Thanks Namit,

I had a preparation time of a month.

Whizlab simulator is very helpful during preparation. After using the simulator you start preparing and studying from a exam point of view.

So I would suggest it.

Ahmad




Congrats Ahmad
Glad that the exam simulator was useful

I remember some exam prep notes for XML by Vijay ( not sure about the name). I cant find them, can any one provide me the link.

Thanks

You dont have to know alot about XML security for test 141. The XML certification Success article (Part 1) covers enough about security to help you answer questions regarding security.

Here is the link:

I was asked this question in SourceN technologies interview



XSLt is used for transforming(converting) XMl files into other XMl files, or HTML files or to text files.

Depending upon the recieving application, the output will differ. If the application is a web browser, you might most probably convert XML using XSLT to HTML.

Hi Taurean,

here are the chapters that you might want to concentrate on:
2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10, 11, 12, 16, 20, 24

These cover almost all concepts other than security!!

Hi Frnds,

I tried a DTD with ID. In this I'm not able to store the numeric value.Its showing error that the ID value should obey the naming convention.




Is it mean that i can't store the numbers in ID ???

- Thanks,
Senthil.



The value for DTD id attribute has to follow the standard XML naming rules (has to eb a valid XML name) and one of the rules is
"A name cannot start with a number or punctuation character"

Thsi is one great drawback of using DTD

Please advice me soon

thanks in advance



Did u viist the links given at the top of this forum page ?

Answers for most of these questions, have been answered several times over in the past 2 months

looking at the posts for the last 100 days , you should be able to get the answerr(You can make out the relevant post by looking at the subject and u dont have to go through them ..and there are not many posts either over the last 100 days !!

Doing a search on the forum with "help" will also fetch u good results..

Good luck for the exam
Lets take an example :-)

And lets assume that we are considering the book node to be the selected node

Originally posted by senthil rajan:


child::*



will select only <title>, <name>, <price>

Originally posted by senthil rajan:


descendant::*



will select <title>, <name>, <first>, <last>,<price>

"child" will select only immediate child elements (that are directly under book element)

"descendant" will slect all elemnts under <book> irrespective of how deep they are nested !!

Hope that helps

If i wanted to have an attribute for title , say ISBN which refers to book no, how do i specify it? Is the declaration below correct?

<! ATTLIST title ISBN IDREF #REQUIRED >


It is perfect


How does the parser know which ID the above decl references?

I am also assuming that a single element can have two attributes that are unique. How do we then use IDREF to refer to a particular unique attribute?



According to the DTD specifications, there may be only ONE ID attribute for each element type

So I guess that the DTD parser would know which one to look for

Hope that helps
