Thank you for your response

Hello

I already have SCJP certification.

Do I need to take Oracle training for certification - 1Z0-897 ? Or I can directly give this certification?

Best Regards
Tejas

This is an EBook which covers various topics on Java and JEE technologies interview questions and answers. The book is not an exhaustive reference but serves as a refresher to various topics during Java interview. In case you have more questions to share, please post it as comments and I will add it in the 2nd edition of the book.

The eBook is available at
Practical Guide to Last Minute Java and JEE Technology interview questions

The blog is available at

Originally, I wanted the book to be available for free, but Kindle books are not available for free, so kept a very low price.

Thanks

I have authored another eBook on Amazon kindle for Apache Solr.

Here's the description:

Apache Solr is an enterprise grade fast search engine with full text search capabilities. It can be integrated with database, provides faceted query interface and clustering support. In this tutorial, we will build a fictitious search application to retrieve medical patient records. The Solr itself is a very big topic and not all the Solr features are covered in this book.
The book covers SolrJ library, Java code to interface to Solr, Solr configuration and installation on Tomcat and building Java code to perform search operations using Solr.
This book is aimed at developers, architects and technical managers who will benefit immensely by reading this book. This is a short and quick guide and provides practical example to build a search interface.

thanks for the response.
Some questions:
(1) console should also have values printed in chinese, it must be working fine on windows os with chinese language. If yes whats the way to change this setting?
(2) the same tomcat is going to be deployed on CentOS, what OS level settings are required?
(3) when jsp page calls a java class method and i pass the chinese characters to this method, garbage special characters are displayed. Any code in java that handles utf 8 characters?

Hi

I am entering following URL on the web browser:
http://localhost:8080/nbt4/pages/chinesesearch.jsp?crit=可回收包装

I have pasted following code of chinesesearch.jsp:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%> <% request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); System.out.println("Character encoding after set " + request.getCharacterEncoding()); String crit = request.getParameter("crit"); System.out.println("Criteria in JSP((((())))) before unicode conversion - " + crit); String utf8 = new String(crit.getBytes(),"UTF-8"); System.out.println("Criteria in JSP((((())))) after unicode conversion - " + utf8); %> List of products: <%=crit%> <BR/> After conversion <%=utf8%>

The following is printed on the browser:
List of products: 可回收包装
After conversion ???

The reason I am using the method getBytes(), is because on the tomcat console following message is printed:
Criteria in JSP((((())))) before unicode conversion - ???
Criteria in JSP((((())))) after unicode conversion - ???

Both request from web browser to server and the same value from server to web browser are printed properly in chinese. However, in the tomcat console, the characters are not displayed properly, instead of chinese characters, ??? are displayed. Please tell me how to resolve this ?

Also, when the query string parameter is passed to a Java bean as a string variable, and printed on console - the values come as garbage.

Has anybody had experience working with Chinese characters ? Please help.

I am using Tomcat 6, JDK 6 and Windows 7. Also, I have to run this solution in production environment running CentOS, JDK6 and Tomcat 6.

Thanks
Tejas

Hi

I have recently started to explore Mobile Application development. However, I am not sure on the correct choice of platform for application development.

Like - Java ME, Google Android, HTML5, iPhone

Could you tell me which is the most generic platform which will support maximum number of mobile phones for application development ?

Thanks

Tejas

Hi

I read the book - SOA Compass, this covers most of the items from the exam. There are many scenario questions and also questions on IBM software products.

I also read some case studies as documented in the earlier posts on this forum.

Thanks
Tejas

I cleared the Solution Designer exam with 78% yesterday.

Want to ask the forum members on what other certifications can be pursued for SOA or allied technologies ?

All ideas welcome !

Thanks
Tejas

Hi

I am new to SAFS framework for automating testing. If someone could help me understand the differences/pros/cons between SAFS framework, Selenium Test Tool, Rational Functional Tester tool - will be great.

I want to know the differences in terms of usability, extensibility, architecture, (dis) advatages, ease of use, etc.

Also, if someone can describe their experience as to use of each of the framework/tools, that will be great.

Thanks for taking time to read respond to this post!!
