUE BOUND is obvious.

While calling second setAttribute on the same key,
for the BindingTest class an instance is bound first and the previous instance is notified of being unbound later (really sad part when u would think otherwise )


When "key" is set to a new String , the second instance of BindingTest is removed from session(unbound) , so VALUE UNBOUND is printed.

And when "key" is removed from session, BindingTest is never notified because there is no instance of it existing in the session.

Hope that makes things clear and less confusing.
