The following APIs and facilities may not be used:
Enterprise JavaBeans
Servlets, JSP technology, or any other web-oriented APIs
NIO, the New IO facilities
Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) and SQL
Java IDL API and CORBA
Third party software libraries or tools (such as browsers)
Is this now out of date? Do you get instructions that allow NIO when you download the assignment?

I wouldn't like to make such a major change before submission, indeed.

Hi all,
Is the java.nio package alone is restricted or all other packages that starts with java.nio.channels, java.nio.charset etc are prohibited?
If all are restricted, then we cannot use FileChannel right?
Please clarify me.

Hi Satish,
If you have your heart set on using FileChannel I wouldn't abandon that hope until we hear some confirmation from Sun. However, I think it's true to state that NIO is not required for the assignment, and if the document quoted above is to be believed, it's certainly not recommended either.
Hope this helps,
George

Use of Standard Elements
Use of functionality provided by the core Java classes will be preferred to your own implementation of that functionality, unless there is a specific advantage to providing your own implementation.
Restrictions on RMI
To avoid unnecessary complexity in the marking environment certain restrictions are placed on solutions that use RMI. Specifically:
# You must not require the use of an HTTP server.
# You must not require the installation of a security manager.
# You must provide all classes pre-installed so that no dynamic class downloading occurs.
# You must use RMI over JRMP (do not use IIOP)
The user interface for this assignment must satisfy the following criteria:
* It must be composed exclusively with components from the Java Foundation Classes (Swing components).
Dear Sun,
Can I use NIO (the new Java IO facilities) in coding my SCJD project?
My assignment instructions do not explicitly prohibit using NIO, but I noticed the following posted at the Sun site (http://suned.sun.com/US/catalog/courses/CX-310-252A.html) that seems to prohibit using NIO:
Can I use NIO or not?
Thanks for your assistance.

We want someone to announce it here so we can explode for a few days before finally contacting Sun and giving them our constructive feedback. You know like: please run your own dropDead(System.currentTimeMillis) method please!
