Hi,
I am doing scea part-2. In my assignment there is an external Inventory System which is java based and owned by the client company itself for which I am supposed to develop the SuD. I am assuming that the InventorySystem have exposed remote EJB services to cater the need of the inventory checking required by SuD.From my SuD, I am making remote EJB call ( and not the Web Service call) to get the inventory level. I am also assuming that both the SuD and the Inventory system will be within the same firewall and no specific security measure is needed.
My confusions are following:
1) Is my assumption about the external inventory lookup through remote EJB call ( and NOT through the Web Service call) correct/possible?
2) Is my assumption about the requirement of no special security measurement correct?

Please provide your opinion/suggestions regarding this.

Hi,
I am doing scea part-2 assignment. As a note I am specifying some sample vendor/machine combinations as suggested by Cade's book. For example I am giving 16 GB RAM for the Web server and 16 GB for the App server and 32 GB for the db server. Do I need to justify those figures? In my assignment it is only specified that the system should be available for 24 by 7 but there is no mention for the number of concurrent users and other parameters. So how can I justify those figures for RAM, hard-disk, processors clock speed, core etc. ? I don't have any experience for the capacity planning, so I may be giving more expensive resources than what is normally required. Will it have a negative impact? Ranchars who have already passes scea and appearing for the same, please share your experience, opinion and suggestion.

Hi,
can you please explain what is actually meant by 'hardware profile' in the deployment diagram of Cade's book ?

Hi Jeanne,
I have downloaded scea part-2 assignment just two months ago. In the part-2 assignment the following instruction is written:

The architecture must be based on the JEE platform.(While we do not explicitly require JEE 5, we expect that J2EE 1.4 or higher to be used).

In my case I am using one feature of JEE 6 which is higher than the both J2EE 1.4 and JEE 5. Will it not be allowed? I am bit confused. Please suggest.

Thank you all for your reply . Yes, I think ManagedBean can act as a controller.

Hi,
I am doing my scea part-2 assignment.Can you please tell me whether I am allowed to use some components which are new in JEE6 spec but were not present in JEE5.
e.g. Some new features of JSF2.0 (a part of JEE6 spec) which were not present in the previous JSF version.

Saket, thanks for your reply. One correction- For JSF, ManagedBean is the Model of MVC pattern and FacesServlet is the Controller of MVC.

It will be of great help if other ranchers (like Saket) give their opinion. Please share your opinion.
