IBM Developing Portlets and Web Applications with IBM Web Experience Factory 8.0 Sample Questions:

1. William decides during creation of a builder call that he needs to associate a builder call input with a profile entry that has not been created yet. What is the easiest way to add new entries from this location in the product?

A) Close the builder call, open the original profile set, modify it and return to the builder call.
B) Enter the profile for the input, create a new profile (or profile set), add entries, and save the new choice.
C) Click the profile icon for the builder call input and add the entry directly to correct Profile Set.
D) Right click the model, or click New->Factory Profile Set, create a new set and entries.

2. Lydia needs to create a set of CRUD services for a database table. The columns that must be retrieved from the database are a subset of those defined for the table. What is the most efficient way for Lydia to create these services?

A) Create a SQL Call builder for each CRUD operation and use a SQL Statement override to explicitly choose those columns needed for the SELECT operation.
B) Use the SQL View and Form builder to define the CRUD services and automatically generate the CRUD user interface.
C) Use the SQL Data Services builder to generate all of the CRUD operations and explicitly specify the set of columns used for the List and Retrieve operations.
D) Use the SQL Service Definition builder and apply a Data Column Modifier to select only the desired columns.

3. Sam has an older model that uses the View and Form builder. He created this model before the IBM Web Experience Factory theme support existed and would now like the View and Form builder to use the default theme. What is the best way for Sam to accomplish this task?

A) Add a new View and Form builder to his model and remove the old one.
B) Add a Theme builder to his model and select the Use Theme field.
C) Open the View and Form builder call in his model and select the Use Theme field.
D) Set the default bowstreet.themeFile property to true, so that all builders are forced to use the default theme.

4. To help diagnose an issue in his model, Sam wants to know more about what is happening during an SQL call. How can he get logging information about what is going on during the SQL call?

A) Sam should enable logging for SQL statements, SQL warnings, and server statistic information in the SQL Call builder itself.
B) The information is best obtained from the application server log by the JDBC driver in use.
C) The only information available is the SQL call results or exception information in the WEBINF/logs/event.log file if an error occurs.
D) Sam should use a Java debugger to get information from a failing SQL call invocation.

5. Mike is working on a Service Provider model that retrieves data from a REST service. He needs to perform a filter and a sort transformation on the data that he wants to expose as a service operation. What is the best way for Mike to accomplish this task?

A) Wire the two transforms together using the Cooperative Portlet builders.
B) Write a method that invokes the filter and a sort transformation and expose it as the service operation.
C) Chain the filter and a sort transformation together and expose the resulting data service as the service operation.
D) Write a separate provider model for each transformation, and invoke them both from the consumer model.
