Thanks for your fruitful reply

Hello Paul and Joseph,

I am very thrilled and excited about your book which looks really promising, my excitements is because I am in a critical stage of my career where I am putting a lot of efforts to be a software architect at my company and gain the required and the missing knowledge in software applications architecture which was my dream job since the first day I decided to be a Java Software Engineer 7 years back.

The first step to do that I am seeking an official recognition of my architecture vision capabilities by taking the exam and fully committing to its study material in the next 5 months.

I believe that my past hands on experience has covered some topics that are required in the exam, but I am certain that there are a lot more to cover.

My question is this book is going to help me in covering the required topics in the exam ? and how much shall I depend on other references ? and how much time it is going to take a regular permanent employee to be certified.

Thanks,
Hatem

absloutly it's very interesting

Dear All,
I have an urgent problem I have eToken Pro USB device and I need to generate private key on it, I was able to load the KeyStore using the pkcs#11 dll file, but I don't have any Idea on how to generate keys on the USB ... I tried to use the keyStore.setEntry method but the problem is it requires a Certificate chain and I don't know how to get this certificate ?? here is the code that i have reached

String configName = "C:\\eTokenConfig.cfg"; Provider p = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(configName); Security.addProvider(p); // Read the keystore form the smart card char[] pin = { 'p', '4', 's', 's', 'w', '0', 'r', 'd' }; KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS11",p); keyStore.load(null, pin); //generate keys KeyPairGenerator kpg = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA",p); kpg.initialize(512); KeyPair pair = kpg.generateKeyPair(); PrivateKey privateKey = pair.getPrivate(); PublicKey publicKey = pair.getPublic(); // Save Keys How ???

does any one knows how to generate private keys on etoken USB device from a java application ? What do I need to do

Dear All, Today I have passed SCJP 6 with 88 % I would like to than you all cause you really played a an important role in this success by answering all of my questions ....
And i am very thankful for the ExamLab by Devaka it is the besttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...
I studied the book within 3 weeks , and I took all examlab tests twice times within a week with an average 6-9 hours per day. now I can go outttttt and have funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Ankit a very very very big thanks I am totally in a good shape for any casting questions cause of your explanation

will you please tell me the rule so i can memorize for the exam to solve such questions

Dear All , I faced the attached question in Exam Lab, and I still cant figure it out why there are two illegal casts , the reference variable is of the same type we are casting the object to , so it should compile ... please explain

thank you very much for sharing it ankit ,

same here I am too not giving all the potentials i did a mock test while i was eating mansaf ( a jordanian cook ) i scored 53% by the way
thank you man is it SCJP 6 or 5 ?

Dear certified java programmers,

Will you please post your ExamLab & master exam & any other mock exam & the real exam scores , that will help me alott in my self assessment before going to exam

Thank you very much

but i am still very surprised of people who take SCJP5 ? i mean why there is a newer version

no he means the highlighted notes in the book , they are called exam watch two highlights in k & b book: exam watch & on the job

thanks man , i am reviewing a mock exam which i scored 42% (Exam Lab) but I found that all of my mistakes were silly I hope to avoid such mistakes in the real one. I think mock exams a lil bit distracts the information you got from the book is this true i feel that i should revisit the book before going to take the exam on saturday, and i should revisit all the mocks( the 4 exams of exam lab ) that i did is this procedure good ? do i have time ?
