HFSJ mock exam question 56

[rich dubois]

Hi,

The question is

56. Which of the following is the least likely to make or receive network calls?

A jdni server
B transfer object
c service locator
d front controller
e. intercepting filter

The answer given was B. Why wouldn't answer e, intercepting filters, be correct?

Thanks

Hi Rich,

I have never seen the question, but I must say that it is tricky one.
All I can think of is that the Intercepting Filter receives the Request from a client over the network.

this question is in terms of the Remote Object which is accessed by the business delegate each time in the view (jsp using el) we access a property of that remote object.

thus what the transfer object does is, it is a local copy of the remote object, and thus the network calls are minimized.

Hi Rohan,

I think we all agree that the Transfer Object is one that doesn't make or receive network calls. The question of Rich was: why is the Intercepting Filter not a good answer.

Thanks Fritz and Rohan!!

Both of your answers were helpful and I see the validity in the answer.

PS Fritz thanks to you and all of the others who suggested the Enthuware mock exams, they are very much worth the $29, they are filling a lot of the cracks of my understanding and reinforcing the existing knowledge
