7.An online sporting goods store's web application uses HTTPSession to store shopping carts.When the application is initially deployed, the business plan predicts only a few customers willaccess the site. Over time, the store projects a steady increase in volume. The deployment plancalls for a single web container in the initial deployment. As demand increases, the plan calls formultiple web containers on separate hardware with clustered HTTPSession objects. Which twoprinciples will help the application meet the requirements and optimize performance? (Choosetwo.)

A.The application should store as much as possible in HTTPSession objects.
B.The application should NOT make frequent updates to HTTPSession objects.
C.The application should make coarsegrainedupdates to HTTPSession objects.
D.The application should create new HTTPSession objects instead of updating existing objects.

Correct:B C

9.A company has a web service that provides the most recent price for stocks, mutual funds, andcommodities. The company has the only web service that allows a person to check prices on allthree financial assets with one call. Its system does not store this information but sends individualcalls to each of the primary vendors for an asset and then aggregates the response to therequester. The company has committed to support a nonfunctionalrequirement (NFR) forperformance that states it must process all requests within three seconds and each of the threevendors is obligated to support the NFR as dictated by the company.

Where, in the message flow,is it appropriate to measure whether all the NFRs are met?
A.when a request is received and a response is sent to the requester
B.when a request is received, first call to vendor, last response from vendors, response is sent to arequester
C.when a requester sends a request, the request is received, each call to vendor, each response fromvendor, requester receives response
D.when a request is received, each call to vendor, each response from a vendor, a response is sent to arequester

28.A travel company is designing an application to allow customers to browse for information onany flights operating domestically and to place new reservations on any of those flights. Thecompany makes the following assumptions: significant read volume, in terms of operations thecustomers will perform significant overlap, in the search criteria of customers simple processingof each customer browse/update request .

What advice can you give this company?
A.use a twotierarchitecture (rich client directly accessing the database) because running copies of thebusiness logic in each client provides significant advantages in terms of processing time per request
B.use a threetierarchitecture (thin client >application server >database) because executing businesslogic remotely on a central location results in better performance per request
C.use a threetierarchitecture (thin client >application server >database) because the shared businessserver allows them to cache information with high likelihood of cache hits, which reduces the load on thedatabase
D.use a twotierarchitecture (rich client directly accessing the database) because each client can operateon its own business objects, independently of others, which provides significant advantages from reducedlatency due to synchronization

Correct:C

29.A company provides call center support for corporations worldwide.Each agent in the callcenter can be assigned to multiple call center customers. All of the company's customers useWindowsbased user interfaces and it has just signed a new customer that uses a Java EEbackend and wants a rich interface. The company is developing a user interface for the newcustomer with the following requirements: Customer service representatives (CSRs) must be ableto work with minimal training on the application. CSRs must be able to switch between call centersystems quickly. Screens must have a Windows "look and feel." 2000 agents spread across fourlocations must be able to use the system.

What advice would you give this company on the userinterface (UI)?
A.write the UI using JSP and JSTL
B.write the UI using JSPs with embedded scriptlets
C.write the UI using Ajax, accessing servlets directly
D.write the UI using Java Swing and distribute using JNLP

Correct:D

30.A travel company decides to rearchitecttheir twotierapplication (where each client ran itsown copy of the application against a shared database) and hires you as their lead architect. Yousuggest they rearchitecttheir application as a browserbased,threetiersolution: presentation,business logic, and persistence. You also suggest they deploy each of the three tiers on its owncomputer.

Why is the three tier solution more scalable than the twotiersolution?
A.Every client runs its own GUI application. Clients do not compete for resources for presentationpurposes.
B.Clients share the same business logic tier. Clientspecificobjects can be stored centrally, optimizingaccess.
C.Every client shares the same business logic tier. Each client competes with each other for resources onthat JVM.
D.Clients share the same business logic tier. Duplicate effort can be avoided by sharing objects, reducingthe load on the database.

Correct:D
