I had the same problem and eventually found old downloadable versions of weblogic. More about it here : http://www.6footplus.com/home/show/233

Thanks so much Nick :-)

Hi all!

For those asking for the material I used, it is all linked in my article mentioned in my initial post : My SCDJWS 5 Experience

And yes the material I mentioned in my article is all freely available. Except, I did donate 12 USD to Mikalai Zaikin for his notes and quiz in printable format (PDF). More details here : How to get SCDJWS 5 Quiz

I hope that helps...

Hi fellow JavaRanchers!

I made some notes about my certification preparations here:

My SCDJWS 5.0 (CX-310-230) Experience

Let me know if you need more infos.

Kind regards,

Thanks for both of your speedy responses!
This is my first job as a Java programmer so I am very new to all of this. We had a meeting again and it was decided to do the following: The application needs to log (not session tracking) hits plus logging additional info such as where the hits come from and where they are going next. The servlet needs to get a request through alias URL rewriting and then redirect to Dominio stored pages. My duty now is to first write a "High Level Business Requirement Documentation" and then start coding.
Any tips or advice? Would really appreciate it!
Thanks guys!

Hello there!
I am rather knew to Servlets. My project manager wanted me to come up with a technique how to record/track client/browser behaviour on the local intranet. I did some research and found session tracking to be most appropiate. Now I have been informed that "enabling session tracking on our intranet server (where our core intranet web apps run) is not currently possible".
Are there any other ways to solve this problem with servlets? Please help!!!

Hi there!
I have worked on JBuilder in the past and have today started going through VisualAge tutorials using the VisualAge IDE. I find it strange that I can not view the complete source code, from the package declaration to the last bracket closing the class, in any of the panels. Some panels list the fields and methods and upon selecting them an alternative panel displays only that selected method without displaying the code before or after it. Can somebody advise me whether it is possible and if how I go about viewing everything of a class in one go?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there!
I've spent quite a bit of time going through posts here at the Job Forum with the goal to finally get me that Java specific job. I got certified in May and have since been looking for a job while continuing my J2EE studies. My problem was my commercial Java inexperience and also not having much of an IT background. So most recruiters and companies I approached were not keen to further assess me. However, last week a recruiter from London prompted me to take an online Java evaluation at QWIZtek. The next day he phoned me to let me know that I did rather well considering that I had no commercial Java experience. An appointment for a technical telephonic interview was made (I currently reside in South Africa).
The t.t. interview was about 20 minutes long speaking to their technical manager who himself has a software engineering degree. He did the SCJ2P examination a month ago. This aided my interview tremendously as he was well aware of what I had achieved by passing the SCJ2P examination. He asked me whether I have done or been exposed to JSP, Servlets, XML and EJB and what I knew of it. The rest of the interview was rather casual and we discussed the Developer Certification and what IDE's we prefer using. After telling him that I had some difficulties with the ODBC driver trying to connect to an Acces database he was all to eager to advise me to rather use the freely downloadable database MySQL.
They phoned me today and said they were happy with the interview and that they wish to fly me from Johannesburg to London for us to have a face-to-face meeting. I am rather grateful as I consider this a big break. I know it is not final yet, but I think I have overcome the difficult and important hurdless in the quest for employment.
In short my advice to fellow jobseekers, seeing that I am on a high at the moment : Know what Java (OOP) is all about, what it can do and most importantly why it is so powerful, essential and almost irreplaceable in today�s technology (Good reference : First couple of chapters in Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java 2). Also to study the latest technologies namely Servlets, JSP, XML, EJB and JDBC to name a few!
I thought I'll share my experience seeing that have gained so much from this and other JavaRanch forums. Hold thumbs for my face-to-face meeting next week!
Take Care!

Thanks guys for the reply! In that case I'll keep on studying and keep my dream (Java Programmer) alive.

Hi there!
In June this year I became a SCJP after studying non-stop for three months. I had no prior programming knowledge at all. I have a mechanical engineering degree but am I totally committed in becoming a programmer. Being unemployed I have been looking for work here in South Africa until middle August, not being successful. So, I decided to focus my job search in Europe (I hold German citizenship). In the mean time I have purchased some books on JDBC, EJB, Servlets etc, to learn what is so often required.
My problem is, that one just doesn't learn all this within a couple of weeks. Let alone having programming samples on the net. It takes time and is definitely not easy learning! I am worried what recruiters or possible employers might think of this long unemployed period (June 2000 - now) I currently have in my Curriculum Vitae. And the fact that I have had no offers let alone decent interviews!
What am I to do to improve my situation? Should I just carry on learning and not worry about the passing time? When are you ready for a trainee/junior Java programming job position?
Frustrated but Hopeful!
Andreas
