Hi Scott and Jeanne, first of all congrats for this nice book!
I have one question that may sound obvious but I'd like to confirm. Are the practice test questions also suitable for the upgrade exam -> Upgrade to Java SE 8 OCP ( Java SE 6 and all prior versions) Exam Number: 1Z0813 ???
I do have a couple of Sun Certified Programmer certifications and I'd like to go the upgrade path, that's why I'd like to confirm. Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

I figured out what the options are for that. Thanks anyway.

I will not use the annotation for generated values at all such as
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO). I will define the keys myself, of course

BR,

Hi there,

The types of primary key generation are defined by the GenerationType enum as shown below (from the ejb-3_0-fr-spec-persistence.pdf Final release):

public enum GenerationType { TABLE, SEQUENCE, IDENTITY, AUTO };

But as far as I understood there's no way to use user defined key strategy, i mean, what if I want to generate the keys myself?

Please could someone help me in this regard? Thanks in advance!

BR,

Juarez Jr

Hello there,

The question is very simple: What's the usage pattern to pass javac parameters to java:compile in Maven? I've searched the web (Google, Maven docs, etc) but I have not found a single answer Could anybody help please?

[java] ( NO DEFAULT GOAL )
compile ........................ Compile the project
jar ............................ Create the deliverable jar file.
jar-resources .................. Copy any resources that must be present in
the deployed JAR file
prepare-filesystem ............. Create the directory structure needed to
compile

Hello there,

You can filter the sender using the PushRegistry, take a look below:

MIDlet-Push-1: sms://:12345, SmsExample, 123456789
MIDlet-Push-2: sms://:12345, SmsExample, *

The filter set to "*" to indicates that any sender is
accepted.

Hope this helps!

Hi Victor Ho,

You should give us more details about where this exception is happening, i mean, if you are using an emulator or real device. Anyway, are you sure you can set a priority to zero (0)? I think they start at one (1), being one the most important command.Higher priority values indicate commands of lesser importance.

Hope this helps.

Best,

I passed too! Let's party!

Hello there,

As far as I know it's not in MIDP 1 or 2 but it depends on the device and manufacturer. Try these:

Sony Ericsson
System.getProperty("com.sonyericsson.IMEI")

Motorola:
System.getProperty("phone.imei")
or
System.getProperty("device.imei")
or
System.getProperty("IMEI")

Siemens:
System.getProperty("com.siemens.IMEI")
or
System.getProperty("com.siemens.mp.IMEI")

Nokia is acessible only when using Symbian/Series 60 C++, I guess.

Passed the exam as well! I'm very glad!

Let's celebrate!!!



I spent the entire brazilian carnival holiday revising the objectives, now it's time to relax...

It was worthwhile, though!

Hi Eduardo, my friend!

I disagree! I don't think that 59% is easy to achieve. I consider that this exam is a difficult one and I'm sure a lot of people have the same opinion.

Don't forget that this exam has a lot of new stuff and tricky questions. Also, it's aimed at begginers and/or entry level programmers, not experienced architects like you.

When I took the SCPJ2 - 1.2 version the pass score was 61% with 120 minutes. When they downgraded the 1.4 score to 52% I did not like it as well, but for 5.0 I think 59% is acceptable.

Now for the 5.0 version we have 59% with 175 minutes. More time means more difficult questions I guess...

Think about that!

Congrats Marcelo! It's the same score I've got. It brings me great happiness to know that Brazilians are performing so well.



Keep going!!!
