Spring JSF integration

integration spring with jsf is easy, you just needs to follow these steps:

1)in web.xml make sure that you have (context listener + context param) :

<listener>
<listener-class>
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
</listener-class>
</listener>

<context-param>
<param-name>
contextConfigLocation
</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/applicationContext*.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>

2) you need to use “DelegatingVariableResolver” in faces-config.xml:
<faces-config>
<application>
<variable-resolver>
org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableResolver
</variable-resolver>
…..
</faces-config>

3) in the managed bean that you want to use the spring bean, you need to add spring bean to the managed bean class as property:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>…</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>…</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>…</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>manager</property-name>
<value>#{manager}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>

“Oracle Certified Master, Java EE 5 Enterprise Architect certification” experience

Before couple of days I received the good news that I passed the “Oracle Certified Master, Java EE 5 Enterprise Architect certification”.
The story begins in December 2010 when I took the first part of the exam.
I relied on my hands-on experience in java, Design patterns, web component, EJB.
I just read “Sun Certified Enterprise Architect for Java™ EE Study Guide”.

By the way , at that time I had SCJP, SCBCD 5, SCWCD.
so it was a great challenge to try to get the most valuable certificate in Java which is the Architect certificate.

part 1 questions mainly focused on the higher level concepts , no details or low level questions, my score was 77% .

in April 2011, I returned back to the assignment , in 2 weeks the assignment was done.
in general the assignment is simple, but there are some details you need to take care about.
I worked on assignment using Visio, then exported the diagrams to html pages as they requested, then i packaged the html pages to jar file.
before sending the assignment , you need to finish part2, I went to exam center I answered around 7 questions, mainly the questions about how your design handle security, scalability , maintainability,…. and if there is a use to Enterprise Java Beans and why,…

21 April – I sent the assignment
25 April – I received the confirmation about receiving the assignment, they informed me it needs 6-8 weeks to be graded.
30 May – I sent them an email asking about any updates regarding the result.
2 June – OCP team apologized for the delay , and they told me they may need another 2-3 weeks.
21 June – I sent them any updates email …
22 June – OCP team apologized for the delay!
1 July – I recieved email that I passed the exam.

It was a nice challenge to work on this certificate, what do you think ?
