Sorry for the delayed reply, was in a hectic office assignment for last weeks.

@Veena : HFSJ suggests a text editor for the coding, book says

"You do not need any other development tool, such as an Integrated Development
Environment (IDE). We strongly recommend that you not use anything but a
basic editor until you complete this book."

Compile the servlet using Javac with servlet-api.jar in classpath

Copy the class-files & web.xml to webapp's WEB-INF directory in tomcat.

Anyhow I used Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Indigo, at later stages for quick test runs.

@Gj Joshi : May be your question is answered well by Frits and mohitkumar.
@auvrm : Stoian mostly answered all, I may add

9) can I bring my own pen/pencil for the exam room

- My center said no.

10) Are there any drag and drop questions on the 1z0 - 858 exam?

– I had no dNd questions.

One more thing I noticed, some of the questions will be non-scoring, but we never know which all ...

Yesterday I cleared SCWCD/OCPJWCD 5 with 98% . Thanks a lot to HFSJ and
all the ranchers here. It took a long gap of 18+ months since my SCJD,
may be due to not finding enough time for studies.

I read whole HFSJ for at least twice in two stages. Initially started with slow cramming
and in the final stages accelerated a bit. Even though I have Core and Web side experience,
Its the first time I am coming across these many insidious details about Servlets and JSP.

I worked out mock exams at the end of chapters. Used Eclipse and Tomcat for trying out
examples.

The Real Exam was not too difficult . Obviously I have missed
couple of questions. My scorecard says 43/43, not sure how it maps 98% .

So whats next ? I am taking a break for next few months

Thanking you all a lot ...

Roel was indeed an inspiration , to build an app that is faultless.
(It will be unfair to say that, I never chased the perfect score )
But feel that I didn’t maintain

2/ keep it as simple as possible rule

and may be ended up losing 15 points.

Kind Regards,

I have only one main() in my entire application

Congratz , perfect score

Thanks a lot John Todd,
I will search in code if something is missing.

Hello all,

I was trying to run Grails in Fedora, when my application is started with grails run-app, an
interesting error thrown, like this
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError Error executing script RunApp: the number of constructors during runtime and compile time for java.lang.ClassLoader do not match. Expected 2 but got 3
I assume its a version conflict kind of thing,
Perhaps can anybody please throw some light here, might be a conflict in tomcat version ?

Kind Regards,
Naveen Narayanan.
