Hello to everybody.
This friday I'm taking the test 252. To study, I've corrected the Primer test from the IBM certification site. I think all answers should be correct, if someone disagrees with any answer just tell it and I will correct it.
I hope you enjoy it!!








Item 1 of 54
Which of the following is the MOST accurate description of how the "Single" application class loader policy functions?
A. A single application class loader is used to load all EJBs, utility JARs, and shared libraries within the application server JVM.
B.An application class loader first delegates the loading of classes to its parent class loader before attempting to load the class from its local class path.
C. The class loader attempts to load classes from its local class path before delegating the class loading to its parent.
D. A single application class loader is used to load only the utility JARs and Web modules within the application server JVM.


ANSWER:A
When the application class loader policy is set to Single, a single application class loader is used to load all EJBs, utility JARs, and shared libraries within the application server (JVM). If the WAR class loader policy then has been set to Application, the Web module contents for this particular application are also loaded by this single class loader.
When the application class loading policy is set to Multiple, the default, each application will receive its own class loader for loading EJBs, utility JARs, and shared libraries. Depending on whether the WAR class loader loading policy is set to Module or Application, the Web module might or might not receive its own class loader.

Item 2 of 54
After federating a custom node, an examination of the entries in a log file shows an "INSTCONFFAIL" indicator which denotes a complete failure. All of the following can be contributors to the failure EXCEPT:
A. the deployment manager is not running.
B. the node agent failed to start.
C. security was enabled.
D. a reserved name was used for the node name.


ANSWER:D
If the deployment manager is not running the federation won�t even start, so it cannot be A. If the node agent fails the synchronization between node and cell will also fail and therefore federation will fail, so it cannot be B. If security is enabled and the proper authentication data is not provided federation will fail, son it cannot be B. I don�t know any reserved name and it cannot be any of the other answers, so the correct answer is D.


Item 3 of 54
A Java client is residing in a client container. The Java client needs to make a request to the EJB container of an application server in a distributed cell. Which of the following protocols is MOST appropriate for the client request?
A. JDBC
B. RMI/IIOP
C. SOAP
D. HTTP(S)


ANSWER:B
Although SOAP can be utilized to access EJB since EJB 2.1, RMI/IIOP is the primary protocol to access EJB services, so it�s answer B. JDBC is an java API for database accessing and HTTP is a communication protocol.

Item 5 of 54
When using local session management, which of the following configuration settings could cause the loss of user session objects?
A. If HTTP Persistence connections are not used
B.If the Allow overflow property setting is not enabled
C. If Memory-to-memory replication is not configured
D. If the datasource used by the session database is not defined


ANSWER:B
If the �Allow overflow� property is not set we would lose user session objects if we reach the session memory limit, so the answer is B. Answer A is not relevant and answers C and D refer to distributed session management, not local session management .

Item 7 of 54
A system administrator wants to implement the Upstream Queuing model to improve performance. Which of the following adjustments MUST be made?
A. Set the all cluster members to have the same JVM heap size.
B. Tune each Web container to have a smaller queue than the Web server.
C.Tune the queues to decrease in size from the Web server to the backend resource.
D.Tune the queues to increase in size from the Web server to the backend resource.


ANSWER:C
In general, requests wait in the network in front of the Web server, rather than waiting in WebSphere Application Server. This configuration only supports those requests that are ready for processing to enter the queuing network. Specify that the queues furthest upstream or closest to the client are slightly larger, and queues further downstream or furthest from the client are progressively smaller.

Item 43 of 54
The Servlet 2.4 specification requires that an HTTP session honor session affinity. In a clustered environment, a cluster member could possibly fail. Which of the following mechanisms is used to ensure session affinity?
A.Database session persistence
B.Memory-to-memory replication
C.Web Server plug-in
D.Replication Domain


Answer:C
Reference: WebSphere Application Server has functionality in the HTTP Server plug-in to help with session affinity. The plug-in reads the cookie data (or encoded URL) from the browser and helps direct the request to the appropriate application or clone based on the assigned session key. This functionality increases use of the in-memory cache and reduces hits to the database or another WebSphere Application Server instance

Hi again!
I'm happy to announce that I passed the exam last Friday . It wasn�t excessively difficult for me because I already had the 5.0 cert and I work with websphere, although it wasn�t easy.

Things you have to know, based on the exam I did:
-Profiles concepts
-Federation process
-Lot of High Availability (Web and EJB container)
-Log settings (JVM logs and trace settings) and debug settings
These are the topics I can remember. Also, I was surprised because there were almost no questions on Asynchronous Messaging.

My personal advice is to study specially the Red Book �WebSphere Application Server V6 System Management & Configuration Handbook� (sg246451). The other Red Books aren�t so much important, but it doesn�t mean you can forget it.

I think that experience on WebSphere is really important for this exam. The J2EE standard is so big and there are so many settings to configure in Websphere that I opine that is really difficult to remember if you haven�t spend enough time fighting against it. I don�t want to discourage anybody, but first play hard with it then start to think in the certification. I�ve got 12 certifications on the Windows world and I think they can be studied without experience, in fact I did it, but I�m not so sure about this one.

Goog luck to everyone!!

Hi Miquel,congrats for the hard work.btw,may i know your score?
I think the answer to this question is C not B.as war file is considered as a module not a file.

Item 13 of 54
A WAR file in an enterprise application has been changed. How can a system administrator update it on the server with a minimal amount of work?
A. Re-package the EAR file using Application Server Toolkit then use the "Update -> Full application" function on the administrative console.
B. Use the "Update -> Single file" function of the Administrative console to replace the WAR file.
C. Use the "Update -> Single module" of the Administrative console to replace the WAR file.
D. Use the "Update -> Partial application" of the Administrative console to replace the WAR file.


please miquel clarify this part.
thanks
