Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer

2003-10-17 Thread Ruben Gamez
I'm looking for an experienced JSP/Servlet programmer located in our
area.  We're located in West Palm Beach, FL.  We've tried posting the
Job on Monster, and looking for candidates on there, but still cannot
find someone that can do the job.

This is a permanent position.  Initially we need help converting a 400
ASP program payroll web application to JSP, Servlets, and Java Web
Services.

Yes, well, I'm only asking for 1 1/2+ years experience in JSP & Servlets
and I'm still having trouble.  I was asking for ColdFusion as well, but
I've given up on that.  I'll just have to train the new developer on CF

Yeah, and those of "us" that do have the credentials get lost in the 
"forest".  (Not to mention the observation that many of these "job

areas, mostly unrelated and the total "experience" years exceeds most

The first is a written test which has J2SE, Servlet, and JSP questions.
The second is a programming test, they must write a JSP page that form
posts to a Servlet, that retrieves ANYTHING from a Bean and outputs it
in the Servlet.  I have a lab computer set up with everything except the
code.  They must also use notepad to do this.

Honestly, I've been a professional C++ programmer for several years now,
and I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I'm a damn good one.  I don't
expect anyone to be able to sit down at the terminal in vi with no man
pages and hammer out code in an hour or 2 that does much anything
useful.  Perhaps a handful of programming questions would be a bit more
applicable... but that's just my $.02

Yes, you are wrong.  ColdFusion MX was entire rewritten in Java, and it
allows you to write JSP, Servlets and Java programs that you can use
within it.  It's become quite powerful now.

Howdy,

Two bad questions or bad phrasing of questions.
1. Servlet is an interface, implementing classes must have 5 methods not
2.
2. Servlet is an interface which does not extend other interfaces.


If you're talking about GenericServlet, you should say so.  Even then,
question 1 is wrong, because to extend GenericServlet you must only
override one method, the service() method.  GenericServlet extends
Object.

If you're talking about HttpServlet, which I imagine is the case, again
question 1 is wrong, because to extend HttpServlet you must only
override one method, e.g. doGet, not two methods.  HttpServlet extends
GenericServlet.

Yes, but all of you are still missing the point.  These questions are

Hmmm Direct from the Servlet API

To implement this interface, you can write a generic servlet that
extends javax.servlet.GenericServlet or an HTTP servlet that extends
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.

Hmm, I could see where people would have difficulty.  Since the answers
are
"there's 5 methods" and "nothing" (servlet is an interface).

Actually, my first impression was when I saw the bad questions more
along the lines of a head shake and "another person who's just spouting
off acronyms and buzzwords without having much of a clue" (e.g. the
classic HR/recruiter/headhunter type).  I bet other qualified people on

It's not that it's difficult, but I wouldn't ask questions about
specific functions/parameters/methods.  I have written plenty of java,
and couldn't tell you what methods most specific interfaces implement.
I couldn't even tell you what methods the interfaces that I've written
implement.

Instead, I would look for conceptual knowledge.

I think that just about anybody can spit up wrote knowledge like that
after an hour of studying and not know how to implement a thing, but
most people who understand the actual concepts couldn't tell you what
methods or how many methods, or what their parameters are.

Just my $.02.

I don't understand the need for the jsp or the bean.  If the page is to
do a
post then it'd seem like a straight html page is ok, and since you're
not
posting to a jsp it doesn't seem like a bean would be ideal (if the
count of
parameters is small, if large then maybe).  

But that's just me.

bit too sly for their own good.  People don't necesssarily react well to
'trick' questions.  If the question is phrased in such a way that it
makes a 'qualified' candidate think "Oh my god, these QUESTIONS are
wrong"... then how do they feel comfortable answering them without
seeming too arrogant?  
 
They either answer the question "they" would have asked, if the
situation were reversed (and since no-one is a mind reader, perhaps
they'll get it wrong)
 
or they'll try to describe the 3 or 4 things *wrong* with the
question...(and end up answering some variant of the 'actual' question
in that process)
 
Or maybe they'll think those approaches are too arrogant, and would
worry that to the poser of the question, it would be "telling him his
job".  

know what I mean?

Like I said, I'm not looking for a specific answer - just give me a
smart answer!

I heartilly disagree.  You posted to a mailing list specifically about
this topic, and got 5 different answers.

I don't want a programmer that wouldn't know that.  If you've spent ANY
amount of time writing Servlets, you SHOULD know doGet and doPost.  That
is very basic.

It's not that it's difficult, but I wouldn't ask questions about
specific functions/parameters/methods.  I have written plenty of java,
and couldn't tell you what methods most specific interfaces implement.
I couldn't even tell you what methods the interfaces that I've written
implement.

Instead, I would look for conceptual knowledge.

I think that just about anybody can spit up wrote knowledge like that
after an hour of studying and not know how to implement a thing, but
most people who understand the actual concepts couldn't tell you what
methods or how many methods, or what their parameters are.

Just my $.02.

Does anyone else think that what I'm asking for is so difficult?

Wow, sounds like entry level coding to me!  And you're having trouble
getting people to pass these things?
