Question 1

Security filters are used in Spring Security in which ways? (select one)
A) To drive authentication
B) To enforce authorization of web requests
C) To provide a logout capability
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

Security filters in Spring Security are used for authentication, authorization, and providing logout capabilities, among other security-related functions.

Question 2

@Transactional(timeout=60) public class ClientServiceImpl implements ClientService { @Transactional(timeout=30) public void update1() {} } What timeout setting is applied to the timeout inside the update1 method? (Select one)
A) 60
B) 30
C) This will not compile. Attributes such as timeout, propagation and isolation cannot be declared at the class level
D) This will not compile. Attributes such as timeout, propagation and isolation cannot be declared at the method level

Accepted Answer

The timeout setting for the update1 method is 30 because method-level annotations override class-level annotations.

Question 3

Assuming a web application context name of "rewardsonline", a servlet mapping of "/admin/*", and an incoming URL of "/rewarsdonline/admin/accounts/show", what is the URL used for Spring MVC request-mapping purposes? (select one)
A) /rewardsonline/admin/accounts/show
B) /admin/acounts/show
C) /accounts/show
D) /show

Accepted Answer

In Spring MVC, the request mapping is relative to the servlet mapping. Since the servlet mapping is "/admin/*", the part of the URL used for request mapping is "/accounts/show".

Question 4

Which of the following statements is NOT true concerning Spring Remoting? (Select one)
A) Spring exporters handle the binding to a registry or exposing an endpoint
B) Spring provides FactoryBeans that generate proxies to handle client-side requirements
C) The client-side implementation must catch RemoteExceptions
D) Spring proxies convert RemoteExceptions to a runtime exception hierarchy

Accepted Answer

Spring remoting abstracts the client-side implementation so that RemoteExceptions are converted to unchecked exceptions, meaning the client-side does not need to catch RemoteExceptions explicitly.

Question 5

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true concerning Spring Transactions? (Select one or several answers)
A) Spring only provides support for declarative transaction management, there is no programmatic support
B) Spring provides declarative transactions only using XML
C) An AOP pointcut can be used to define which methods to advise for transactions
D) Spring's tx namespace enables a concise definition of transactional advice

Accepted Answer

Spring supports both declarative and programmatic transaction management. Declarative transactions can be configured using annotations or XML, and AOP pointcuts can define which methods are transactional. The tx namespace in Spring simplifies the configuration of transactional advice.

Question 6

Select which of the following is a mechanism which can be used with Spring Security to store user details (select one)
A) Database
B) LDAP
C) Properties file
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

Spring Security can use various mechanisms to store user details, including databases, LDAP, and properties files.

Question 7

In what order will these events occur during the initialization of the application? (Select one) Select the best response 1 Setter Dependency Injection 2 Bean constructor 3 call BeanFactoryPostProcessors 4 call BeanPostProcessors
A) 3, 2, 1, 4
B) 4, 2, 1, 3
C) 2, 1, 4, 3
D) 3, 1, 2, 4

Accepted Answer

The correct order is: call BeanFactoryPostProcessors (3), Bean constructor (2), Setter Dependency Injection (1), and call BeanPostProcessors (4).

Question 8

Consider that all Spring beans have been declared within a package called "com.springsource.service". To enable component scanning one must do the following: A) Nothing (component scanning is enabled by default) B) Add to your XML configuration C) Add to your XML configuration D) Remove all other bean definitions from the XML configuration

Accepted Answer

To enable component scanning in Spring, you need to add the `<context:component-scan base-package="com.springsource.service"/>` to your XML configuration. This tells Spring to scan the specified package for components, configurations, and services.

Question 9

Consider the following Spring Security configuration

In order to access to "/accounts/editAccount.htm", what role is required? (select one) A) ROLE_USER B) ROLE_ADMIN C) Both ROLE_USER and ROLE_ADMIN D) No role is required

Accepted Answer

The answer of Consider the following Spring Security configuration <security:http>...

Question 10

Which statement is NOT a characteristic of Spring's PlatformTransactionManager base interface (select one)
A) When declaring a PlatformTransactionManager implementation inside Spring configuration: as a requirement, the bean id should be "transactionManager"
B) The PlatformTransactionManager interface abstracts the differences between local and JTA transactions
C) There are various implementations of JTA transaction managers for different Java EE containers
D) PlatformTransactionManager is used in both declarative and programmatic transaction management

Accepted Answer

The bean id "transactionManager" is a convention, not a requirement. You can use any bean id for a PlatformTransactionManager implementation in Spring configuration.

Question 11

Which of the following statements about Spring @MVC is NOT true (select one)
A) Classes annotated with @Controller annotation can be detected by component scanning and loaded as Spring beans
B) Data can be passed from the controller to the view by use of the special Model parameter
C) Controllers are typically able to delegate to business methods in an application because a reference to a service bean can be injected into the controller
D) The DispatcherServlet, controller beans and other collaborators are all defined and configured in web.xml

Accepted Answer

The DispatcherServlet and other beans are typically configured using Java-based configuration or application context XML files, not necessarily in web.xml.

Question 12

Which statement is NOT true concerning Spring's RMI Proxy Generator (select one)
A) Spring provides a FactoryBean implementation that generates the RMI client-side proxy
B) The client-side proxy converts checked RemoteExceptions into Spring's runtime hierarchy of RemoteAccessExceptions
C) The proxy does not have to dynamically implement the interface of the remote service implementation
D) The client-side proxy contains all necessary information to connect to the remote service, such as the RMI Registry URL

Accepted Answer

The proxy must dynamically implement the interface of the remote service implementation to ensure that method calls are correctly forwarded to the remote service.

Question 13

public class ClientServiceImpl implements ClientService { @Transactional(propagation=Propagation.REQUIRED) public void update1() { update2(); } @Transactional(propagation=Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW) public void update2() { // ... } You are using transactions with Spring AOP. What is happening when the update1 method is called? (Select one)
A) There is only one transaction because the call to update2() is internal (it does not go through the proxy)
B) There is only one transaction because REQUIRES_NEW runs into the active transaction if one already exists
C) There are 2 transactions because REQUIRES_NEW always runs in a new transaction

Accepted Answer

The call to update2() is internal and does not go through the proxy, so the REQUIRES_NEW behavior is not applied, resulting in only one transaction.

Question 14

Which of the following methods is NOT provided by the JmsTemplate? (select one)
A) setDefaultDestination
B) onMessage (asynchronous call)
C) convertAndSend
D) receiveAndConvert (synchronous call)

Accepted Answer

The JmsTemplate does not provide an onMessage method for asynchronous message handling; this is typically handled by a message listener.

Question 15

Consider the following Spring JMS configuration Which of the following statements is truE. (select one) A) Spring will automatically receive messages from the order.queue.destination B) The orderListener bean has to implement javax.jms.MessageListener or Spring's SessionAwareMessageListener interface C) The application needs to run in an application server that provides a JMS implementation out of the box D) Spring will automatically send a response message

Accepted Answer

The answer of Consider the following Spring JMS configuration <jms:listener-container...

Question 16

Which of the following is a valid optional attribute for a transaction definition? (select one)
A) Propagation behavior
B) An isolation level
C) A read-only flag
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

All the options listed (Propagation behavior, An isolation level, and A read-only flag) are valid optional attributes for a transaction definition.

Question 17

Which of the following is NOT true about the @RequestMapping annotation?  (select one)
A) It is an annotation for mapping web requests to controller methods.
B) It is commonly used for component scanning purpose.
C) You can use it only with @Controller annotated classes.

Accepted Answer

@RequestMapping is not used for component scanning; it is used to map web requests to specific handler methods in controller classes. Component scanning is typically done using annotations like @ComponentScan.
