SCEA Question answer confirmation

[Rajan Choudhary]

Q1 -- Your organization is interested in building an application that will allow users to query and read volumes of statistical data for analysis. They anticipate high volumes of traffic and want the most scalable solution. This application will be distributed in a cluster and deployed as an enterprise archive. Components should be designed so that they can be accessed remotely by other Java applications.

A. Servlet accessed using HTTP.
B. Message-driven bean accessed using JMS.
C. Stateless session bean accessed using RMI.
D. Stored procedures and DAO's.

I am very positive that correct answer is "C" due to the scalability, clustering & distributed & pure java clients but the correct answer is shown as D in epractise of Oracle. Am I missing something?


Q2--- Elimination of the majority of required interfaces for persistent entities. To me this statement is true in the context of EJB3 architecture. what do you say?

Q3- Which is the correct design pattern to avoid having lots of conditional statements? My understanidn says builder but the correct answer is presented as abstract factory. DO you agree?

Q4- Does the real SCEA part 1 exam tell us, how many correct options need to be selected? Like choose any 2 or 3 etc

Seems like C to me. Stateless sBeans address scalability, and RMI addresses remote access for external Java apps.

Q3- Which is the correct design pattern to avoid having lots of conditional statements? My understanidn says builder but the correct answer is presented as abstract factory. DO you agree?

Abstract Factory makes sense, as it eliminates the chained/nested instanceof™ phenomenon.

Rajan,
Where did this question come from? We ask people to cite their sources for mock exam questions.

#4 - yes, you will be told how many correct answers there are on the real exam

from ePractise of Oracle. What is your opinion about the answer?

I go with answer C. I don't think answer D quite takes care of the non functional and other requirements mentioned in the question.

The perfect answer would be C + D.
C because is about scalable and remoting, and D because DAO is the best choise when the amount of data is expensive and the query are complicated like analysis query.
So a real architect would implement a SLSB that uses a DAO.

Well, the question says, only one correct answer so I was thinking about C due the scalability and deployment of ear within a cluster.

If they mean a cluster of DB servers then deployment of ear does not make any sense.

Now coming to C+D approaches, I kind of disagree because question clearly says scalability by clustering so if scalability is achieved in EJB side within app servers and if you try to use stored procs and DB servers are not clustered then you might not achieve the real goal.

Correct answer is C

Yes, they specify how many answers should be chosen

[Rajan Choudhary]

Thank you all for confirming. The answer in ePractise test is wrong. I was just going thru sample questions on Oracle site and the correct answer is listed as "C".
