Thanks Muhammad - the candidate guide does say that the first exam can be any one - Oracle 9i SQL or Oracle SQL & PL/SQL!
Thanks Sunny - I am already a member of OTN.
Rishi - I am sorry, but I too do not know why two different exams and whether PL/SQL is covered later as I haven't gone through the objectives in detail.

Hi:
One solution for emailing HTML forms is to use Java Mail. For this two jar files are required - one named mail.jar from java mail and another named activation.jar from Java Activation Framework(JAF). These two can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/index.html . More information can be obtained by following FAQ link of this page.
After proper installtion, you can display the html form using JSP and use Java Bean to extract the form fields. Then you may write another JSP for sending the mail. This JSP should ideally be doing the following:
1) Get the values of the form fields using the same Java Bean (discussed above)
2) Create a new session for sending mail
3) Create a new message and set the values for relevant fields such as To, From etc., and format the message body using the setText method.
4) Send the message
Many links to articles on using Java Mail are available on the same url given in first paragraph.
Hope this is helpful.

Hi,
The following statements are not clear to me


After changing context path in server.xml - has no effect. I still need to include it in the path.


However I have explained below the addition of a new context to server.xml:
To add a context for c:\Tomcat4\webapps\webapp1, you have to add the following in server.xml at the appropriate place.
<Context path="/webapp1" docBase="webapp1" debug="0" reloadable="true">
</Context>
Then restart/start tomcat server and access the files in webapp1 using "/webapp1" prefix. That is, to access a file say, send.jsp, use [URL=http://localhost:no/webapp1/send.jsp, where no is the port number to which tomcat server has been configured to listen.
Hope this helps.

Yes, you can take either of these two.
9i SQL exam is cheaper (US$ 90), while the other one is US$125.


That is a news to me! I remember seeing two different exam codes for the first exam on two different pages of Oracle site; but then thought that was a mistake! Any idea, why two exams with different objectives and different costs?
By the way, will SQL exam alone be sufficient or will PL/SQL knowledge be tested in other exams?
Thanks a lot for sharing the information about two exams!

Hi:
>>I was expecting to find getCharacterEncoding() on the ServletRequest and setCharacterEncoding(...) on the ServletResponse......
It sounds quite logical to expect ServletRequest interface to have getCharacterEncoding() only and ServletResponse interface to have a similar method for setting charset, say setCharacterEncoding(String var).
As we know, ServletRequest has setCharacterEncoding(String env) method inaddtion to getCharacterEncoding(). The spec gives a good reason for including setCharacterEncoding(String env) in ServletRequest interface.
If the client (i.e browser) does not send a character encoding qualifier, it is upto the container to decide the character encoding and the container uses the default encoding (ISO-8859-I). Here, if the request data is encoded with a different encoding other than the default, breakage occurs. To avoid this, setCharacterEncoding method has been added so that the devloper can override the character encoding suppiled by the container by calling this method. And, this method should be called before any input is read from the request.
Now coming to ServletResponse, for getting the character encoding it has getCharacterEncoding() and for setting charset, it has the following two methods.
setContentType(String type) - here type is the MIME type
setLocale(Locale loc) - loc is the locale of the response
Hope this is clear,
Gaja Venkat

Thanks. But that book-set is also by Jason Couchman! Looks like his books are the only available books now for Oracle 9i DBA exam preparation! I do not know how good STS (Self Test Software)would be.
