Passed SCJD with (385/400)

Hi All,

After 33 days of my essay-exam, It was 00:30 here and I just had a look at certmanager scraper,
found a new line … scjd is passed

. It took months of reading, writing, designing, testing and
burning midnight oil.

My scorecard says
General Con: 100 92
Documentation: 70 70
OOD: 30 30
GUI: 40 33
Locking: 80 80
Data Store: 40 40
Network Server: 40 40
Total: 400 385

I am thankful to all those for inspiration, guidance and support, to name a few

Andrew for the book

Cathy and Bert for giving the start

Roberto for his data locking test case

Roel for his submission jar test case and Ant script

Tsang and many other ranchers for excellent stuffs in Javaranch

The story starts with downloading the sun’s interface and cramming Andrew’s book. Initially I gone for
a prototype and later did 3 levels of major enhancements to it. Every time I felt application is improving.
I choose for a 3-tier architecture (Presentation-Business-Data) and used patterns Façade, Adapter,
Singleton, Value Object, Observable and factory.

A basic outline of my attempt
Data class

My Interfaces are used to cover up RMI

File reading is dynamic

Reused deleted record numbers

Treated a row as record, hasn’t gone much for a room object

GUI

Used menus, tooltips, message dialogs, status bar

Search in two modes (Name-Location & Any Filed)

Validation on TextFields after entry

Used customized table model

Network

I preferred RMI

Generated stubs just to be on safer side

Used a remote and local interfaces

Others

Have a business service

Client knows only business-exceptions

Haven’t gone after the 48 hours rule

I have used Eclipse, Junit, Checkstyle, Sun doc check, Ant and Visual source safe (I don’t have a cvs

)

Probably I lost points in general consideration due to the reason that, my design choices was big, 800 lines

and I added a class diagram. Another reason might be because I messed up somewhere with coding standards
as well

.
GUI section loss of points might be due to a toggling visibility search panel, for two search modes.
or because of an Observable for listening to gui updates.

Kind Regards,
Naveen Narayanan

Howdy, champion!

I'm really happy for you! Congratulations!!!

Congratz!!!

Congratulations!

Congrats and you can party

Hi Naveen,

Congratulations with a great score!

All the waiting finally paid off

As a side note: I also used an Observable in my GUI, so I would be surprised if you lost some points because of that.

Kind regards,
Roel

Thanks Roel and all,
If Observable doesn't prove costly, then another fault might be
I have made a fancy about-box using JEditorPane and setting content-type to "text/html"

That could be the price you have to pay for adding things that are not required at all

Congrats Naveen
