I got the email from Oracle saying that I have passed the OCMJEA. Pearson VUE Score Report for assignment say's I've scored 155 / 160 .

A big thank you for all of the ranchers who helped out to clarify my concerns !

Regards,
Yohan.

Congrats Yohan!!

BTW, where do you see the score? from the "vue" site? I believe Oracle "certview" site doesn't display any score.

Finally I got the result email from Oracle and happy to see that i'm in the 1% of the elite group.
Thanks for all your help, support and time.

When I was checking the status accidently in PearsonVue website on Oct 5th, I came to know, I PASSED.
Verified in Oracle Certview website in the same day and confirmed it, as my certification details were appearing in the website.

BTW, I am yet to receive the 1% congratulations email from Oracle. does not matter, I have hard copy of certification now...

So If any of you guys did not receive Congratulations email from Oracle, however if you could see score report in PearsonVue site and in Oracle certification view site(certview.oracle.com), then you should be good.

Many Thanks Again for Java Ranches for great help through out this Architect certification journey, especially this forum was really helpful for my step2 assignment.

Details :

1. Assignment Upload : 16-Sep-11
2. Essay Exam : 17-Sep-11
3. Score Report in PearsonVue : 05-Oct-11 ( may be this is visible earlier than 5th Oct, could be on 3rd or 4th, I did not check)
4. Certification View Website : 05-Oct-11
5. Certification Kit by MAIL : 18-Oct-11


Thank You All Again!!!


Warm Regards,
Ganesh.

Congrats Ganesh!!

Even I saw the same thing between "vue" and "certview" and I'm waiting for 1% mail.
So, in your postal mail, did you get score card in it? and did the mark you received in postal mail and mark displayed in the PDF in the "vue" site matched?

My time line:
10-JUN-11: part 1, downloaded part 2 (Factory Homes)
20-JUN-11: part 2 submitted
22-JUN-11: part 3
23-OCT-11: passed! (yes, that's ~19 weeks, 4 months!)

Thank you all for sharing your experiences with the awkward SCEA-grading-queue, this made my waiting a lot easier to bear.

Regards,
Geert

Congrats Geert!!
Thats a way long time to wait and I'm still waiting for my results too. Fingers crossed.

I'd like to thank the community which often gave me ideas to be explored.

Congrats Mauro!! Enjoy your fruit for the hardwork

Dmitry Kudinov wrote:Unbelievable! I got it!

Just went to my Pearson VUE account, checked score report and yes! I got Pass and 144/160 points

I didin't receive email from Oracle yet and in CertView I don't have logo for OCMJEA, but I'm sure I will have it in day or two.

I've submitted my assignment on 9th of June (Dreamcar) and taken essay on 13th of June - more then 18 week of waiting! And the most concern was that I will fail (deployment diagram section seems to be the weakest part for many aspirants) and after that I will need to wait same 4 months again. But luckily no.

I'm so happy! And I would like to thank this forum for all those answers I've found and for all those news I got from you guys

And it's a party time now!

Congrats Dmitry!!!

Even I think I'm facing the same situation like yours. When I checked in the "vue" site, the score card generated displays that I've passed the exam and with pass score. But no mails from Oracle or Vue or nothing in the Certview site. So, how can I be assured that I've cleared the exam?

And did you see the "Center: unproctered" in your score card?

What do you suggest?

Can anyone please let me know how I should submit the Part2 - whether sending by email to [email protected] with the assignment submission
or wait to get the user name and password for Pearson and then upload the assignment. I don't have any voucher since I paid by credit card.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Satish

If you are submitting the assignment via Pearson VUE, then you have to buy the exam from Pearson VUE( If you have bought it via Prometric, then I guess you can still use the same details to convert into Pearson's coupon ). Once you have registered for Part 2, then you can download the assignment and after completing, open up the same exam and it will prompt you to upload the assignment. Once your upload is done, the exam will be marked as complete and you can register for Part 3 immediately.

Manish, you are right, I tried to register today before submitting and it was showing up this message. But my biggest doubt is, why it is mentioned as "graded"?

Oracle Certification Program policy requires that a 1Z0-865 or 1Z0-848 exam be graded before registration for exam 1Z0-866 is allowed.

Also, is part-3 exam an online exam or I have to visit the center to write it?

Today came across this line from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/javaserverfaces-135231.html

Note that the entry point into the JSF framework is the FacesServlet. It acts as the front controller and handles request processing lifecycle.

You're thinking in terms of specifics, but MVC is an abstraction. In MVC, the controllers are components which link the Model and a View. Note that I said "a" View and not "the" View. That's because in a good MVC implementation you can have multiple views of a model, such as, for example, a spreadsheet view and a pie-chart view, both using the same model at the same time.

Tim, A very different thought perspective and clarification.


Thanks to all for discussing this topic in such depth.

With the advent of Java EE 5, he was able to remove a remarkable amount of patterns, indirections, and layers without sacrifcing the functionality.
He provides arguments on why several patterns can be considered deprecated. Read the book if you would like to know more about his findings.

Sure Thing. Thanks Arnold!

Good Explanation Tim!

Again, you don't actually write controller code here, as the out-of-the-box implementations are sufficient. About the only place you write controller code of your own is when you implement JSF event listeners, and clean JSF apps have few, if any of those. You can also consider Validators and Converters to be Controller code, but there's a rich stock set of those as well, so again, user-supplied function are rare here.

What I understand, a component as a "Controller" is (in the programming), a component which receives all the info, uses faces-config.xml to derive UI component, execute the appropriate helper code and receive the signal to get the next UI component and dispatch the UI. Which is what Wicket is pretty much trying to do / make people clear.

But in real world, Controller is always looked as a executable component which processes the UI's input and action. But which actually should be called as "Action Listeners" ( from a Swing's perspective lets say).

So, in overall sense when a JSF page uses a POJO means, that is pretty much an Action Listener POJO or a UI component ( say button ) POJO, which does some server processing on receiving an event ( say "login" ). Am I right in this understanding?

Guy deLyonesse wrote:Not sure I understand what you mean. Can you be a bit more specific?

Sorry about the mis-clarity.

To ask the same question in another way, to which JEE5 design pattern I can correlate the JSF framework along with Backing/managed beans and faces-config.xml's Navigation part? Will it be good enough to correlate with FrontController design pattern?

I'm trying to evaluate my design patterns to be used in my architecture. I know Front Controller can be designed to delegate work to respective Helpers. But if I leverage JSF and faces-config.xml, should I still need to worry about the Front Controller pattern, as I understand JSF also does similar work. Correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Thanks.

I have been told that the JEE patterns has been revised and some of the patterns are dropped after JEE5 evolution.

Does all the patterns listed in this page still hold good for JEE5?
