Hi Anthony,
Congratulations for coming out with a useful book for Java Fraternity.

I am a Tech lead with 10 years of experience in Industry. Have a peculiar sub-ordinate who need advise on charting out his career - He is 15 years experienced on Java & .Net, Lotus Domino, and few Scripting languages including REXX. Thing is , he has got non-progressive career, since he has not got opportunities to work on New projects i.e., from the scratch coding, and always has been on Maintenance type of works and lacks motivation in knowing concepts beyond his job demands. So has never taken any training, nor learnt anything on own, nor had done any certifications. I am supposed to be his mentor, and help him chart out his next steps towards scaling up on Java technologies. I had asked him small exercises to code, which he finishes not by thinking on own but only googling and copying pasting. He will only come out with functional code that works, but is not efficient by performance, does not confirm to module design. Point is he does'nt read and learn, nor understand best practices and I see myself wasting a lot of time in making him understand basic things.

After trying out everything, I have asked him to take a call and move away from Java technologies which is not able to catch up with nor ramp up to. He is very good at mathematics, so was suggesting him get trained in Data Science, Business Analytics.

Would like to know your opinion / suggestions for such a Professional.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Congratulations to all you folks who have now become SCEA/OCMJEA !

I could not meet up the 27th deadline, I could not finalize the solution. Have been working since 3 weeks on it now, still not satisfied with the solution i have come up with...
Guess my dream of becoming an SCEA will remain a dream as I cannot afford to pay for the mandatory training and cannot bank on some company sponsoring me for this since such costly trainings fall in bucket of the most privileged few.

Does the new rule from Oracle folks mean that assignment and essay done by September 1 week will not be graded at all ?

Hi Dariusz,
Congrats for passing.

You said you had modified the domain model, did that mean that you had added the updated domain model diagram as a part of your submission or just added a point in assumptions set ?

This will help me decide on my assignment too.

Thanks in advance,
Ishita

Hello there,
What is this exchange voucher you folks are talking about ? For Part 2, i had bought the voucher from pearson, and have downloaded the assignment. The status is now - In progress. Do I have to still write to sun cert for any voucher ?

Please help !

Thanks

Struggling with Part 2 assignment now !

Hi Naresh,

Visit www.pearson.com/oracle --> choose "Schedule a test" --> choose "Master assignments". You ll asked to login, next you will find the assignment for Architect wherein the part 2 of 3 is clearly mentioned there. proceed with the payment via credit card.

You do need a pearson web account for this.

All the best !

Hi Ram,
That was really interesting you were trying to do. I am sure you would have got over the problem by now. What I dont understand is why is it that you want to have a custom class loader, which is the cause of the problem you were facing.

Thanks,
Ishita

Hi all Experts there -
I am preparing for this exam and need help from you all in getting to know how to prepare for the Design Patterns specifically. As you all know, there are 23 GOF and then the 21 JEE patterns.......how can one remember quality of each and apply it appropriately to a situation. I always get confused . Please provide suggestions on how to crack this.

Thanks in advance !

Hi,

Some time a single class becomes a component
Although a single class may become a component at times, but not the whole logic falls into the same class. It definitely makes use of some other classes say helper classes where the logic is distributed with.
So a component is rather a kind of module that may constitute of a number of classes.
does that suffice ???

Hello EJBiens,
I wanted to know if we can deploy a full fledged application in J2EE Server?
What would be the performance of such an application?
As suggested by the guys at Sun, this server is only a reference implementation, so how well can it serve as a real application server?
Thanx everybody.
