Hi all,

Just gave the SCWCD and passed (whew!) with 95%. The score is way beyond my wildest dreams (especially since I just about managed to pass the HFSJ mock). The real thing test is very straight-forward.

Actually, only 3-4 questions are tough, and that too because of some arcane wording. Rest assured most of the questions are very very ordinary, no trick stuff.

Drag and drop is OK. Sad part about Drag-and-drop is that you can't review the answers. If you choose to go inside you need to answer again.

I used HFSJ and the SCWCD study kit, and came here very often. Both the books are really useful. HFSJ is great for committing something to memory the first time, while the study kit is wonderful as a mini-reference + last minute revision.

In retrospect, it was really nice to have studied for, and passed, the exam. I've worked on Java/JSP/Struts for some time now, but had it not been for the SCWCD, I would never have learnt so much.

Hope the other aspirants clear the test as well....

Regards,
Prasad
Hi all,

I have a couple of doubts related to servlets/JSPs:

1. What is the exact sequence in which various web-app components are loaded (i.e. filters, listeners, context, servlets, etc...).

2. How are HTTP methods resolved for direct client calls to JSPs? For instance, if I do POST from a page to a JSP, how does the container know that it is to use doPost when none is explicitly implemented?

3. Can someone post the grammar / Regular Expression rules (if either exists) used for matching the input URL to servlet mappings?

Thanks and Regards,
Prasad
1.
By default, EL is enabled in JSP 2. This means that an EL expression in my JSP should evaluate just fine without mentioning anything anywhere in the DD or directives.

My problem is it doesn't seem to work that way. I'm using Eclipse with Lomboz plugin and Tomcat 5.5. The stuff works OK when I explicitly enable EL using the isELIgnored directive.
Any takes on this?

Thanks in advance and regards,
Prasad
Hi all,

Please let me know if the following statement is true or false (and of course, why)

If a.equals(b), then a.getClass == b.getClass()

{ I think it is true i checked out some examples as well, but the Whizlabs simulator disagrees }

Thanks and Regards,
Prasad
