RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer
I personally do not care much if the person I interview knows about such or such latest api. Rejecting a person because he/she gets stuck on a technical question is no relevant. You have to look at learning, abstraction, adaptation, communication abilities. You have probably already rejected great potential contributors. Hiring someone just because of a particular technical knowledge is asking for troubles. Once I had a developer who knew Java much better than anybody else in the team. The problem is that he could not understand where we wanted to go because he was just looking at the technology. His contributions ended up being less than the not-so-skilled java developers. Another time I gave the chance to a young guy out of high school. He knew about nothing about programming languages but he strucked me as a problem solver. After one month in the team he knew more that the senior developers about the project and even if he did not know about the lastest tech issues, he solved the different problems you have in daily IT work in a more efficient manner. Finally, even though I use JSP, I have the tendency of building frameworks asap to focus on real business issues. I will probably fail your tests although I built a framework on top of Tomcat to help my web developer focus on the customer issues. Of course, if you are trying to build technology such as a JSP and/or a J2EE, you do need deeper tech knowledge. Still I will argue that solving problems is more important than narrow tech knowledge.

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.

Re: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer [off topic]
Pardon me that it is off topics Speaking about re-usable ResultSet, I am having a little problem with a ResultSet and I cannot find the solution. I have a routine in my servlet to call an Oracle stored procedure, using CallableStatement. Everything works fine. Then, I want to get the row count of the ResultSet. I can do that by using the rs.last() method. However, that requires the ResultSet to be scrollable. So I change the code accordingly. After that, I keep getting the error message of: SQLException: Invalid operation of forward only resultset: last I can't figure out why. I thought I have defined the ResultSet to be scrollable already. The following is the snippets: //code begins-- DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver()); String url = jdbc:oracle:thin:@..; conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,); String plsql = begin my stored procedure(?,?,?); end;; CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall(plsql, ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE); cs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CURSOR); cs.setString(2, InputParam1); cs.registerOutParameter(3, Types.INTEGER); cs.execute(); ResultSet rs = null; rs = (ResultSet)cs.getObject(1); rs.last(); //code ends Any help will be very much appreciated. - Original Message - From: Mike Curwen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Tomcat Users List' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 03:12 PM Subject: RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer I would send y'all my resume, but ever since the humiliation of the re-usable ResultSet, I'm sure I'm one of those that can't walk yet. ;) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 3:08 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer I agree.

RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer
Howdy, shakes head 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. /shakes head 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.

RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer [off topic]
You might have to call rs.next() first before the rs.last(). I know that prior to getting a ResultSetMetaData object you have to call the rs.next(). Could be the rs.last() requires the same thing (in case there's no records returned). But that's just a guess. --mikej -=-- mike jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: epyonne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 12:44 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer [off topic] Pardon me that it is off topics Speaking about re-usable ResultSet, I am having a little problem with a ResultSet and I cannot find the solution.

RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer [off topic]
Howdy, I too don't think ResultSetMetaData has row count. There's also the hackish but usually OK approach which wraps the SQL query in select count(*). This has the advantage of giving you just the row count without the whole (potentially huge) result set. Something like: int getRowCount(Connection connection, String sql) { String countSql = select count(*) from ( + sql + ); Statement stmt = connection.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(countSql); rs.next(); return rs.getInt(1); } Or something like that...

Re: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer [off topic]
Thanks. But I know for the fact that there should have data in the ResultSet. If I remove the definition for scrollability (is it a word?) and remove the rs.last() method, I get data back. Furthermore, if I do the same thing for stored procedure in SQL Server, it works. And if I do the same thing on regular Statement for Oracle database like this: Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE); It works as well. That makes me think it has something to do with calling an Oracle stored procedure. But I just cannot figure that out where it goes wrong.

How about this: Just because you specify things like: ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE doesn't mean the driver (or database!) would necessarily support those settings. Oracle of course, ought to, but maybe you have an older driver? In your code, do something like this, and see what it says: [code] cs.execute(); ResultSet rs = null; rs = (ResultSet)cs.getObject(1); // what are the results of these? cs.getResultSetConcurrency(); cs.getResultSetType(); [/code] Also, and I admit I've never used stored procs, but the cs.execute() looks funny.

RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer [off topic]
Howdy, These are all tradeoffs, as there are with almost every real-life design decision. With well-maintained modern databases, even complicates queries can run very quickly. This extra row count query, as I said originally, is a way to get the result count without getting the actual full result set. It's useful in some cases and not in others. If you have potentially large results to your queries, this is a prudent approach that slightly sacrifices performance for stability/availability. I.e. it might run a little slower, but it won't crash.

RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer
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.

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).

RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer
It's not that it's difficult, but I think the questions, as asked, are a 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? -Original Message- From: Ruben Gamez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 4:17 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer Does anyone else think that what I'm asking for is so difficult? -Original Message- From: David Rees [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 4:54 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer On Fri, October 17, 2003 at 1:27 pm, Ruben Gamez sent the following The first is a written test which has J2SE, Servlet, and JSP questions.

Re: Java/JSP/Servlet Programmer
If I were going to just post data to a servlet I would probably skip the JSP part :) Maybe have the Servlet forward to a JSP for output. I would probably have a hard time with the lack of documentation. I have a very strong grasp of how things relate and work together but I'm not a rote memorization guy, so stuff like code completion in IDEs helps jog my memory on method names and the like. IMHO, I think conversations about design or concepts can elicit a much better picture of what a candidate does or does not know. Of course, it can be harder to quantify candidates with this method.
