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

1. Tom has installed IBM WebSphere Portal to use as his development server. He would like to publish an existing project to the new server to test his portlets. What type of Server Configuration should he select for his server?

A) IBM WebSphere Portal Server
B) Pick the first one in the list and the software automatically determines the correct server type.
C) IBM WebSphere Application Server and IBM WebSphere Portal Server
D) IBM WebSphere Application Server

2. Earl needs to combine three existing multipage portlet models into a single portlet user interface where the user can select between one of the three application flows to work on at a time. What is the best way to accomplish this task with IBM Web Experience Factory?

A) Select one of the models and import the other two models into it with the Imported Model
builder. Add a Tab builder to the first model's main
page and use Inserted Page builders to insert the main page of each to the other two models into
the tabs.
B) Create a Main and Page model, add a Dojo Tab Container builder with three panes to the page,
then add a Model Container builder for each
existing portlet model to associate each of the existing models with a tab pane.
C) Create a model, add a Tab builder, and use Linked Model builder calls to add each of the three
existing models to each tab.
D) Use the Page Tabs new model wizard to create a model, selecting the three existing portlet
models in the wizard Tab List field.

3. Which of the following would be a security and performance best practice for portlets, widgets, and web applications built with IBM Web Experience Factory?

A) Validating all user input data on the client for performance reasons, and again on the server, to protect against malicious users that attempt to bypass client-side validation.
B) Validating all user input data on the server-side only, for best protection against malicious users.
C) Validating all user input data on the client-side only, to keep bad data from getting to the server at all.
D) Validation is not a security or performance concern. HTTP protects against bad data based on HTML input type and databases do not allow malicious data into the field types.

4. Heather is preparing to move an application into production and has discovered that there is an option to create a portlet WAR file or an application WAR file. What is the conceptual difference between the two?

A) An application WAR file is a prerequisite for deploying a portlet WAR file. It represents the container hierarchy for portlets.
B) An application WAR file can include profiling for personalization and configuration, while a portlet WAR file is static and cannot be configured for profiling.
C) A portlet WAR file contains portlets designed to run on an IBM WebSphere Portal server or portlet container, while an application WAR file is a stand-alone web application that has no dependencies on WebSphere Portal containers, so it can be deployed to an application server.
D) An application WAR file can deploy multiple portlets at the same time in an application, while a portlet WAR file represents a single instance of a portlet.

5. The Data Store builder allows Beth to fetch various types of data and make it available to a widget on the page that has Dojo data store enabled. All of the following data stores are valid except which one?

A) XMLStore
B) FileStore
C) A custom Dojo data store
D) HTMLStore
