In our previous posts we had mentioned that Ikoko has added 2 mock test of 50 questions each at Skill-Guru
Spring certification mock test 1
Spring certification mock test 2
These tests are priced at $0.99 each . So how good are the tests ?
Follow this discussion on javaranch to see what real users who have been through Spring certification are saying about the test
Failed Core Spring certification
ikoko had added 2nd mock practice test for Spring Certification . He had added first test Core Spring 3.0 Certification Mock and has received very good response from users. The users have found value in the $0.99 test .
We hope that you like his Core Spring 3.0 Certification Mock Test 2 . This test covers topics on container, Test, AOP, SpEL, Database, JMS, JMX, Web, MVC, Remoting etc
Looking for your feedback and inputs.
Once your dynamic site has gone bigger, data in relational database has grown, there is always a need for searching the contents. SQL queries with like ‘%…%’ are useful. But to do multiple columns / table searching, we’ll need to have big SQL queries with different conditions, ANDed and ORed. Such searching is not realistic and can not be maintained and extended easily.
For Hibernate users, Hibernate search helps searching rows from database. Without writing any complex SQL queries, you can search multiple columns and get related objects from db.
In our site Skill-Guru , you will notice a search box on the right hand side. We have enabled the search on few tables and columns initially. Currently it will search for the tests , description and keywords for the input keyword.

DanielButcher is a Sun J2EE architect who has sat 5 Sun certifications, Core Spring and PRINCE2. He has over ten years enterprise level Java experience and over 5 years Spring experience.
He has created Core Spring Certification practice test at Skill-Guru. It is a 50 questions test priced at $0.99 and 10 questions are free. An absolute bargain !!
Take the Spring certification practice test before you take that Spring certification.
Overview
Previous versions of Java provided a limited and ad-hoc mechanism for annotating code through JavaDoc comments
Java 1.5 allows both runtime and compile-time processing of annotation data. Annotations are said to annotate a Java element. A good example is the @deprecated JavaDoc tag. The @deprecated tag is used for documentation purposes. This tag has no effect on the code it describes, but causes the compiler to produce warnings if any other code references the tagged element.
Annotations will also be used for compile-time checking such as to produce warnings and errors for different failure scenarios. An example of an annotation that is used at compile time is the new @Deprecated annotation, which acts the same as the old @deprecated JavaDoc tag.
How to define an Annotation?
Annotations are defined in following way: Read more…
Web based application beyond a size become complex to manage. Page definitions, managing application flow , state management , orchestration of all this become a difficult task. That is why we have frameworks to ease out this task for us.
One of the choices which come to mind is Spring webflow. Spring webflow is for management of page flow , navigation and state management. It is not an full fledged MVC framework like JSF 2.0 or Apache Struts.
You might get confused by the definition of Spring webflow on its home page
Spring Web Flow is the project in the Spring Portfolio that focuses on providing the infrastructure for building and running rich web applications. As a Spring project, Web Flow builds on the Spring Web MVC framework to provide: Read more…
What is Selenium ?
Selenium is an open source, robust set of tools that supports rapid development of test automation for web-based applications. This tool is primarily developed in Java Script and browser technologies and hence supports all the major browsers on all the platforms. Most of the time, we will not need to change our scripts for them to work on other platforms. Selenium provides a record/playback tool for authoring tests without learning a test scripting language.
Selenium Components
There are three variants of Selenium, which can be used in isolation or in combination to create complete automation suite for the web applications. Each one has a specific role in aiding the development of web application test automation.
If you are getting this error , it because of in correct libraries in your lib folder.
If you are lazy enough to build the project using maven , here is another option
Go to this link
http://www.springsource.org/webflow-samples
Download and run the sample . Copy all the libraries into your project . Make sure you have deleted all the old jar files.
The exception you were seeing earlier should be gone.
