I got it from John:

I wrote Sun with this very question, because I found the 18 months thing very confusing.

Below is the main answer I got:

"While certification exams, such as the SCJP 1.4 and SCJP 5.0, are designed to test for specific versions of Java, the SCJD assignment is designed to be completed using a current version of Java. You may actually use either Java SE 5.0 or 6.0 for the SCJD assignment.. Java SE 6.0 was released December 11, 2006, so Java SE 5.0 may be used for the SCJD assignment until June 11, 2008."

Thank a lot!

So, can I take the exam of part I (310-051) of old SCEA on this April, 15th, 2008?

After that I can complete part II & III of old SCEA before Dec, 31th, 2008.

Thanks,

Hi,
I see, I will use the "fixed recNo number" solution for the simple.
For ex:
Start:
0x00 : row0
0x00 : row1
0x00 : row2

Delete recNo = 0:
0xFF : row0
0x00 : row1
0x00 : row2

Delete recNo = 0, one more time:
throws RecordNotFoundException.

Create a new row:
0x00 : row0
0x00 : row1
0x00 : row2
then return the recNo = 0 (reuse the deleted row).

Get the total (active) row = total_rows - deleted_rows.

Is it the good choice?
Thanks,
Long
Hi,

There is still a confusion, the "recNo" value.

For example: at the first time, there're 3 records in the data file.
0x00 : row0
0x00 : row1
0x00 : row2

If the "read(2)" method were call it will return the row2 value.

Then the row0 was deleted, the data file is :
0xFF : row0
0x00 : row1
0x00 : row2

If the "read(2)" method were call, again, it will return the row2 value or RecordNotFoundException?

If the row2 was return, then the total rows is 3 (0-2) it's incorrect because the row0 was deleted.

If the RecordNotFoundException was return, then there has a confusion because the row2 is still there.

So is there any solution for this issue?
Thanks,
Long
If we really want to know that information with some good reasons, for example a person who're living in a very poor contry in Africa and he/she coulds get all java certs, will Sun willing to let he/she know that he/she is the first one who can do that in his/her coutry? so he/she could get more benefits from that event.

Will Sun alwayls support their fan?
May I ask Sun that information directly?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Long

Hi All,
I would like to know how many persons who owns :
1 cert: SCJP?
2 certs: SCJP, SCJD?
....
7 certs: SCJP, SCJD, SCWCD, SCBCD, SCDJWS, SCMAD, SCEA?

so is there any data for that?
I think Sun knows that information, but I'm not sure it is public or not?

I'm also not sure this is the right place to ask this question? If not please move it to the more suitable place.

Thanks,
Long

Hi,
I think, someone should asks Sun about this problem for sure, we shouldn't be failed because of it.
For me, I think it's a bug of the assignment.

Thanks,
Long Nguyen

Hi Pradip Bhat,
-----
Long Ng ,
Why are collecting the data ? Is it for some news paper?
-----
It's a duplicate question, please read above.
Anyway, I collect it for all who wants to know it.

Thanks,
Long

Hi,

Yes, I agree. Your ability is the most important, certs are good if you got them.

But I'm working in a company with these rules:
if you got SCJP you will be paid more 1% of your salary.
if you got SCJD you will be paid more 3% of your salary.
if you got SCWCD you will be paid more 2% of your salary.
if you got SCBCD you will be paid more 2% of your salary.
if you got SCDJWS you will be paid more 2% of your salary.
if you got SCMAD you will be paid more 2% of your salary.
if you got SCEA you will be paid more 5% of your salary.

Total is 17% of salary more, you see, I have a reason, right.
My boss is a java guy and he undestands the value of those certs, I hope there are more.

OK, Ok... there were a lots of kind of payment.

So I feel very happy if you read my post then think that:
IF there is a person with these skills:
------------------
His/her experience : 7 years working in Java.
His/her Java CERTIFICATES : SCJP, SCJD, SCWCD, SCBCD and SCEA. (SCDJWS & SCMAD will be gotten in next 9 months).
His/her position : Technical/Software Architect or Project Manager.
His/her degree : BA
Projects worked on: Mary (200+ persons) from IBM based on J2EE, Peter (150+ persons) from Nortel based on J2EE, about 2 or 3 projects more like that.
------------------

I guess/think His/her salary may be :
------------------
US = $xxx/month +/- 10%.
Singapo = $xxx/month +/- 10%.
India = $xxx/month +/- 10%.
China = $xxx/month +/- 10%.
Vietnam = $xxx/month +/- 10%.
------------------

I need that xxx$ information please don't go too fast and too far.
Many Thanks,
Long

Hi,
So for sure, I will NOT use the set Look&Feel in my assignment,
just let it uses the default.

Is is possible?
Thanks,
Long
Hi sanjay patel,

------------
If you are collecting this data for the future then there is a mismatch, as the salaries in discussion are the current salary, but you may reach there at the mentioned position after some XX years and at that time the salary would be different ( + / -).
-----------
I have said that I'm not collecting salary information for my own, it's for those who wants to know it.
And at least I have some data to compare when I really get a job like that.

Hi Peter Sin,

------------
There are a lot of ranchers here owned these certificates, maybe not all but nearly all. Employer/interviewer said to me, they would employ a "right person" who has a lot of large project experience rather than a lot of "papers".
-----------
I agreed with you,
I have update his/her resume like that,
------------------
His/her experience : 7 years working in Java.
His/her Java CERTIFICATES : SCJP, SCJD, SCWCD, SCBCD and SCEA. (SCDJWS & SCMAD will be gotten in next 9 months).
His/her position : Technical/Software Architect or Project Manager.
His/her degree : BA
Projects worked on: Mary (200+ persons) from IBM based on J2EE, Peter (150+ persons) from Nortel based on J2EE, about 2 or 3 projects more like that.
------------------

And I have said that there were a lot situtions for payment, so please let us know the salary for his/her in general only.

Thanks,
Long

Hi velanvel,
I will let you know later, not now.
How many certs which I own is not important, now, just focus on my salary information collecting, instead of my personal info.
In general, 5 certs and 7 in next 9 months.

Thanks,
Long
