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

1. Harry has modified his web application project to include a new model with a new portlet adapter. After testing it in a stand-alone environment, he would like to deploy it to his IBM WebSphere Portal environment. Assuming that he has set up the project for automatic deployment, what is the easiest way to make the new portlet available?

A) Restart WebSphere Portal, because the changes made to the project are automatically deployed.
B) Use the Publish Application menu item and select the portal server to which he wants to publish.
C) Remove the web module from WebSphere Portal and re-import the project WAR file.
D) Build a new WAR file for each change, so new concrete portlets can be installed and updated.

2. Phyllis wants to quickly locate the JSP code for a field on a page that she developed using the View and Form builder call. What is the fastest way to find this piece of code?

A) Locate the generated HTML page in the Navigator, and double-click to show its contents in a text editor.
B) Use the "View Generated Code" link on the builder call to show the JSP code in a separate model view.
C) Use the search facility to locate the field name in the project.
D) Use the Source View and click that field in the WebApp in the Application Tree.

3. 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) 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.
B) Log files are stored in the WEB-INF/logs directory in the deployed WAR file.
C) 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.
D) Log files are created in the base WEB-INF directory.

4. Phil needs to use a set of resource bundles to localize the portlets that he is building. What steps can he use to accomplish this task?

A) Place the bundles into the project and use the Imported Page builder and it's localization inputs to automatically apply the correct resource bundle to the page imported into the portlet.
B) Use the Data Services builder to generate a service that selects the appropriate bundle based upon the locale of the request and returns it as an XML structure that can be fed directly into the Data Page or View and Form builders.
C) Phil can use the Imported Resource builder and the Simple Locale Profile Selection Handler to select and import the correct bundle. Then use Data Page, View and Form, and the other UI builders to construct the localized UI with strings from the imported bundle.
D) Place the bundles into the project ensuring that the bundles include the appropriate language and country codes. Then use a Localized Resource builder to import the proper bundle according to the locale determined for the user of the portlet.

5. Bob is wiring two portlets and intends to implement partial page refresh. Each of the following is a correct approach except which one?

A) Use the property broker and check the AJAX call option on the property broker for the IBM WebSphere Portal.
B) Use JavaScript.
C) Use the Event Declaration builder with client-side delivery and the Client Event Handler builder.
D) Do nothing because Smart Refresh is the default.
