| Section 1:
Concepts |
|
| |

- Interpret UML diagrams.
- State the effect of encapsulation, inheritance,
and use of interfaces on architectural characteristics.
|
| |
| Section 2: Common
Architectures |
|
| |
- Recognize the effect on each of the following
characteristics of two tier, three tier and multi-tier
architectures: scalability maintainability, reliability,
availability, extensibility, performance, manageability, and
security.
- Recognize the effect of each of the following
characteristics on J2EE technology: scalability maintainability,
reliability, availability, extensibility, performance,
manageability, and security.
- Given an architecture described in terms of
network layout, list benefits and potential weaknesses associated
with it.
|
| |
| Section 3: Legacy
Connectivity |
|
| |
- Distinguish appropriate from inappropriate
techniques for providing access to a legacy system from Java code
given an outline description of that legacy system
|
| |
| Section 4:
Enterprise JavaBeans Technology |
|
| |
- List the required classes/interfaces that must be
provided for an EJB technology.
- Distinguish stateful and stateless Session beans.
- Distinguish Session and Entity beans.
- Recognize appropriate uses for Entity, Stateful
Session, and Stateless Session beans.
- State benefits and costs of Container Managed
Persistence.
- State the transactional behavior in a given
scenario for an enterprise bean method with a specified
transactional deployment descriptor.
- Given a requirement specification detailing
security and flexibility needs, identify architectures that would
fulfill those requirements.
- Identify costs and benefits of using an
intermediate data-access object between an entity bean and the data
resource.
|
| |
| Section 5:
Enterprise JavaBeans Container Model |
|
| |
- State the benefits of bean pooling in an EJB
container.
- State the benefits of Passivation in an EJB
container.
- State the benefit of monitoring of resources in an
EJB container.
- Explain how the EJB container does lifecycle
management and has the capability to increase scalability.
|
| |
| Section 6:
Protocols |
|
| |
- Given a scenario description, distinguish
appropriate from inappropriate protocols to implement that scenario.
- Identify a protocol, given a list of some of its
features, where the protocol is one of the following: HTTP, HTTPS,
IIOP, JRMP.
- Select from a list, common firewall features that
might interfere with the normal operation of a given protocol.
|
| |
| Section 7:
Applicability of J2EE Technology |
|
| |
- Select from a list those application aspects that
are suited to implementation using J2EE.
- Select from a list those application aspects that
are suited to implementation using EJB.
- Identify suitable J2EE technologies for the
implementation of specified application aspects.
|
| |
| Section 8: Design
Patterns |
|
| |
- From a list, select the most appropriate design
pattern for a given scenario. Patterns will be limited to those
documented in Gamma et al. and named using the names given in that
book.
- State the benefits of using design patterns.
- State the name of a design pattern (for example,
Gamma) given the UML diagram and/or a brief description of the
pattern's functionality.
- Select from a list benefits of a specified design
pattern (for example, Gamma).
- Identify the design pattern associated with a
specified J2EE feature
|
| |
| Section 9:
Messaging |
|
| |
- Identify scenarios that are appropriate to
implementation using messaging, EJB, or both.
- List benefits of synchronous and asynchronous
messaging.
- Select scenarios from a list that are appropriate
to implementation using synchronous and asynchronous messaging.
|
| |
| Section 10:
Internationalization |
|
| |
- State three aspects of any application that might
need to be varied or customized in different deployment locales.
- Match the following features of the Java 2
platform with descriptions of their functionality, purpose or
typical uses: Properties, Locale, ResourceBundle, Unicode, java.text
package, InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter.
|
| |
| Section 11:
Security |
|
| |
- Select from a list security restrictions that Java
2 environments normally impose on applets running in a browser.
- Given an architectural system specification,
identify appropriate locations for implementation of specified
security features, and select suitable technologies for
implementation of those features.
