And just to make sure.. Have you guys already checked certview?

My Pass Grade was up on certview 5 weeks before they emailed me with my score.

So I finally Got My score

Your Score: 389 Passing Score: 320 Result: Pass

On October 4th, they posted in certview that I passed, I received my success kit 4 weeks ago. Then a couple of days ago, I received an email saying that they
are working on grading my assignment and they are sorry for the delay.

Yesterday I received an email saying I passed.. YAY!!! But wait, I passed already in certview, I got my success kit...... They must be really crazy
over there... Anyway, I passed again.. I might pass again soon.....

Just so you know,

I never received an email, and I too got the grading delay email.

Go to certview.oracle.com and check on your status there. You might have already been graded a while ago..
Whats in this success kit... just the certificate?

Well,

It looks like I passed. Just wanted to say Thank you to the forum in particular Roel and Robert. Both of whom gave me guidance when I needed it.

Heres My Timeline:

August 12th -- Download Assignment
Auguest 22nd -- Submit Assignment
August 26th -- Take Essay
October 4th -- Entered into Certview.

I still feel a bit sad that I rushed through it... And I really liked the experience. No doubt I will probably not be going for any more of these masters assignments with teh course requirement unless my company pays for it. Its quite depressing.....

I agree with Roel -- You passed

Also look in the Success Kit section... It will say when you passed by the date of the Sucecss Kit "Created Date". The certification should also now be listed with your logo in the Certifcation history.

This is what I have as well it says for me, 1Z0-855 PASS, 1Z0-856 TAKEN, and in the success kit section it has a mailed out date, and the certification also now shows up in my certification list along with Logo. My Pearson Vue account says nothing......

Look in certview, what does it say there?

I am glad that other people feel the same way... I am not stressing it anymore...

I had a really good time doing this project... I mean I stayed up till 3AM some nights working on it, and then up at 6Am to go to work...then back at 7PM and start it again... heheh
Totally awesome... How strange are we
I guess I agree somewhat with your statement, but the oracle deadline used to be 12 months, now its 6 months, and I submitted my assignment in 10 days. I have a full time job and 2 young children. I guess what I am saying, Is I should have listened to Roel, and put forth a final solution worth submitting, even if it meant that I wouldnt be able to re-submit.... But for some reason, my OCD kicked in, and I just had to meet the August 27th deadline for the completion of the essay & assignment.. So I cut alot of corners... My fault I know.... But to tell you the truth, I had so much fun doing this assignment...... I learned alot... I think I am going to take the time to correct all my issues I have and read up some more on patterns... But whether or not I have to resubmit, I dont care.. I will make my solution better.

Yes, that code is executed after the lock method... For roel, I was talking about synchronizing the update with the check, however I now realize the otehr threads are waiting on the lock, so theres no threat
Its a synchronized block correct? I am wondering if this is a must requirement... I am guessing it would be
Yea, I know what you mean Robert... I feel like ripping the thing apart.. No most of it is not must, but I think I have some useless code in my business layer that is not doing what I thought it was...... I am pretty paranoid, but thats just how I am... Even though I submitted already, I am still looking at the code. My plan is to do the Network portion as RMI next for fun. But I should have known better and tested my business class with some more test cases.
I just had a quick question. Are you guys handling Business service concurrency as well?

So what if Thread 1 comes in, get a lock on rec #2, then Thread 1 completes and books the room. Then thread 2 comes in at the same time and is waiting for the lock. Do you have some type of kick-out on the update method to say that if the Room is not available, then throw an exception?

This is how I implemented it.. I was wondering what you guys did.

Because is doing this enough??

if(room.isAvailable()) {
database.update(recNo);
} else throw RecordNotFoundException.

Or would you have to do what I did, and if two records get a lock, the second one that tries to update is kicked out.

This is the call from the business service.
I just took the essay portion, I wont list the questions, but some of them seemed like I could answer in 3-4 sentences, I didnt, I extended it to a page+.

There were 5 total questions
Yea, unfortunately, my fear was that I would fail for some silly reason, like I forgot a comment on a public method or something of that sort, and at t hat point, there would be no way I could
pay for that course, and my company would definately not cover it in this economic climate. Maybe I was silly now that I think about it.... Probably very silly -- oh well
