Hi friends,
I'm first time visitor for this site.
I want some immediate help from all persons involved in XML or
FORTE related work.
I got two job offers from two companies. one is working in FORTE
and other is on XML. now I can't decide which one to choose bcoz
I dont know anything about XML or FORTE.
I'm a SUN CERTIFIED JAVA PROGRAMMER with 92% score. basically I
am a computer engineer having completed my BE just 2 months back.
as I am a SCJP, I wan to work in Java, but I've heard from many working persons that no company will give me work directly on Java (bcoz I am a fresher )
so what should I do now ?
please help me.
Thanks,
Ravindra

Hi Mirko,
congrats for a great score !!!
you have done a very good job.
congrats again
Ravindra..

congrats sanjeet,
it is a really big score. and that too despite of such tough questions. In comparison to you, I've got a bit easy set of questions.
But one thing is common, question are very much confusing.
and if you lose ur attention for just a second, then u can lost one question(thats what I've done in my exam due to illness.)
anyway, it is very thrilling to think that we are SCJP now.
congrats again and best wishes for a happy future

h ifriends,
its me again. actually I've to give the exam on 22nd of this month. thats why this continuous list of questions.
this time 2 questions from khalid's mock exam
1. we want ot print the last argument given on command line. alternatively, exit gracefully if there is nop argument.
code is here :
public static void main(String a[]) {
try {
System.out.println(a[a.length - 1]);
}
catch {NullPointerException e) {}
}

the answer saya that this code will not do the work. and an uncaught ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException will occur if no argument is there.
is it correct ?
2. what is the result of following method invocation ?
gfx.drawRect(5,5,10,10);
a. Rectangle will have a total width of 5 pixels.
b. Rectangle will have a total width of 6 pixels.
c. Rectangle will have a total width of 10 pixels.
d. Rectangle will have a total width of 11 pixels.

answer given is (D)
rectangle will have a total width of 11 pixels.
is it correct ?
please help me.
thanks in advance.

hi friends,
one doubt from RHE chap6, page 178
"Each parent class method may be overridden at most once in any one subclass."
so does it means that in the following definitions, there will be a compiler error, bcoz parent class(A) method may be overridden at most once in any one subclass (i.e. either in B or in C) ?
class A {
void method() {}
}
class B extends A {
void method() {}
}
class C extends A {
void method() {}
}
but I think its perfectly legal in the above code .
am I correct ?
Ravi..

hi friends,
this question is from a mock exam :
what is the output of the following program ?
import java.util.*;
class Equals {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Calendar a = new GregorianCalendar();
Calendar b = new GregorianCalendar();
Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
System.out.println(a.equals(b));
System.out.println(b.equals(c));
}
}
Output given is :
false
true
but how can it be possible that a.equals(b) gives "false", and on the same time b.equals(c) gives "true".
please help me about this.
thanks in advance.
Ravi..

hi everyone,
I've read about this BETA EXAM first time here.
I'm going to give SCJP on 22nd august. sp pls give me suggestion about this BETA.
Whether SUN will change this SCJP 310-025. or will the importance and vale of SCJPO get reduced due to this.
thanks in advance.

Hi friends,
I've some confusions on following. pls help me.
1. RandomAccessFile class constructors, when used with "rw" mode,
specified file is created, if it does not already exist.
2. Math class also contains followign method :
double aTan(double d)
or
double atan(double d)
3. is there any setName() method in Thread class ?
4. is there any destroy() method in Thread class ?
5. MOGHUL's book page 309 :
"String objects can be constructed from arrays of bytes, arrays of chars, or string buffers.
my doubt is what about other primitives ? can we construct String objects from any other primitives like int etc.
thanks in advance..
