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

1. 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 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.
B) 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.
C) 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.
D) 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.

2. Page automation is a set of builders that facilitate the automatic display of data based on metadata. What are the basic steps of page automation?

A) Receive data in a Data page builder, modify the schema, apply modifiers.
B) Examine received data in the context of a View and Form builder, build a presentation for the data, document the schema.
C) Receive data in a Data Page builder, examine the data, enrich the data.
D) Set up a data provider model, create a consumer model, select the highest level page automation builder that fits the requirement, customize the generated UI to the requirements.

3. Yolanda needs to add an element to an XML structure that is interacting with an object in IBM Web Experience Factory. Assuming the XML structure exists, what would be the method that she should call to add a new child element?

A) setName("ElementName")
B) addChildElement("ElementName")
C) setNameWithText("ElementName")
D) addChildWithText("ElementName")

4. Paul has been working on a project that is being deployed in two different versions of IBM WebSphere Portal at his company. As a result, he needs to be able to test his code with both runtimes. How does he switch from one runtime to another?

A) Open web.xml and add a new runtime element under server runtime for the new WebSphere
Portal version.
B) Open the .bowstreet file for the project and modify the runtimes element to include the new
WebSphere Portal version.
C) Right-click on the module in the Project Explorer view and click Properties > Project Facets.
The Project Facets page opens. Select the
Runtimes tab. Under the Runtimes table, select the target servers for the module.
D) Create a new server configuration for the project and assign it as the default for the project.

5. John is trying to wire two IBM Web Experience Factory portlets that reside on different IBM WebSphere Portal pages. What option will give him the best approach?

A) Wiring of two Web Experience Factory portlets on two different pages is technically not feasible.
B) Use the Cooperative Portlet Source and Cooperative Portlet Target builders with WebSphere Portal's wiring tool.
C) Wire the two portlets together using the shared variable builder so they can share data via session.
D) Use the Web Experience Factory Event Declaration and Event Handler builder with page wiring option available within the builder.
