Hi, Ron:
Thank you very much for your reply!!! I think your method works to my above example. Can I further ask another question, is it possible if the value is not merely number, like the following:
To select from:
<test>
<scan>1a</scan>
<scan>2a</scan>
<scan>3a</scan>
<scan>4a</scan>
<scan>5a</scan>
</test>
to get the following:
<test>
<scan>1a</scan>
<scan>2a</scan>
<scan>3a</scan>
</test>
using 4a as the criteria?
Thanks again for your reply!

Dear all:
Is it possible to select a range of node using XSLT, for example, for the following XML:
<test>
<scan>1</scan>
<scan>2</scan>
<scan>3</scan>
<scan>4</scan>
<scan>5</scan>
</test>
How to select all scan element with text value less than 4. In other word, I want to select
<scan>1</scan>
<scan>2</scan>
<scan>3</scan>
by knowing incoming parameter value as 4.
Any help, thanks in advance.

Hi, Val:
If you like, you can have a look at my Mock Exam Engine, it is a general purposed mock exam engine. Now it only contains exam data for SCJP2, but can be configured for other mock exam.

Keep it up!

Yes, Dan Chisholm, I have noticed that and just wondering what to do with it and saw your this reply.
I will modify the URL immediately in my mock exam list.

Thank you for creating a link to my mock exam. However, I noticed that you linked directly to the June 28 revision rather than the home page. Since the lifetime of each revision is very short, that link will die very soon.
The home page is really the only stable URL so it is the only safe place to link to. For example, the homepage no longer includes the June 28 link and I will probably remove the files from the geocities server before long.
Thank you,
Dan

Congratulations, Dongqing!

to know if it is necessary to go through the JLS before. Many don't even mention this when they suggest how to prepare for the exam.
Thank you for your input.

Dear srinath :
Can you please say something more about

The latest application servers like wlserver,websphere, HP AS dont require for deploying again and again as they all use dynamic deployment.

Since I really don't understand how the app server can know the updated EJB without redeploying them!
TIA.

Dear Karl:
Thank you so much for your reply! I got better idea of what I should do now!
Thanks again!

Yes your custom finders will all need to be re-written - but the EJBql is fairly similar to SQL in many respects so as long as you werent using too many sophisticated SQL functions the changes will be mostly template and easy to make
