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

1. 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 Theme builder to his model and select the Use Theme field.
B) Add a new View and Form builder to his model and remove the old one.
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.

2. Which one of the following is true about the difference between the Action List builder and the Method builder?

A) The Method builder conveniently allows the user to drag and drop programming language constructs from the palette, which are converted into Java code. The palette cannot be used with the Action List builder.
B) The Action List builder allows if/else conditionals, but does not support adding looping constructs such as "for" loops and "while" loops. The Method builder allows the user to add looping logic.
C) The Action List builder is recommended over the Method builder. In addition to using the chooser to make a variable assignment or execute a service call, the Action List builder supports using the picker to add programming constructs to the Action List, including conditionals and looping.
D) The Method builder can return a value, but the Action List builder cannot.

3. Rob is creating a dynamic portlet of summary data but wishes to give the administrator the ability to turn a specific column of data on and off in the portlet's configuration. Which method best describes how this can be accomplished within the context of IBM Web Experience Factory's development environment?

A) A configuration builder call can be used immediately before the builder call where the column data is defined, providing it with choices for visibility.
B) Use a Data Column Modifier to hide the column then profile enable the status field for that column.
C) Alternate HTML templates can be provided in separate WAR files for deployment.
D) The Summary Data Column can be used to create a profile entry.

4. Jane wants to debug the Java code in one or more of the Method builders in her model. How can she leverage the Eclipse Java debugger to do so?

A) This feature is not yet supported.
B) System.out.println is the only way to debug Java associated with Method builders.
C) She must purchase full rights to the IBM Web Experience Factory source to debug generated Java.
D) Right-click a method in the Application Tree view to set/toggle a breakpoint. Start the application server in debug mode and run the model with a remote Java debug configuration, as documented in the Web Experience Factory help.

5. Emma is not satisfied with her co-developer Jakob's description of system tracing events and times and wants to check the system logs herself. Where can she find and view them?

A) Log files are created in the base WEB-INF directory.
B) The location of log files is variable depending on selections made in the run configuration.
Emma must inspect the run configuration to
discover the path to the log files.
C) Log files are stored in the WEB-INF/logs directory in the deployed WAR file.
D) All IBM Web Experience Factory logging output is intertwined with IBM WebSphere Portal
logging. Emma must open the application server's log
files on the server to view them.
