Hello Ranchers,

Today, after waiting for a long 4 weeks of time, I got the results from Oracle saying that I cleared OCMJEA Part 2 & 3 with 143/160.

It took a complete 6 months for completing all the 3 exams. I also opted for the Mandatory Training course.

A special thanks to I.C.C. Sergio Aragon who helped me a lot in clearing a lot of doubts.

A special thanks to the Java ranch Forum for providing not only doubt clarification but in terms of a lot of expert technical advices.

I wish you all the best for those who appearing for this exam.

Regards,
Vijay.

Hello Tsang,

Thanks a lot for your quick clarification..

Hello Ranchers,

I appeared for part 3 on 26 September 2015. But my result status are still being shown as TAKEN.

Any one has idea, as per oracle the status should be PENDING and then to FAIL /PASS.

I am also completed course submission form. Just wondering if I missed out something, since the status is still TAKEN rather than PENDING.


Can some one comment on this please ???

Hello,

I took Architect Enterprise Applications with Java EE platform. I am sure, this is the best suitable course from the certification point of view. Ofcourse it's pretty expensive but it is a worthwhile.

The Training had no exams. You need to examine your talent after the completion of the course, how much knowledge you gained !!!

Hello Mike,

Hello Ranchers,

As a part of my Team Doctor assignment, I changed my Domain Model in terms of Relationships (instead of 1 to *, I changed it to 0 to *) in a few places. I am not giving more detailed description here, as I strongly feel that I should not reveal the contents of the assignment. I didn't modified any other components, neither I added new.

Despite I have the valid justification why I changed, I am pretty much in dilemma since very few candidates changed the domain model and lot of replies from ranchers saying not to change the Domain Model.

Can some one advice what is the best approach ?

Regards,
Vijay.

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your valuable comments. One more question to ask. for the point 3, even I didn't mentioned the Product Names in the Deployment Diagram (except they are Oracle Products). Isn't it mean we should not mention the Softwares / Hardware Product Names we were planning to use for this assignment in the hardware / Software Requirements section ?

Please advice.
Regards,
Vijay.

Hello Gretel,

Thanks a lot. Your comments are so valuable. I will incorporate the Stereotypes in the Sequence Diagrams for the components. I opted for the Oracle products only. But saw in the ranch forum and other places where people opting for other products as well. So just thought of checking once in the forum. Coming to the showing of the diagrams in a separate HTML window, thought like that since the Sequence diagrams are a bit bigger when compared to other diagrams. Any way, I included all diagrams in 1 HTML file and added images, css folders. So finally I will be preparing a Jar which has only 1 HTML showing the complete assignment with the diagrams as well.

Thank you,
Vijaya Raghava.

Hello Ranchers,

I have been allocated with Team Doctor Assignment and I am about to prepare the jar file but I had the following questions. May I request someone to answer them ?

1. For the Sequence Diagrams part, am I suppose to add Stereotype for all of the components in the diagram ?? is it mandatory ? I added stereotype to only a few of them. But in the class diagram I mentioned stereotype for all of the classes /interfaces / JSFs. Please advice.

2.Despite being asked to provide 3 Top Risks and Mitigations, I added a few more, because I just feel important so to add them. Putting the top 3 on the top list. Please let me know if i can keep all of them as it is or else, am I need to only provide top 3.

3. Is there any strategy to be followed for selecting the type of LDAP Server, DNS Server, Load Balancer as a part of Deployment Diagram ? For a simple example, for the LDAP Server I can either opt for a Apache Directory Server or else Oracle Identity Manager (formerly SUN LDAP). Please advice.

4. Now coming to the contents of the assignment, I created only one index.html and included all the content and images inside it (of course I created separate folders for images and css ). Is it the best practice ? Why because, Sequence Diagrams are considerably bigger ones to be displayed. Will it be wise to display them in another HTML file popup when we click on the Sequence Diagram link on the index.html ? Please suggest.

Hello Folks,

Can any one tell me is there any size restriction for the OCMJEA 6 assignment jar to be uploaded to the pearsonvue site ? I had the Team Doctor assignment which I downloaded a couple of months back and now I am ready with my Jar file with 2.9 MB in size. I don't see any information on oracle site about this. From the previous posts at Javaranch I came to know that the size should not be more than 2 MB.

can any one comment on this please ?

Vijay.

I also recommend to use Star UML. You can use the Visual Paradigm for UML tool as well.

Use SAX when:
You need to scan large XML documents including: Scan huge files with little overhead.
You need more control over the parsing process: SAX does not actually do much only your program decides how anything is used, if at all.
You have limited system resources: SAX does not create many objects.
You need high performance: SAX quickly locates elements within any size XML document.


Use DOM when:
You need to make multiple processing passes over an XML document and no need to rescan the document on each pass
You need to merge several XML documents together. Here the structures can be the same or different
You need to do a lot with document content including: Sharing content with other processes, Frequent access of content
You need to modify document…including Content or Structure or Order

Hello Swaroop,

You can use XMLSpy to convert an XSD to an XML.

In the XMLSpy you can generate XSD based on XML. Go to main menu -> DTD/Schema -> Generate DTD/Schema... and follow the steps.

To have a broader picture of what are the validation errors you may expect to receive, you can use an Eclipse IDE or any other tool which has a capability of handling XML files ( Rational Application Developer or MyEclipse or XMLSpy etc.) and place respective DTD or Schema or even simply the XML. And you can validate the XML by right clicking on the xml file. The IDE will validate the XML and provide you the success / warning or Error messages upon validating the XML.
