The Sun Java Programmer Plus certification beta will launch on March 1, 2010 and run for approximately 10 days.
Q: Why should I take the performance exam? I am already certified as a Java Programmer.
A: The benefit to the Programmer is the ability to update current skills and practically demonstrate those skills in addition to knowledge. The performance exam provides current employers with the confidence that an employee has the problem solving skills they need on a day to day basis, using Java to design and develop applications effectively.
Q: Will this exam replace the current Java Programmer exam?
A: Sun believes that performance based Java Programming certification provides both candidates and employers with greater assurance that their skills will meet the needs of the Java Programmer role. Sun will retire the prior versions of the Java Programmer certification in the near future. Sun will provide a public notification of at least 90 days in advance of any exam retirement.

  • The future of java and what is the most necessary skill to learn

    hi, friends,
    This is a serious question, so please answer seriously.
    1. The future of java
    Are there any future for java? What I mean are: are there any jobs for java developer in the future? are there any chances for new java company to survive?
    2. What is the most needed skill in so many java technology?
    There are so many sections in java technology. so what is the most needed one for one to find a job? what is the most promising section for one to build a company.
    Thank your very much!

    It's a lousy question really.
    1) There are very few companies you'd call a 'java company'. There are companies that use java, but they also by and large use C++, DBMS systems, and a whole host of other technologies. If java died, they'd switch to whatever technology killed it. Any decent programmer is flexible enough to learn a new language in a matter of weeks. It's the ability to work with the theory behind the code rather than the knowledge of syntax that's important.
    2) It depends entirely on what you're doing. Working with a company where databases are key? Then you need Oracle, or SQL. Working with web technology? Perl, JSP, PHP, stuff like that is what you want. Working in high performance application design? You need C++. Graphics? Take a look at OpenGL or Java3d.
    The most promising section to build a company? If there was a straight answer to that 1000 companies would have sprung up already and filled the niche.
    Basically, if you want a successful career in programming, don't become a java programmer, become a programmer full stop. If you think you'll be working with java when you retire in 40-odd years you're mistaken. You need to grasp the basic concepts of application and algorithm design, and be quick to learn new technologies and evaluate them against what exists already.
    It can take 3 years to go from complete newbie to fluent in a single programming language. It can then take less than 3 days to become fluent in another.

  • The future of Java 3d

    Hello all.
    I thought about learning some Java 3D stuff and was browsing around and I've got a couple of questions:
    - What exactly is JOPL?
    - Is Sun activly pushing Java 3d?
    - Is Java 3d a required skill in today's market?
    I just don't want to invest time in learning a technology which may in the near future (hopefully not) become unused/obsolete.
    Would like to hear your opinions

    I'm not sure about JOPL; JOGL is a Java-OpenGL interface that enables you to use standard OpenGL to access 3D hardware from Java. There is also an OpenGL interface called LWJGL which is a bit faster but not awt compatible.
    Sun isn't actively pushing Java3D but it's recent appearance on the Mac suggests that it isn't entirely dead and there may be some movement with it in future.
    Java3D is an essential skill in today's Java3D market. The best way to check for it's use in the wider world is to go onto any of the job sites and do a search for jobs requiring Java3D. I doubt you'll find many. That doesn't mean you shouldn't learn it- if you use it alongside the standard tutorials and Selman's book on the subject that is a great way to learn about 3D programming without having to get into the whole wheel-reinvention that is required to get going with OpenGL. Ultimately if you want a job in 3D programming you are going to be best learning OpenGL from the bottom up because that is what more commercial companies use. If you want to learn about 3D programming principles, try J3D.

  • Implementation-specific documentation for the Sun/Oracle Java SE ?

    Hi,
    Some places in the Java SE API specification call for platform-specific documentation. For example, the specification of the method await of class java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition says:
    "Implementation Considerations
    The current thread is assumed to hold the lock associated with this Condition when this method is called. It is up to the implementation to determine if this is the case and if not, how to respond. Typically, an exception will be thrown (such as IllegalMonitorStateException) and the implementation must document that fact. "
    So, implementation-specific documentation is expected to exist in addition to the API specification documentation. Sure, sentences beginning with "Typically..." suggest that that is what the Sun/Oracle reference implementation does, so the behavior of Sun/Oracle implementation can be guessed in many cases... yet sometimes troubling uncertainty remains.
    If implementation-specific documentation for the implementation exists, please let me know.
    I apologize if I chose an inappropriate forum for this question, but there seems to be no forum for discussing documentation arrangements.

    If you want to look at the implementation sepcific documentation, the best place to look is the source.
    The reason the docuementation is written generically is because they want you to write portable code, rather than rely on the specific implementation detail of the one you are using.
    Even if you don't intend to use another vendor, you might want to upgrade in the future and Java 7 or 8 many change its implementations provided it meets the specification.

  • Future for Java guys

    I seen some of the articles, sap customer are pressuring to release ABAP version of portal instead of java so that, they no need to worry of multiple skilled persons and also they can avoid communication between java and ABAP. If that at is  the case what would be the future of java guys who migrated to sap. What do you suggest for Java guys who is going to migrate to sap NetWeaver?

    Hi Sreenivasulu,
       You don't have anything to worry about.  You will not see an ABAP version of the portal.  ABAP is great for the business transaction functionality but was not designed to work with the web.  That is why a couple of years ago the SAP CEO at Sapphire said that JAVA was going to be an important development tool for developing SAP application.

  • Java Certification Tips Anyone ??

    Hi there,
    I am learning java and plan to give the exam for Sun certified java programmer. If any of you have already done this I would like some tips towards preparing for the exam.
    I am planning to buy the book on java certification by Roberts, Heller & Ernest. Is this a good enough reference or do I need something more.
    Also I would like to know whether certification really helps in the job market, before you have completed your graduation. I raside in India and am doing a Bachelors degree in Computer Applications.
    I recently heard some people say that java is becoming obsolete. Is this true, and what are its implications for yhose who get a java certificaion.
    Thanks for any help in advance

    Personally I think that the Sun certification program is one of the few certs in the market that actually still holds some value to it. The lack of "boot camp" type training programs has helped this out a whole lot. Unlike other certifications, having the sun certs should give you a slight edge in the market... whereas certs like MCSE, MCSD, etc don't count much for you if you have 'em, but if you don't it looks bad.
    Anyway... reading books is good. Read them through a couple of times. While the exams aren't extremely expensive, just make sure you take the time to know everything before you even attempt it once. If there's something you don't quite understand, go online and research as much as you can until you do. There's tons and tons of information out there freely available... take advantage of it.

  • What is the difference between java direct or java bean in JSP?

    What is the difference if I use java code directly in JSP or use java bean in JSP?
    Which class to use for receiving the passed parameter from html or java script? Any difference for java code and java bean in the way receiving the passed data?
    How can I pass string from jsp to html or java script?

    it's generally accepted as better design to separate presentation from logic. meaning, the java code in the jsp should be used to support displaying data, as oppsoed to implementing the application - like database access, etc.
    when the logic is separated from the presentation, it allows you to reuse logic components within several jsp pages.
    if you decide to change the presentation layer in the future (to support wap, for example) you don't need to rewrite your entire application, since the "guts" of the application is outside of the jsps.
    it is also a good idea to separate your business logic from your data layer. adding a "buffer zone" between these layers helps in the same manner as in separating presentation from logic. if you're using flat files for storage now, upgrading to a database wouldn't require rewriting all your business logic, just the methods which write out the data to a file, for example.
    once you feel comfortable with separating the various layers, check out the struts framework at http://jakarta.apache.org/
    to answer your second question, to get parameters passed in from HTML forms, use ServletRequet's getParameter() method.
    in tomcat:
    <% String lastName = request.getParameter( "lastname" ); %>
    to answer your third question: when displaying the HTML from withing a jsp, print out the string to a javascript variable or a hidden form element:
    <% String firstName = "mike"; %>
    <input type="hidden" name="firstname" value="<%= firstName %>">
    <script language="javascript1.2">
    var firstName = "<%= firstName %>";
    </script>
    this jsp results in the following html:
    <input type="hidden" name="firstname" value="mike">
    <script language="javascript1.2">
    var firstName = "mike";
    </script>

  • Pls help   how to check the condition in java server faces.....???

    Hi All
    I have strucked with code pls help....
    How can i check the codition in java server faces.....?
    like in my Application when user provides the in put like some state name in the next page i have to display some url for that state .......if he provide some other state name it will be different url .....pls help me how can i do that,,,,,,???
    thanks in advance..

    There are certainly ways to do that. E.g. using the rendered attribute, using conditional statements in EL, using a specialized getter for that (lazily loaded if necessary), etcetera. But your functional requirement is unclear, so I can't go in detail with that.
    In the future, please try to write normal English sentences. Don't write like SMS talk and save the periods and commas. The more effort you put in your question, the more chance you will be taken for serious and the more effort others will post in their answers.
    Also, in the future, JSF related questions should be posted in the JSF forum.

  • Help!How to change the language of java compile information?

    Hi,every body!
    my first language is not english, so please forgive me for my poor english.
    My OS is Windows XP Chinese edition&#65292;and my JDk is 1.6 u5 multi-language edition. The problem is that&#65292;when I compile java programs with problems, the jdk gives a error information in Chinese. I think the informatin is translated terribly. Some even hard to understand. I wanna modify jdk to display error info in English. I try to find a answer on google, but failed. please give me a hand, thanks!

    To Darryl.Burke , I 'm sorry to make you hava a so feeling. I just wanna get a answer ASAP. I copy my reply it's because that i think above reply in the two forum it is similar, and i can use the same word to reply. It doesn't means i don't respect the replyers. I don't want you misunderstand me. I have reflected upon my mistakes. I hope you can help me in the future as before.Thanks all the same.

  • Getting the current time and comparing it to a time in the future

    Hello,
    I am seeing in my research some debate on the best way to get the time. I am reading that just using the Date class and calling getTime() is not the most reliable way to do things. Overall, I am trying to get the current time down to the millisecond. I then want to add 5 seconds to that time and then store that value. FInally, when the current time is greater or equal to this stored value, I want to continue on in my program. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to calculate the time variable? Any help would be much appreciated. I am new to the JAVA world.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    To store the current time, simply use new java.util.Date(). Yes, there might be slight inconsistencies and it might not be the most accurate time possible, but without significant additional effort (perhaps a native O/S call or the use of another time library), you will not do much better. Calendar won't help in this instance either. The easiest way to get five seconds in the future is to do the following:
    Date now = new Date();
    Date future = new Date(now.getTime() + 5000);To store and retrieve the value, it depends on what you are doing. You can place it in the database via JDBC (BTW, if you trust the database timestamp more than Java's you can use something like Oracle's SYSDATE instead of Java's date in your SQL query). You can place it in the filesystem. You can store it in the user's session.
