SCWCD Exam Tips

[Megha Audichya]

Hi Ranchers

Recently I passed out SCWCD with 92%, thanks to Kathy, Bert and Bryan.

I want to share some exam tips to the ones heading for SCWCD.

For all SCWCD test takers, there is a mock exam list I am including in this posting. I spent a lot of time collecting the information about mock exams, so I have compiled the list here. I hope it helps.

Exam Tips

There is plenty of time to take the exam so take it patiently

Exam is simpler than the mock exam given at the end of HFSJ

Choices are very direct. Since number of correct answers is already mentioned in the question, it makes the question easier.

read the "Head First Servlets and Jsp" thoroughly and it prepares you 90% for the exam.

Do not forget to read JSTL Documentation (on Sun site) + DTD for web.xml and tag library.

Good Luck to all SCWCD takers.

[Srinivasan Rengan]

Hey Megha,
Congrats for your score!

I am writing the exam this month end..
I am preparing from HFSJ and offcourse Java Ranch.
I am not so comfortable in custom tags. How are questions on custom tags appearing in the exam. Are they direct or just like the questions in HFSJ(tough)...?

Thanks in advance...

[Megha Audichya]

Hi Srinivasan

I hope I m not too late to reply to your question.
Well, questions on Custom tags were a li'l tricky but I guess HFSJ and the mock exams help you to get through those questions.

I hope it helps.
All the best.

- Megha

[Srinivasan Rengan]

Thanks a lot Megha, for your knowledge sharing reply.
I am still not comfortable in custom tags (God, please help me in that!!),
which I am preparing again and again

Apart from that, its ok.

Thanks a lot for your information!

hey guys the links are broken. can somebody send the tips to my email. [e-mail]

[Chanakya Gupta]

Hi Ranchers,

Passed SCWCD(OCPJWCD), today(76%), tested at PearsonVue. Experience was good. Exam went on
smoothly. Future aspirants may be glad to know that, found the SCWCD easier than SCJP. And much
shorter(finished with 57 minutes left)

Passed the exam thanks to HFS&J(KS,BB,BB), Enthuware, MarcusGreen, NikoJava, MikalaiZaikin,
JavaRanch, the animated ppt about Listener interfaces, animated ppt about TLD file acronyms,
each one of you guys mentioned here are great. Respect you for your work. Thankyou once again.

For all SCWCD aspirants -
1. Go through as many links as possible from the ScwcdMockTests here, and
2. HeadFirstServlets&JSPs(2ndEdition) book.

Congrants.. i have to question i hope you can help me..

<security-constraint>
  <web-collection>
          some stuff..
  </web-collection>
  <auth-constraint/> //Nobody
   <auth-constraint><role-name>*</role-name><auth-constraint> //Everybody
</security-constraint>

who have access to resource with some stuff??

if i declare a Tag with. a empty body(TLD) and i return EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE or EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED.

What happens? nothing or a exception??

thanks a lot
best regards from Venezuela.
sorry by my poor english.

[Chanakya Gupta]

Hello Cristian,

Good questions, thank you for asking !

1. Answer to the first question could be,

Nobody wins, (nobody allowed access)
BUT, it is invalid to put two

<auth-constraint/>
<auth-constraint><role-name>*</role-name></auth-constraint>

elements in the same

<security-constraint>

2. Answer to the second question could be,

In the TLD, you have

<body-content>empty</body-content>

In the jsp, you must have,

<my:cltag></my:cltag> //empty tag

Body is evaluated ONLY if(see lifecycle of Classic Tag),
1. <body-content> is not 'empty' AND
2. tag is NOT invoked with an empty body, AND
3. doStartTag() method returns EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE

1 and 2 above fail in our example.
Body is not evaluated. doEndTag() runs,
returns EVAL_PAGE(default).
There is NO exception thrown.

Hope am able to answer your queries !

hi my question was wrong. the right question may be..

i have two

<security-constraint>

pointing to the same web resource in one

<security-constraint>

i have

<auth-constraint><role-name>*<role-name></auth-constraint>

in other i have

<security-constraint>

i have

<auth-constraint/></security-constraint>

who have access to myresource..

[Chanakya Gupta]

Hi Cristian,

It is my pleasure to answer, .
About <auth-constraint> :

Got your query,

With same <url-pattern>, but different <auth-constraint>
1. access allowed ----- <role-name>*</role-name>
vs
2. access prevented ---- <auth-constraint/>
Who wins ? 1 or 2 ?

The winner is NOBODY. 2 wins.
Access is prevented.

[Stoian Azarov]

Just some more info directly from specification:
Servlet 3.0 Specification, 13.8.1 Combining Constraints

The combination of authorization constraints that name roles or that imply roles via
the name “*” shall yield the union of the role names in the individual constraints as
permitted roles. A security constraint that does not contain an authorization
constraint shall combine with authorization constraints that name or imply roles to
allow unauthenticated access. The special case of an authorization constraint that
names no roles shall combine with any other constraints to override their affects and
cause access to be precluded.

[Cristian Daniel Ortiz Cuellar]

Thanks Guys God Bless.
Is Clear Now..

Hi Cristian,

The ScwcdMockTests link at javaranch.com should be the best bet
for latest links of Mock Tests. All links here are working and found
