Fresh Jobs for Developers Post a job opportunity
Haitham wants to create new 'Web Services - advanced' exam. I think that is a great idea and JBB definitely needs such but I suggest (according to the JBB convention) to split this exam into a separated exams. For instance we could create basic and intermediate exams (as Haitham suggested):
* SOAP
* WSDL
* WS-I BP
* UDDI
* JAX-RPC
* JAXP
* JAXR
* WS-Security concepts: (XML-Encryption, XML-Sig, XAML and others)
* J2ee Deployment: (Deployment Descriptor, webservices.xml and mapping file details)
At this beginning I suggest to choose one of them and create an appriopriate basic exam. We call it 'little steps approach'
Best regards.

Re: Web services - detailed exams
Yes henryk the best step is to start with SOAP basic exam. I am thinking to include the following items in this exam:* Advantages and disadvantages of using SOAP messages
* SOAP Basic Structure.
* SOAP Headers and Body.
* SOAP binding to HTTP.
* SOAP Namespaces.
Then we can set the subjects of SOAP Intermediate where the following items will be included:
* SOAP Messaging Modes.
* SOAP RPC/Encoding.
* SOAP Fault.
* SOAP with Attachments
Next we can start with the WSDL Basic/Intermediate subjects.
please note that the WS-I Basic Profile restrictions will be included in a separate exam for all web services specifications

I have a minor correction: RPC/Encoded not RPC/EncodingRe: Web services - detailed exams
I am thinking to create a SCDJWS study guide (after setting the webservice exams objectives).Regards

Re: Web services - detailed exams
Welcome in the world of JavaBlackBelt moderators, Haitham !I see that you have large and ambitious plans. I'm eager to see them realized.
You may want to start reading the "How to write good objectives?" (menu Info > Manual), and propose a text for this SOAP exam on a wiki page (see menu Admin > Documents)
Kind regards.
John.
Re: Web services - detailed exams

Re: Web services - detailed exams
I have read the manual "How to write good objectives" and i tried to set a document on the wiki site. but because I have a problem with the wiki site, I will set the exam objectives here:To pass this exam the examinees will be required to:
1) Understand the Advantages and Disadvantages of using SOAP messages.
2) Identify the Basic structure of SOAP Message.
3) Describe the function of each element in the SOAP message.
4) Know how SOAP message header blocks are used and processed.
5) Understand the SOAP binding to Http.
Note: This exam does not cover the following objectives:
1) The SOAP Messaging modes (document/literal, RPC/literal)
2) SOAP encoding.
3) SOAP Fault messages.
4) SOAP with Attachements.
5) The WS-I Basic Profile restrictions on SOAP.
Re: Web services - detailed exams
Hi Haitham,Thank you for these objectives.
Usually, more advanced exams trend to focus on a specialized sub-area of the technology. Your objectives seems much SOAP oriented. Would you tell that it's a "SOAP exam" ?
You may also want to detail each point. Put yourself in the skin of a question author and ask yourself "how far can I go in the detail when I imagine a new question?".
I hope this helps.
Kind regards.
John.
Re: Web services - detailed exams
