Which of the following are true about Active Replication? It is a fault-tolerance mechanism It is achieved by ta ing cold bac ups "ach replica attempts to process each re#uest but e$tra calls may be intercepted via an interceptor &tate changes are logged and periodically flushed to the replicas &tate is synchroni'ed only when the primary service fails "ach replica is identical to the main service.

!hoices A) ! and ( are correct. Active Replication is a fault tolerance mechanism where each replica is identical to the main service and attempts to service each re#uest. An interceptor is used to bloc e$tra responses. Active replication is similar in concept to *ot Bac ups. *ence choices A) ! and ( are correct. Active Replication is not achieved through cold bac ups. In cold bac ups) the replicas are not constantly updated. +heir state is synchroni'ed with the primary service in regular intervals. In the event that the primary service fails) one of the replicas has to be synchroni'ed ,perhaps with data from a storage device- before it can service re#uests. *ence choice B is incorrect. !hoice % refers to the concept of Warm Bac us. In warm bac ups) only the primary service responds to re#uests. *owever all activity is constantly logged. .eriodically these logs may also get flushed to the replicas. When the primary service fails) a replica ta es over after its state is synchroni'ed with the logs. *ence choice % is incorrect. With active replication) as mentioned before) the state of all replicas is constantly synchroni'ed. *ence choice " is incorrect. / A B ! % " Which of the following are benefits of &erver !lustering?

!hoice ! is correct. 8ne problem with container-managed persistence in "2B 1.C was that the bean developer had to define the primary ey during development. +his forced the developer to ma e assumptions thus limiting the beanAs portability across databases. "2B 1.1 allows the primary ey to remain undefined until deployment. *ence choice ! is correct. !hoice A is incorrect because all entity beans must have a seriali'able primary ey that can be used to uni#uely identify an entity bean in the database. >ndefined .rimary @eys are not defined during development. *ence choice B is incorrect. !hoice % is incorrect because it indicates that "ntity Beans are not allowed to have undefined .rimary @eys. +his was true in "2B1.C but not in "2B1.1.

Which of the following is not a resource management techni#ue? 0aintaining a smaller pool of &tateless Beans to serve a large number of clients. .roviding %atabase !onnection .ooling .ersistence of "ntity Beans .assivation of &tateful Beans

!hoice ! is correct. .ersistence of "ntity beans is the ability to save data represented by the bean into a database. It is not a resource management techni#ue. !hoice ! is false and therefore correct. 0aintaining a smaller number of beans to serve a larger number of clients is a very clever resource management techni#ue. It is also an e$ample of the (lyweight %esign .attern. !hoice A is thus a resource management techni#ue and therefore incorrect. %atabase connection pooling) a similar concept as bean pools) is also a good resource management techni#ue. !hoice B is therefore incorrect. With &tateful &ession Beans) the container uses passivation to manage memory. In passivation the state of the bean is seriali'ed and its memory freed up for reuse by other services. *ence bean passivation is a memory management techni#ue ma ing choice % incorrect.

!hoice % is correct. A bean normally represents a row in the database. "ach field that is persisted is typically mapped to a database. +he bean itself is not stored in the database) as the class is the same for all bean instances of the same typeUitAs 3ust the values that change. If beans were seriali'ed when they where stored on the database you would have to de-seriali'e each one when you were doing a find operation ,by criteria-. When "ntity Beans are passivated ,the state to the bean is written to file-) seriali'ation may be used depending on the Application server) although most servers probably also synchroni'e the state with the database as well.&toring them in memory is not persistence. If the server crashes) all the data would be lost. +herefore choice A is incorrect.

A !lients are typically used for data presentation) validation and for processing business logic. B 0ost clientFserver applications follow the 0odel/ architecture as opposed to n-tier applications that follow 0odel7. ! In clientFserver applications) the client normally consists of the view) controller and parts of the model. % In typical clientFserver applications) the presentation tier ,windows- generally tal s to controller ,a data dispatcher-) which then tal s to ob3ects that represent the enterprise data. " !lientFserver applications generally have fat clients and sometimes) fat servers as well. *ence both the client and the server could offer portability problems. !hoices A) ! and " are correct. In /-tier applications) clients are typically used for data presentation) validation of user inputs and processing of business logic. *ence choice A is correct. If you compare the functions performed by the client with the 0I! pattern) the client performs the duties of the view) the controller and parts of the model. +he client interacts with the database and retrieves data. +his data is then assembled into the re#uired view. (or e$ample) a window that shows all orders ta en in 1 day sorted by the customer number. +he client thus acts as the view in 0I!. When some search criteria is entered and the user presses a button to retrieve necessary data) the client appropriately dispatches the re#uest to the database interaction ob3ect that retrieves the necessary data. *ere the client acts as the controller. 0ost database interaction is encapsulated in a set of database access ob3ects. +hese ob3ects perform business rules processing. *ere the client performs the 3ob of the 0I! model. &ome logic is also encapsulated on the server side via triggers and stored procedures. *ence it is possible that the database also performs some model tas s in /-tier applications. *ence choice ! is correct.

!lientFserver applications fre#uently suffer from fat clients or fat servers or a combination of both. +his is because either all the logic is coded in the client ,9<1 scripting language- or all the logic is coded on the server ,through stored procedures and triggers- or a combination of both. +his results in poor portability of such applications. *ence choice " is correct. !hoice B indicates that /-tier applications follow 0odel/ architecture whereas n-tier applications follow 0odel7 architecture. +his is untrue) because it is n-tier applications that normally follow the 0odel/ architecture. *ence choice B is incorrect.

Resource bundles contain locale-specific ob3ects. When a program needs a locale-specific resource) a &tring ob3ect for e$ample) the program can load it from the resource bundle that is appropriate for the current userAs locale.

A B ! % " (

!hoices !) % and ( are correct. +he following is ta en from4 http4FF3ava.sun.comFblueprintsFguidelinesFdesigningNenterpriseNapplicationsN/eFtransactionsFtransactions?.html G+ransaction Attributes4 A transaction attribute is a value associated with a method of an enterprise bean that uses container-managed transaction demarcation. A transaction attribute is defined for an enterprise bean method in the beanAs deployment descriptor) usually by an application component provider or application assembler. +he transaction attribute controls how the "2B container demarcates transactions of enterprise bean methods. In most cases) all methods of an enterprise bean will have the same transaction attribute. (or optimi'ation purposes) it is possible to have different attributes for different methods. (or e$ample) an enterprise bean may have methods that do not need to be transactional. A transaction attribute must be specified for the methods in the component interface of a session bean and for the methods in the component and home interfaces of an entity bean. Re#uired - If the transaction attribute is Re#uired) the container ensures that the enterprise beanAs method will always be invo ed with a 2+A transaction. If the calling client is associated with a 2+A transaction) the enterprise bean method will be invo ed in the same transaction conte$t. *owever) if a client is not associated with a transaction) the container will automatically begin a new transaction and try to commit the transaction when the method completes. Re#uiresEew - If the transaction attribute is Re#uiresEew) the container always creates a new transaction before invo ing the enterprise bean method and commits the transaction when the method returns. If the calling client is associated with a transaction conte$t) the container suspends the association of the transaction conte$t with the current thread before starting the new transaction. When the method and the transaction complete) the container resumes the suspended transaction. Eot&upported - If the transaction attribute is Eot&upported) the transactional conte$t of the calling client is not propagated to the enterprise bean. If a client calls with a transaction conte$t) the container suspends the clientAs transaction association before invo ing the enterprise beanAs method. After the method completes) the container resumes the suspended transaction association. &upports - It the transaction attribute is &upports and the client is associated with a transaction conte$t) the conte$t is propagated to the enterprise bean method) similar to the way the container treats the Re#uired case. If the client call is not associated with any transaction conte$t) the container behaves similarly to the Eot&upported case. +he transaction conte$t is not propagated to the enterprise bean method. 0andatory - +he transaction attribute 0andatory re#uires the container to invo e a beanAs method in a clientAs transaction conte$t. If the client is not associated with a transaction conte$t when calling this method) the container throws 3ava$.transaction.+ransactionRe#uired"$ception if the client is a remote client or 3ava$.e3b.+ransactionRe#uired1ocal"$ception if the client is a local client. If the calling client has a transaction conte$t) the case is treated as Re#uired by the container. Eever - +he transaction attribute Eever re#uires that the enterprise bean method e$plicitly not be called within a transaction conte$t. If the client calls with a transaction conte$t) the container throws 3ava.rmi.Remote"$ception if the client is a remote client or 3ava$.e3b."2B"$ception if the client is a local client. If the client is not associated with any transaction conte$t) the container invo es the method without initiating a transaction.G

A +he %01 statements for inserting) deleting and updating data are coded in appropriate methods and the client program is responsible for synchroni'ing data by calling the methods appropriately. B +he %01 statements for inserting) deleting and updating data are coded in appropriate methods but since e3b1oad,- and e3b&tore,- are callbac methods) the container ma es calls to them) as needed. !hoice B is correct. With B0.) although the code necessary for inserting) deleting and updating data is provided by the developer) the container still decides when to synchroni'e the BeanAs state with the database. +he container ma es this decision based on various activities including the current transactional conte$t and so on. +he client does not call the callbac methods e$plicitly. *ence choice B is correct. !hoice A is incorrect because it suggests that it is the clientAs responsibility to invo e the callbac methods.
