Hi,

Can anyone let me know the answer of this question. Thanks in advance.

Which of the following listeners are not configured in the deployment descriptor? Select two choices.

a. ServletContextListener
b. ServletContextAttributesListener
c. HttpSessionAttributeListener
d. HttpSessionActivationListener
e. HttpSessionBindingListener
f. HttpSessionListener

HttpSessionBindingListener.

Correct options are D and E. Like HttpSessionBindingListener, there's no need to configure the HttpSessionActivationListener implementation class in the DD.

According to Head First Servlets and JSP, HttpSessionActivationListener must be registered in the DD because it is directly related to the session and not to an attribute. (2nd Ed. Page 256). HttpSessionBindingListener does not need to be registered.

Please check the errata list of your favorite book.

the errata :
[b]
Change the title to "You do NOT configure ALL session listeners in the DD!"[/b]


looks confusing. At first glance, i take it that ALL session listeners do not need any DD configuration!

HttpSessionActivationListener
HttpSessionBindingListener

These two listeners do not need to be configured in the deployment descriptor.

Here's an excerpt taken from David Bridgewater's post in javaranch (https://coderanch.com/t/170002/Web-Component-Certification-SCWCD/certification/HttpSessionActivationListener-configured-DD)
A part of the API doc for HttpSessionActivationListener:
"Objects that are bound to a session may listen to container events notifying them that sessions will be passivated and that session will be activated. A container that migrates session between VMs or persists sessions is required to notify all attributes bound to sessions implementing HttpSessionActivationListener."
It's the objects that do the listening (not the container) - so no need for a DD entry.

For the 2nd you know the answer.
