Refer to the Exhibit.
You use the Start button in the administration console to start managed2 successfully. Which two
statements must be true?
A. Managad2 is part of a cluster.
B. The Administration Server is running.
C. Managed2 has applications deployed to it.
D. The Node Manager for machine2 is configured and running.
2
E. The Node Manager for the Administration Server machine is configured and running.
Answer: B,D
Explanation: B: The administration server must be running.
Note: A WebLogic Server administration domain is a logically related group of WebLogic Server
resources. Domains include a special WebLogic Server instance called the Administration Server,
which is the central point from which you configure and manage all resources in the domain.
D:
Node Manager is a WebLogic Server utility that enables you to start, shut down, and restart
Administration Server and Managed Server instances from a remote location. Although Node
Manager is optional, it is recommended if your WebLogic Server environment hosts applications
with high availability requirements.
A Node Manager process is not associated with a specific WebLogic domain but with a machine.
You can use the same Node Manager process to control server instances in any WebLogic Server
domain, as long as the server instances reside on the same machine as the Node Manager
process. Node Manager must run on each computer that hosts WebLogic Server instances --
whether Administration Server or Managed Server -- that you want to control with Node Manager.
QUESTION NO: 3
Within your data center, the Administration and Managed Servers utilize a shared, central storage
device, which servers access via NFS.
In this scenario, your application files no longer need to be copied to servers across the network.
Which server attribute allows you to override this behavior?
A. Startup Mode
B. Staging Mode
C. Root Directory
D. Listen Address
Answer: B
Explanation: The server staging mode specifies the default deployment mode for a server if none
is specified at deployment time. For example, the server staging mode is used if you deploy an
application or module using weblogic.Deployer and you do not specify a staging mode.

translation. Which cluster attribute should you modify to ensure that load balancing and failover
work correctly?
A. Multicast Address
B. Persistent Store
C. Cluster Address
D. Migration Basis
E. Replication Channel
Answer: C
Explanation: Note:

Explanation: A Managed Server is a WebLogic Server instance that runs deployed applications. It
refers to the Administration Server for all of its configuration and deployment information. Usually,
you use Managed Servers to run applications in a production environment.
See step 4 and 5 below in particular:
To use the WebLogic Server scripts to start Managed Servers:
See Creating WebLogic Domains Using the ConfigurationWizard or "Create Managed Servers" in
the Administration Console Online Help.
where DOMAIN_NAME is the directory in which you located the domain. By default, this directory
is BEA_HOME\user_projects\domains\DOMAIN_NAME.
where managed_server_name specifies the name of the Managed Server and admin_url
specifies the listen address (host name or IP address) and port number of the domain's
Administration Server.
For example, the following command uses startManagedWebLogic.cmd to start a Managed Server
named myManagedServer. The listen address for the domain's Administration Server
is AdminHost:7001:
c:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd myManagedServer

QUESTION NO: 12
Consider a single JMS module that includes a connection factory as well as queue.
Based on your systems requirements, the connection factory needs to be made available to all
servers in the domain. The queue, on the other hand, can be targeted to only a single JMS server
domain.
What is the best way to achieve the desired JMS setup?
A. Create two subdeployments within the JMS module.
B. Target the JMS server to the JMS module.
C. Target the JMS module to the entire domain.
D. Replace the queue with a topic.
Answer: A
Explanation: A subdeployment is a mechanism by which JMS module resources (such as
queues, topics, and connection factories) are grouped and targeted to a server resource (such as
JMS servers, server instances, SAF agents, or a cluster).
For example, you can group a connection factory with stand-alone queues or topics in a sub-
deployment targeted to a specific JMS server, which guarantees that all these resources are co-
located to avoid extra network traffic. Another advantage of such a configuration would be if the
targeted JMS server needs to be migrated to another WebLogic server instance, then the con-
nection factory and all its connections will also migrate along with the JMS server's destinations.
However, when stand-alone queues or topics are members of a subdeployment, a connection
factory can only be targeted to the same JMS server.

Explanation: A: Main Steps for Creating Packaged JMS Application Modules
Follow these steps to configure a packaged JMS module:
If necessary, create a JMS server to target the JMS module to, as explained in "Configure JMS
Servers" in the Administration Console Online Help.
Create a JMS system module and configure the necessary resources, such as queues or topics,
as described in "Configure JMS system modules and add JMS resources" in the Administration
Console Online Help.
The system module is saved in config\jms subdirectory of the domain directory, with a "-jms.xml"
suffix.
Copy the system module to a new location, and then:
Give the module a unique name within the domain namespace.
Delete the JNDI-Name attribute to make the module application-scoped to only the application.
Add references to the JMS resources in the module to all applicable J2EE application com-
ponent's descriptor files, as described in Referencing a Packaged JMS Application Module In
Deployment Descriptor Files.
Package all application modules in an EAR, as described in Packaging an Enterprise Application
With a JMS Application Module.
Deploy the EAR, as described in Deploying a Packaged JMS Application Module.
11
D:JMS application modules can be packaged as part of an Enterprise Application Archive (EAR),
as a packaged module. Packaged modules are bundled with an EAR or exploded EAR directory,
and are referenced in the weblogic-application.xml descriptor.
The packaged JMS module is deployed along with the Enterprise Application, and the resources
defined in this module can optionally be made available only to the enclosing application (i.e., as
an application-scoped resource). Such modules are particularly useful when packaged with EJBs
(especially MDBs) or Web Applications that use JMS resources. Using packaged modules
ensures that an application always has required resources and simplifies the process of moving
the application into new environments.

Which two statements are true about a WebLogic domain?
A. It is the basic administrative unit of WebLogic Server.
B. It is an optional administrative construct to organize groups of WebLogic
12
C. Administration Servers are defined within a domain, but Managed Servers
D. You must first have a domain to define a WebLogic Server cluster.
E. Every domain has one Administration Server and at least one managed server
Answer: A,D
Explanation: A: A domain is the basic administration unit for WebLogic Server instances.
D: To define a WebLogic Server cluster there must be a domain:
Note:Before you start the Managed Servers in a domain, start the Administration Server. When
you start a standalone or clustered Managed Server, it contacts the Administration Server for its
configuration information. In this way, the Administration Server operates as the central control
entity for the configuration of the entire domain.

QUESTION NO: 18
Which two statements are true about multicast communication within a cluster?
A. Multicast can be used for cluster heartbeat messages.
B. Multicast is used to replicate session state between servers.
C. Multiple clusters can share the same multicast address and port.
D. You may disable multicast on individual cluster members.
E. Multicast traffic is often limited to a single subnet.
Answer: A,E
Explanation: A: WebLogic Server instances in a cluster communicate with one another using two
basic network technologies:
* IP sockets, which are the conduits for peer-to-peer communication between clustered server
instances.
* IP unicast or multicast, which server instances use to broadcast availability of services and
heartbeats that indicate continued availability.
E: In many deployments, clustered server instances reside within a single subnet, ensuring
multicast messages are reliably transmitted. However, you may want to distribute a WebLogic
Server cluster across multiple subnets in a Wide Area Network (WAN) to increase redundancy, or
to distribute clustered server instances over a larger geographical area.

A. A user is associated with a single security provider.
B. A user can be a member of several groups.
C. A group can contain other groups.
D. A group consists of a name and a password.
E. A group is associated with multiple security providers.
F. Both users and groups are assigned a keystore.
Answer: B,C,E
Explanation: B: For efficient security management, BEA recommends adding users to groups. A
group is a collection of users who usually have something in common, such as working in the
same department in a company.
C: Example of group nesting:
Every user is a member of the everyone group.
The users group is nested within the everyone group.
E (not A): You can configure more than one security provider of a given type in a security realm.
For example, you might use two or more different Role Mapping providers or Authorization
providers. If you have more than one security provider of the same type in a security realm, the
order in which these providers are called can affect the overall outcome of the security processes.
By default, security providers are called in the order that they were added to the realm. You can
use the Administration Console to change the order of the providers.
Note: Security Providers - are modules that provide security service to application to protect
Weblogic resource. Types of security providers in WebLogic Server are
Authentication Provider, Authorization Provider, Auditing Providers, Credential Mapping Provider,
Identity Assertion Provider, Principal Validation Provider, Adjudication Providers, Role Mapping
Providers, Certificate Lookup and Validation Providers, Keystore Providers and Realm Adapter
providers
QUESTION NO: 22
Your production JMS server and/or its consumers are not able to handle the incoming message
workload. The number of messages on the server never stabilizes and the server eventually
becomes overload.
Which JMS server attribute will best help prevent the JMS server from being overloaded by
producers?
A. Producer Pause High
15
B. Messages Threshold High
C. Reconnect Polity
D. Paging Directory
E. Pool Maximum Capacity
Answer: B
Explanation: JMS Configuration option ' Messages Threshold High':
The upper threshold (number of messages stored in this JMS server) that triggers flow control and
logging events. A value of -1 disables the events for this JMS server.
If the number of messages exceeds this threshold, the triggered events are:
Log Messages
- A message is logged on the server indicating a high threshold condition.
Flow Control
- If flow control is enabled, the JMS server becomes armed and instructs producers to begin
decreasing their message flow.

QUESTION NO: 23
Which three statements are true about WebLogic clusters?
A. Clusters provide clients with transparent failover.
B. EJB applications can be targeted to an entire cluster.
C. All cluster members must bind to the same port number.
D. Cluster members replicate application data by using heartbeats.
E. Cluster members can be associated with one or more domains.
F. Web applications require a proxy in order to be used in a cluster.
Answer: A,B,C
Explanation: A: If an object is clustered, failover and load balancing for that object is available. In
a WebLogic Server cluster, application processing can continue when a server instance fails. You
cluster application components by deploying them on multiple server instances in the cluster
so, if a server instance on which a component is running fails, another server instance on which
that component is deployed can continue application processing.
The choice to cluster WebLogic Server instances is transparent to application developers and
clients.
16
B: A clustered application or application component is one that is available on multiple WebLogic
Server instances in a cluster. If an object is clustered, failover and load balancing for that object is
available. Deploy objects homogeneouslyto every server instance in your clusterto simplify
cluster administration, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Web applications can consist of different types of objects, including Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs),
servlets, and Java Server Pages (JSPs).
Note: Load balancing and failover for EJBs and RMI objects is handled using replica-aware stubs,
which can locate instances of the object throughout the cluster.
C: Cluster Multicast Address and Port

Which three statements are true when an Administration Server is compared to a managed
server?
A. A domain must have at least one of each type of server.
B. Administration Server keeps a domain log, but a Managed Server does not.
C. A Managed Server keeps a server log, but an Administration Server does not.
D. When a Managed Server comes up, it asks its Administration Server for the latest configuration.
E. An Administration Server manages the domain configuration.
F. JEE applications are deployed only to a Managed Server.
Answer: D,E,F
Explanation: D: When a Managed Server starts, it contacts the Administration Server to retrieve
its configuration information. If a Managed Server is unable to connect to the
specifiedAdministration Server during startup, it can retrieve its configuration directly by reading a
copy of the config.xml file and other files located on the Managed Server's own file system.
E:One instance of WebLogic Server in each domain acts as an Administration Server.The
Administration Server provides a central point for managing a WebLogic Server domain.
F: For a typical production system, BEA recommends that you deploy your applications only on
Managed Servers. This practice allows you to dedicate the Administration Server to configuration
and monitoring of the domain, while one or more Managed Servers service your applications.

Explanation: A: Each connection in a data source has its own individual cache of prepared and
callable statements used on the connection. However, you configure statement cache options per
data source. That is, the statement cache for each connection in a data source uses the statement
cache options specified for the data source, but each connection caches it's own statements.
E: When Test Connections On Reserve is enabled, when your application requests a connection
from the data source, WebLogic Server tests the connection using the query specified in Test
Table Name before giving the connection to the application.
Testing reserved connections can cause a delay in satisfying connection requests, but it makes
sure that the connection is viable when the application gets the connection.

You have selected Configuration Archive Enabled for the domain. When a configuration change
and activated, where is the previous version of the configuration archived?
A. in the Oracle database
B. in the config directory
C. in the pending directory
D. in the console-ext directory
E. in the configArchive directory
Answer: E
Explanation: You can configure WebLogic Server to make backup copies of the configuration
files. This facilitates recovery in cases where configuration changes need to be reversed or the
unlikely case that configuration files become corrupted. When the Administration Server starts up,
it saves a JAR file named config-booted.jar that contains the configuration files. When you make
changes to the configuration files, the old files are saved in the configArchive directory under the
domain directory, in a JAR file with a sequentially-numbered name like config-1.jar.

QUESTION NO: 32
When a typical application utilizes a JDBC data source, the process involves several steps.
Identify three of these steps.
A. The application returns the connection to the data source.
B. The application looks up the data source using the JNDI name.
C. The application tests the connection to verify the database's availability.
D. The application adds a new connection to the data source if none are available.
E. The application requests a connection from the data source.
Answer: B,D,E
Explanation: Applications look up the data source on the JNDI tree or in the local application
context (B) and then reserve a database connection with the getConnection (E) method. Data
22
sources and their connection pools provide connection management processes that help keep
your system running and performant.
B: JNDI Name - Enter the JNDI path to where this JDBC data source will be bound. Applications
look up the data source on the JNDI tree by this name when reserving a connection.
Note: If you've done any work with JDBC DataSources in a Web application, you already
understand the basic process: create an initial JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface)
context, then use the context to perform a "lookup" to retrieve your DataSource.

As an Oracle WebLogic Server administrator, you are given an EAR file application to deploy.
Identity three reasons for creating an EAR file first.
A. After the .ear file has been deployed, the developer will not have to ask for your assistance to
deploy it again.
B. The EAR file is created to avoid namespace clashes in the Java code.
C. The EAR file can contain multiple WAR, EAR, and other resources to easily bundle together.
D. The EAR file is required if you are deploying an application.
E. The EAR file can declare application-wide security roles definitions.
Answer: A,B,E
Explanation:
E: An EARfile contains:
* Web module
A WAR file containing the view logics like JSPs, Servlets, Html contents. Every web module must
have one Web Deployment descriptor placed inside WEB-INF/web.xml
web.xml is a J2EE standard deployment descriptor. Among other settings, it has a set of elements
for configuring security for the web application.
Note:
*An EAR file provides a convenient way to bundle up all pieces of a J2EE application. It may
contain Java Module, WAR Module or an EJB Jar module.
23
An EAR can contain at least any one of these modules. EAR may contain more Modules as well.
*To bring your portal online in a production environment, it is first necessary to prepare your portal
application. Typical preparation steps include modifying deployment descriptors for the product,
building the Enterprise archive (EAR) with all its pre-compiled classes, and deciding if you want to
compress that EAR into an archive or leave it exploded.

QUESTION NO: 35
A managed server, myserver1, has a boot.properties file in the security directory. It was started
with the startManageWeblogic.sh script(.cmd in windows) and his boot.properties file was used for
its startup credentials.
You just used the administration console to change all administrator passwords. To continue using
boot.properties, what can you do?
A. This is not possible. A boot.properties file can be used only with the Administration Server.
B. Delete boot.properties. In the administration console, under the myserver configuration, select
Generate Boot Identity file.
C. You need not do anything- The password in boot .properties was automatically updated by
administration console when you changed the password.
D. Edit boot.propetties. Type over the encrypted password with the new password in clear text.
The next time myserver1 is started, it will encrypt the password in the file.
E. Delete boot .properties. Use the WLST encrypt () command to create a new boot.properties file
containing the new password. Copy that file into the security directory of myserver1
Answer: D
Explanation: If you install the WebLogic Server Examples component, the default user weblogic
is created that has permission to start and stop WebLogic Server. The default password is
welcome1. If you change the password of the weblogic user, WebLogic Server does not
automatically update this password in the boot.properties file, which is located in the
DOMAIN_NAME/servers/AdminServer/security directory.
If you change the password for user weblogic, you can use either of the following workarounds so
that you can continue to boot a WebLogic Server instance via that username and its new pass-
word:
* Remove the boot.properties file. Subsequently each time you start WebLogic Server, you are
prompted for the username and password. The changed password for the weblogic user will be
accepted.
* Modify the existing boot.properties file, changing the username and password as follows:
username=weblogic
password=welcome1
Subsequently during the server startup process, the boot.properties file is encrypted again.

Note: Create a new WebLogic Server domain based on a template. Templates allow you to
recreate an existing domain for use in another context, such as migrating a domain containing
an application under development to a production environment.
C: An Administration Console extension is a WAR file that contains the resources for a
section of a WebLogic Portal Web application. When you deploy the extension, the
Administration Console creates an in-memory union of the files and directories in its
WAR file with the files and directories in the extension WAR file. Once the extension
has been deployed, it is a full member of the Administration Console: it is secured by
the WebLogic Server security realm, it can navigate to other sections of the Adminis-
tration Console, and if the extension modifies WebLogic Server resources, it
30
participates in the change control process.
D: Basic Policy Conditions
The basic policy conditions that are available in this release of WebLogic Server include:
* Server is in Development ModeAllows access if the server that hosts the resource is running in
development mode.
Note:In the development mode, the configuration of security is relatively relaxed, allowing you to
auto-deploy applications.

A. Listen Address
B. Cluster Address
C. Cluster Factory
D. Messaging Mode
E. Servers
F. Targets
Answer: B,D,E
Explanation: WebLogic Cluster Attributes includes:
B: * ClusterAddress
Defines the address to be used by clients to connect to this cluster. This address may be either a
DNS host name that maps to multiple IP addresses or a comma separated list of single address
host names or IP addresses. If network channels are configured, it is possible to set the cluster
address on a per channel basis.
D: The Message Mode of a cluster can be either Unicast or multicast.
E: Managed Servers are included in a WebLogic cluster.
34
Note:The config.xml file is an XML document that describes the configuration of a WebLogic
Server domain. config.xml consists of a series of XML elements. The Domain element is the top-
level element, and all elements in the Domain descend from the Domain element. The Domain
element includes child elements, such as the Server, Cluster, and Application elements. These
child elements may have children of their own. For example, the Server element includes the child
elements WebServer, SSL and Log. The Application element includes the child elements
EJBComponent and WebAppComponent.
Each element has one or more configurable attributes. An attribute defined in config.dtd has a cor-
responding attribute in the configuration API. For example, the Server element has a ListenPort
attribute, and likewise, the weblogic.management.configuration.ServerMBean has a ListenPort
attribute. Configurable attributes are readable and writable, that is, ServerMBean has a
getListenPort and a setListenPort method.

QUESTION NO: 46
A client accesses a web application named companystore that is running on WebLogic Server.
After adding several items to the shopping cart, the host server crashes. The client is automatically
redirected to another server by a proxy, but the shopping cart is now empty.
Which WebLogic Server feature would you enable to remedy this situation?
A. Application Persistence
B. Message Persistence
C. Session Replication
D. Dynamic Failover
E. Stateful Pooling
Answer: C
Explanation: In order for a cluster to provide high availability it must be able to recover from
service failures.
In clusters that utilize Web servers with WebLogic proxy plug-ins, the proxy plug-in handles
failover transparently to the client. If a server fails, the plug-in locates the replicated HTTP session
state on a secondary server and redirects the client's request accordingly.

Which three statements are true about the Change Center in administration console?
A. The Change Center has a link to view the changes made so far.
B. The Change Center is available only in a Production Mode domain.
C. The Change Center has a link to view any servers that need to be restarted.
D. After activating the changes to a server's configuration, you must always restart that server.
E. In a Development Mode domain, the configuration lock can be acquired automatically.
F. Changes must always be activated before they can be undone.
Answer: A,C,F
Explanation: A: You can view any changes that you have saved, but not yet activated, by clicking
the View Changes and Restarts link in the Change Center.
C: The View Changes and Restarts link presents two tabs, Change List and Restart Checklist:
* The Change List tab presents all changes that have been saved, but not yet activated.
* The Restart Checklist lists all servers for which non-dynamic changes have been activated, but
which require restarts before the changes become effective.
F (not D):As you make configuration changes using the Administration Console, you click Save (or
in some cases Finish) on the appropriate pages. This does not cause the changes to take effect
immediately. The changes take effect when you click Activate Changes in the Change Center. At
that point, the configuration changes are distributed to each of the servers in the domain. If the
changes are acceptable to each of the servers, then they take effect. If any server cannot accept a
change, then all of the changes are rolled back from all of the servers in the domain. The changes
are left in a pending state; you can then either edit the pending changes to resolve the problem or
revert the pending changes.
Note: To change a production domains configuration, you must:
1. Locate the Change Center in the upper left of the Administration Console screen.
2. Click the Lock & Edit button to lock the configuration edit hierarchy for the domain.
3. Make the changes you desire on the relevant page of the Console. Click Save on each page
where you make a change.
4. When you have finished making all the desired changes, click Activate Changes in the Change
Center.
You can revert any pending (saved, but not yet activated) changes by clicking Undo All Changes
in the Change Center. You can revert any individual change by going to the appropriate page in
36
the Administration Console and restoring the attribute to its previous value.

Identify two reasons for defining machines and assigning servers to them in Weblogic Server.
A. A machine can be the proxy to a cluster.
B. A machine definition is required to configure the Node Manager.
C. To reference an instance of WebLogic Server, you must know its machine and port.
D. Machine is a required organizational unit. A domain contains machines and machines contain
servers.
E. WebLogic Server uses server machine assignments to help it choose servers in a cluster on
which to replicate session state.
F. The machine's Cluster Weight attribute may be used by load balancers to help them determine
how often to send requests to servers assigned to that machine.
Answer: B,E
Explanation: B: The Administration Server uses the machine definition in conjunction with the
Node Manager application to start remote WebLogic Server instances.
E: By default, WebLogic Server attempts to create session state replicas on a different machine
than the one that hosts the primary session state. You can further control where secondary states
are placed using replication groups. A replication group is a preferred list of clustered servers to be
used for storing session state replicas.
Using the WebLogic Server Console, you can define unique machine names that will host in-
dividual server instances. These machine names can be associated with new WebLogic Server
instances to identify where the servers reside in your system.
Machine names are generally used to indicate servers that run on the same machine.

command-line utility to store it in your keystore. Which command of keytool would you us
A. genkeypair
B. importcert
39
C. gensockey
D. importkeystore
E. storepasswd
Answer: B
Explanation: B: keytool import
Reads the certificate or certificate chain (where the latter is supplied in a PKCS#7 formatted reply)
from the file cert_file, and stores it in the keystore entry identified by alias. If no file is given, the
certificate or PKCS#7 reply is read from stdin. keytool can import X.509 v1, v2, and v3 certificates,
and PKCS#7 formatted certificate chains consisting of certificates of that type.

QUESTION NO: 55
Which three statements are true about the default behavior of WebLogic Server proxy plug-ins?
A. The proxy will pin a client to a specific server if a session cookie is created.
B. The proxy fails over to another server if a connection or request times out.
C. The proxy distributes requests to cluster members based on their CPU usage.
D. The proxy dynamically learns the latest locations of cluster members.
E. The proxy always uses SSL, regardless of the client's protocol.
F. The proxy replicates session data to its backup proxy.
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation: A: When the HTTP client requests the servlet, HttpClusterServlet proxies the re-
quest to the WebLogic Server cluster. HttpClusterServlet maintains the list of all servers in the
cluster, and the load balancing logic to use when accessing the cluster. In the above example,
HttpClusterServlet routes the client request to the servlet hosted on WebLogic Server A.
WebLogic Server A becomes the primary server hosting the client's servlet session.
To provide failover services for the servlet, the primary server replicates the client's servlet session
41
state to a secondary WebLogic Server in the cluster. This ensures that a replica of the session
state exists even if the primary server fails (for example, due to a network failure). In the example
above, Server B is selected as the secondary.
The servlet page is returned to the client through the HttpClusterServlet, and the client browser is
instructed to write a cookie that lists the primary and secondary locations of the servlet session
state. If the client browser does not support cookies, WebLogic Server can use URL rewriting
instead.
Figure, Accessing Servlets and JSPs using a Proxy:
B: In clusters that utilize Web servers with WebLogic proxy plug-ins, the proxy plug-in handles
failover transparently to the client. If a server fails, the plug-in locates the replicated HTTP session
state on a secondary server and redirects the client's request accordingly.
D: The WebLogic proxy plug-in maintains a list of WebLogic Server instances that host a clustered
servlet or JSP, and forwards HTTP requests to those instances on a round-robin basis.

A. The application is not associated with any security roles.
B. Multiple security realms are active at the same time.
C. Your user account is a member of a group.
D. Your user account exists in an authentication provider.
E. A security policy is attached to the "publish" link URL.
Answer: D,E
Explanation: D: You were able to log in to the web application that is deployed through
WebLogic.
In WebLogic Server, Authentication providers are used to prove the identity of users or system
processes.
This implies that your account exists in an authentication provider.
E: Extra security is needed to use the publish link. This could be explained by a security policy

You have set Server log Rotation criteria to either size or time. When a domain is in Production
Mode, which statement is true?
A. Log files are rotated when the server restarts.
B. Log files are not rotated in Production Mode.
C. Log files are rotated only when the rotation criteria are met.
D. Log files are rotated when the rotation criteria are met or rotated when the server restarts
Answer: C
Explanation: By default, when you start a server instance in production mode, the server rotates
its local log file whenever the file grows to 5000 kilobytes in size. It does not rotate the local server
log file when you start the server.
You can change these default settings for log file rotation. For example, you can change the file
size at which the server rotates the log file or you can configure a server to rotate log files based
on a time interval. You can also specify the maximum number of rotated files that can accumulate.
After the number of log files reaches this number, subsequent file rotations delete the oldest log
file and create a new log file with the latest suffix.

QUESTION NO: 63
Which three methods does WebLogic provide to implement persistent JMS messaging?
A. Create a file store and assign it to a JMS server.
B. Create a JDBC store and assign it to a JMS server.
C. Configure a file store within a JMS module.
D. Configure the domain's default store.
E. Use the target server's default store.
Answer: A,B,E
Explanation: A: The main steps for creating a custom file store are as follows:
1.Create a directory where the file stores data will be persisted.
2.Create a custom file store and specify the directory location that you created.
3.Associate the custom file store with the subsystem(s) or migratable target that will be accessing
48
it, such as:
*For JMS servers, select the custom file store on the General Configuration page.
*For Store-and-Forward agents, select the custom file store on the General Configuration page.
*For a Path Service, select the custom file store on the General Configuration page.
B: The main steps for creating a JDBC store are as follows:
Create a JDBC data source or multi data source to interface with the JDBC store.
Create a JDBC store and associate it with the JDBC data source or multi data source.
It is highly recommended that you configure the Prefix option to a unique value for each configured
JDBC store table.
Associate the JDBC store with the subsystem(s) that will be using it, such as:
For JMS servers, select the JDBC store on the General Configuration page.
For Store-and-Forward agents, select the JDBC store on the General Configuration page.
For a Path Service, select the custom file store on the General Configuration page.
E:Each server instance, including the administration server, has a default persistent store that
requires no configuration.
Note:
When a persistent message is sent, it is stored in the WebLogic Persistent Store.
The persistent store provides a built-in, high-performance storage solution for WebLogic Server
subsystems and services that require persistence. For example, it can store persistent JMS
messages or temporarily store messages sent using the Store-and-Forward feature. The
persistent store supports persistence to a file-based store or to a JDBC-enabled database.
Note 2: A persistent message is guaranteed to be delivered once-and-only-once. The message
cannot be lost due to a JMS provider failure and it must not be delivered twice. It is not considered
sent until it has been safely written to a file or database. WebLogic JMS writes persistent
messages to a WebLogic persistent store (disk-base file or JDBC-accessible database) that is
optionally targeted by each JMS server during configuration.

Managed Server Independence enabled is not selected in the configuration of myserver1. Which
statement is true?
49
A. Only the Node Manager can start myserver1
B. Only a local start script can start myserver1
C. Myserver1 cannot be part of a cluster.
D. The Administration Server must be available before starting myserver1
Answer: D
Explanation: To prevent the Administration Server from becoming a single point of failure,
Managed Servers can always function without the presence a running Administration Server.
When a Managed Server starts, it contacts the Administration Server to retrieve its configuration
information. If a Managed Server is unable to connect to the specified Administration Server dur-
ing startup, it can retrieve its configuration directly by reading a copy of the config.xml file and
other files located on the Managed Server's own file system.
A Managed Server that starts in this way is running in Managed Server Independence mode. In
this mode, a server uses cached application files to deploy the applications that are targeted to the
server.

You have opened a terminal window (or a Window command prompt) to run a WLST script named
weeklydeployer.py. You enter the following command:
Java weblogic.WLST weeklydeployer.py
Instead of the WLST initializing and the script running, however, you receive the
NoClassDefFoundError java exception for weblogic/WLST.
What is the problem?
A. You forgot to set PATH to include the java executable.
B. There is an error in the code of the script.
C. You forgot to set CLASSPATH to include weblogic.jar.
D. You are not in the directory where weeklydeployer.py resides.
E. You should have omitted the ".py" in the file name; it is assumed by WLST.
F. You forgot to set PATH to include the WLST executable.

QUESTION NO: 66
You monitor a running JMS topic with the console and note the following values:
Consumers Current = 3
Message Current = 1
Message Pending = 0
These values do not change for several minutes. Which is the most plausible explanation?
A. Production on the topic has been paused.
B. A message arrived after a durable subscribe disconnected from the topic.
C. One of the consumers received a message but did not acknowledge it.
D. None of the consumers are durable subscribes.
Answer: B
Explanation: For durable subscriptions, WebLogic JMS stores a message in a persistent file or
database until the message has been delivered to the subscribers or has expired, even if those
subscribers are not active at the time that the message is delivered.
Note #1: Durable subscriptions means that weblogic server will store the messages in a persistent
store (i.e a file-store or a JDBC-store) until those messages are delivered to the subscribers/
listener. This technic helps weblogic server to make sure that the messages get delivered even if
those subscribers/listeners are not active at the time that the message is getting delivered.
As all of us know that in Topics the senders/producers just send the messages to the topic and
the receivers/listeners have subscribe them self to get those messages, hence senders/producers
51
does not have any concern if the messages are been received or not. However with this feature
weblogic make sure all the subscribers would get the messages as the messages gets stored in a
persistence store.
Note #2:
*Consumers Current Count: Current number of consumers accessing this destination
* MessagesCurrentCount: The current number of messages in the destination. This does not
include the pending messages.
* MessagesPendingCount: The number of pending messages in the destination.
Pending messages are over and above the current number of messages. A pending message is
one that has either been sent in a transaction and not committed, or that has been received and
not committed or acknowledged.

Which statement best describes WebLogs default application staging behavior?
A. The Administration Sever distributes application files when the application is first accessed by a
client.
B. The Administration Sever copied application files to a database that is shared with the
Managed Servers.
C. The Managed Servers obtain application files from a disk that is shared with the Administration
Server.
D. The Administration Sever distributes copied of application files over the network to the
Managed Servers.
Answer: D
Explanation: Deployment Staging Mode: stage
Behavior: The Administration Server first copies the deployment unit source files to the staging
directories of target servers specified by the Staging Directory Name attribute.
The target servers then deploy using their local copy of the deployment files.
Note: The deployment staging mode determines how deployment files are made available to
target servers that must deploy an application or standalone module. WebLogic Server provides
three different options for staging files: stage mode, nostage mode, and external_stage mode. The
52

QUESTION NO: 69
You create a system-wide JMS module named Payroll-JMS and set its default target to an existing
cluster in your domain named PayrollCluster. Next, you add a standard JMS topic to Payroll-JMS.
To which are you permitted to target this topic?
A. the entire PayrollCluster
B. any single JMS server in the domain
C. any combination of member servers in Payrollcluster
D. several JMS servers targeted to PayrollCluster
Answer: B
Explanation: JMS system modules are owned by the Administrator, who can delete, modify, or
add JMS system resources at any time. With the exception of standalone queue and topic
resources that must be targeted to a single JMS server, the connection factory, distributed
destination, foreign server, and JMS SAF destination resources in system modules can be made
globally available by targeting them to server instances and clusters configured in the WebLogic
domain. These resources are therefore available to all applications deployed on the same targets
and to client applications.
Note #1: JMS modules are application-related definitions that are independent of the domain en-
vironment. You create and manage JMS resources either as system modules or as application
modules.
System modules are globally available for targeting to servers and clusters configured in the
domain, and therefore are available to all applications deployed on the same targets and to client
applications.
Note #2: JMS servers are environment-related configuration entities that act as management
containers for the queues and topics in JMS modules that are targeted to them. A JMS server's
primary responsibility for its destinations is to maintain information on what persistent store is used
for any persistent messages that arrive on the destinations, and to maintain the states of durable
subscribers created on the destinations. JMS servers also manage message paging on des-
tinations, and, optionally, can manage message and/or byte thresholds, as well as server-level
quota for its targeted destinations. As a container for targeted destinations, any configuration or
run-time changes to a JMS server can affect all the destinations that it hosts.

The projects architect has provided you with a design diagram that identifies the key components
of the new insurance system. From the diagram, you can clearly see that JMS will be used as the
communication channel between several applications. Identify four tasks that you may need to
perform to support this design.
A. Create a JMS server
B. Create a JMS message template
C. Add JMS destinations to a JMS module
D. Add a JMS module to a JMS factory
E. Target JMS destinations to JMS servers
F. Target a JMS server to a WebLogic Server
G. Target a JMS module to a JMS store
Answer: A,C,E,F
Explanation:
A: If necessary, create a JMS server to target the JMS module.
F: Target the JMS Server to a weblogic server
Note: The major components of the WebLogic JMS Server architecture:
* JMS servers that can host a defined set of modules and any associated persistent storage that
reside on a WebLogic Server instance.
* JMS modules contains configuration resources (such as queues, topics, and connections
factories) and are defined by XML documents that conform to the weblogic-jms.xsd schema.
* Client JMS applications that either produce messages to destinations or consume messages
from destinations.
* JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface), which provides a resource lookup facility. JMS
resources such as connection factories and destinations are configured with a JNDI name. The
runtime implementations of these resources are then bound into JNDI using the given names.
* WebLogic persistent storage (file store or JDBC-accessible) for storing persistent message data.

Which three statements are true about the Node Manager?
55
A. The Node Manager can restart the Managed Serves that have failed.
B. The Node Manager should be run as either a daemon or a service so that if the host computer
is rebooted, the Node Manager will also be automatically started.
C. The Node Manager runs on a different host from the Managed Server it is controlling.
D. The Node Manager can start a Managed Server the first time the Managed Server starts if the
Administration Server is unavailable because MSI mode is enabled by default.
E. The Node Manager allows you to start Managed Servers from the administration console.
Answer: A,B,E
Explanation: A, E: Node Manager enables you to perform these tasks:
* Start and stop remote Managed Servers. (E)
* Monitor the self-reported health of Managed Servers and automatically kill server instances
whose health state is "failed".
* Automatically restart Managed Servers that have the "failed" health state, or have shut down
unexpectedly due to a system crash or reboot. (A)
B: The WebLogic Server installation process installs Node Manager to run as an operating system
service: a daemon on UNIX machines, or a Windows service on Windows-based machines. An
operating system service starts up automatically each time the operating system boots.
A key Node Manager feature is the ability to restart Managed Servers after a failure. If the failure is
a machine crash, running Node Manager as a service ensures that Node Manager starts up
automatically when the machine reboots, and is available to restart Managed Servers on that
machine.
E: Requests from the Administration Console (or JMX utilities such as weblogic.Admin) to start a
Managed Server using Node Manager are issued to the Administration Server for the domain that
contains the Managed Server.

You have made several changes to variable attributes on a managed server within a domain.
You first locked the console, made some nondynamic changes, made some dynamic changes as
well, and then activated your changes. Which statement is true?
A. All the changes that you made on the server will take effect immediately.
B. The dynamic changes that you made will take effect immediately and the changes that are
nondynamic will take effect after the server is restarted.
C. The changes that you made on the server will not take effect until you restart the server.
56
D. You will receive an error because you cannot make dynamic and nondynamic changes to a
server at the same time.
Answer: C
Explanation: If a change is made to a non-dynamic configuration setting, no changes to dynamic
configuration settings will take effect until after restart. This is to assure that a batch of updates
having a combination of dynamic and non-dynamic attribute edits will not be partially activated.
Note:Some changes you make in the Administration Console take place immediately when you
activate them. Other changes require you to restart the server or module affected by the change.
These latter changes are called non-dynamic changes.
Changes to dynamic configuration attributes become available once they are activated, without
restarting the affected server or system restart. These changes are made available to the server
and runtime hierarchies once they are activated. Changes to non-dynamic configuration attributes
require that the affected servers or system resources be restarted before they become effective.

When you use the Embedded LDAP that is supplied by Oracle WebLogic Server, which three
statements are true?
A. The Embedded LDAP can be used to store user, group, security roles and security policies for
the WebLogic security providers.
B. The Embedded LDAP uses the file system to store Weblogic security provider data.
C. The Embedded LDAP can be accessed by an external LDAP viewer.
D. The Embedded LDAP cannot be used in a production environment
E. The Embedded LDAP can store Auditing Data.
Answer: A,C,E
Explanation: A: The embedded LDAP server contains user, group, group membership, security
role, security policy, and credential map information.
C: The credential (usually a password) used to connect to the embedded LDAP server. If this
password has not been set, WebLogic Server generates a password at startup, initializes the
attribute, and saves the configuration to the config.xml file. If you want to connect to the embedded
LDAP server using an external LDAP browser and the embedded LDAP administrator account
(cn=Admin), change this attribute from the generated value.
57
E: You can use either the WebLogic Auditing provider or a custom Auditing provider in a security
realm. Although an Auditing provider is configured per security realm, each serverwrites auditing
data to its own log file in the server directory. By default, all auditing information recorded by the
WebLogic Auditing provider is saved in the following file:
WL_HOME\yourdomain\yourserver\DefaultAuditRecorder.log.
By writing a custom Auditing provider, however, you can send the records containing audit
information to any one of various output repositories, such as an LDAP server, database, or a
simple file.

You have been asked to deploy an application.
As a default behavior of WebLogic Server, which two statements are true?
59
A. The application cannot be deployed until the two managed servers are available.
B. The application can be deployed while the two managed servers are in Shutdown status.
C. The application will be deployed to the eight managed servers that are running. The two
managed servers that are in the Shutdown state will eventually receive the deployment when they
are started again.
D. The application deployment will fail and the application will not be deployed to any managed
server in the cluster.
E. The application deployment will fail and the eight managed servers that are running will
transition to Admin state.
Answer: B,C
Explanation: When you deploy an application to a cluster target, WebLogic Server ensures that
the deployment successfully deploys on all available members of the cluster(B, not A). If even a
single, available WebLogic Server instance in the cluster cannot deploy the application, the entire
deployment fails and no servers in the cluster start the application. This helps to maintain
homogeneous deployments to the cluster, because deployment operations succeed or fail as a
logical unit.

QUESTION NO: 77
An application fails. The exception indicates that the JDBC data source, jdbc-hr.HRDS, cannot be
found. Identify two possible steps that you can perform to verify the data sources availability.
A. Launch the JDBCDiagnostics utility.
B. Verify the Targets attribute of the application.
C. Verify the Dependencies attribute of the data source.
D. Verify the target servers JNDI tree in the console.
E. Verify the Target attribute of the data source.
Answer: D,E
Explanation: D: In WebLogic Server, you configure database connectivity by adding data sources
to your WebLogic domain. WebLogic JDBC data sources provide database access and database
connection management. Each data source contains a pool of database connections that are
created when the data source is created and at server startup. Applications reserve a database
connection from the data source by looking up the data source on the JNDI tree or in the local
application context and then calling getConnection().
E: Each data source that you configure contains a pool of database connections that are created
when the data source instance is createdwhen it is deployed or targeted, or at server startup.
Applications lookup a data source on the JNDI tree or in the local application context
60
(java:comp/env), depending on how you configure and deploy the object, and then request a
database connection. When finished with the connection, the application calls connection.close(),
which returns the connection to the connection pool in the data source.

D. pack command
E. Node Manager
F. WLST
G. Configuration Wizard
Answer: B,D,F
Explanation: B: Go to Start Menu->All programs->weblogic10gR3->Tools->Domain Template
Builder
D: The pack command creates a template archive (.jar) file that contains a snapshot of either an
entire domain or a subset of a domain. You can use a template that contains a subset of a domain
to create a Managed Server domain directory hierarchy on a remote machine.F: WLST enables
you to create a new domain or update an existing domain without connecting to a running
WebLogic Server (that is, using WLST offline)supporting the same functionality as the Config-
uration Wizard.

You wish to provide failover for HTTP sessions within a cluster. However, you are limited by the
following constraints:
1. While under load, your servers have very little free memory.
2. you do not have appropriate access rights to modify your companys database.
Which is the best option, given these restrictions?
A. in-memory replication
B. automatic migration
C. file persistence
D. JDBC persistence
E. replication groups
Answer: C
Explanation: File persistence use less memory than in-memory replication, and does not need
access rights to the company's database.
Note:
You use session persistence to permanently store data from an HTTP session object to enable
failover and load balancing across a cluster of WebLogic Servers. When your applications stores
data in an HTTP session object, the data must be serializable.
There are five different implementations of session persistence:
* Memory (single-server, non-replicated)
* File system persistence
* JDBC persistence
* Cookie-based session persistence
* In-memory replication (across a cluster)

Indentify three tools that you can use to create a deployment plan.
A. administration console
B. weblogic.PlanGenerator
C. the /autodeploy folder that is locked in the domain directory
D. developer tools such as JDeveloper or Eclipse
E. the /plan subfolder that resides outside the application archive
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation: A: To create a deployment plan for a deployed application that does not already
have a deployment plan, make a configuration change to the deployed application. When you
make apersisted configuration change to a deployed application that does not have an existing
deployment plan, the Administration Console automatically creates a deployment plan for you and
prompts you for the location in which to save it.
B: The weblogic.PlanGenerator is a Java-based deployment configuration tool. It is primarily
intended for developers who want to export portions of a WebLogic Server deployment configura-
tion into an XML deployment plan. weblogic.PlanGenerator also enables you to generate a basic
WebLogic Server configuration for applications that have only J2EE deployment descriptors.
D: Deployment plans can be created or edited through the deployment plan editor functionality
available through the Web-based Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control
Console interface and the J2EE and Studio Editions of the Oracle JDeveloper 10g integrated
development environment.

While creating a new domain in the Configuration Wizard, there are two types of machines that
may be configured. Identify them.
A. Machine and Windows machine
B. administrator machine and managed machine
C. machine and Unix machine
D. stand-alone machine and cluster machine
64
E. RDBMS machine and LDAP machine
Answer: B
Explanation: Administrator machine:
The Choose the Administration Server window prompts you to designate a server as the
Administration Server. This window is displayed automatically only if the selected template
includes multiple servers that are not assigned to clusters.
To choose the Administration Server:The Server Details area displays detailed information about
the selected server. By default, the currently assigned Administration Server is selected.
The Configure the Administration Server and Configure Managed Server(s) windows are updated
to reflect your changes.
Managed machine:
The minimum requirement for your domain is a single Administration Server on a single machine.
In addition, however, you have the option of configuring other resources to be managed by the
Administration Server and distributing them across multiple machines. Specifically, you can:
* Add, change, or delete Managed Servers
* Add, change, or delete clusters
* Group Managed Servers into clusters, or change current groupings
* Assign servers to machines, or change current assignments
Note: The Managed Servers, Clusters, and Machines Options window prompts you to specify
whether you want to distribute your WebLogic configuration across Managed Servers, clusters,
and physical machines
Note 2:
The Configure Managed Servers window prompts you to provide the configuration information
for one or more Managed Servers. Production environments typically deploy one or more
Managed Servers, in addition to the Administration Server, to host enterprise applications.

Which two statements are true about Log Filters?
A. Log Filters are created at the domain level.
69
B. You do not have to lock the configuration to create Log Filters.
C. You can apply a Log Filter to the server log, but not to standard out.
D. The administration console assists in the creation of Log Filter expressions
Answer: A,D
Explanation: A (not B): For any given WebLogic Server instance, you can override the default
filter and create a log filter that causes a different set of messages to be written to the domain log
file.
Note:
To create and configure a log filter:
The new log filter appears in the Log Filters table.
A filter expression defines simple filtering rules to limit the volume of log messages written to a
particular log destination.
See D) below.
The filter and filter expression are listed in the Log Filters table.
D: Log Filter Configuration
Use this page to define a custom log filter to restrict the set of messages that one or more servers
send to a message destination, such as the domain log, standard out, server log file, or memory
buffer of recent log events.
You can click Edit to type or paste in an expression directly, using WLDF Query Language syntax
(see Related Topics, below); or you can click Add Expression to construct an expression by
choosing items from lists.
Once you create a filter, you cannot change its name. Instead, you must create a new filter under
a different name.

Which four tasks can be accomplished in the administration console only after the configuration is
71
locked?
A. deploying an application
B. changing console preferences
C. creating a new JMS Server
D. monitoring the health of a server
E. enabling the Administrator Port
F. creating a new Managed Server
G. adding a new user to the default authentication provider
Answer: A,C,E,F
Explanation: A: Steps to Deploy Application using Administration Console
E:To enable the administration port for your domain:
Note: If you want to use the Administration Console to make configuration changes, you must first
click the Lock & Edit button in the Change Center. When you click Lock & Edit, you obtain a lock
on the editable hierarchy of Configuration MBeans for all servers in the domain (the edit tree).
As you make configuration changes using the Administration Console, you click Save (or in some
cases Finish) on the appropriate pages. This does not cause the changes to take effect
immediately; instead, when you click Save, you are saving the change to the edit tree and to the
DOMAIN_NAME/pending/config.xml file and related configuration files. The changes takeeffect
when you click Activate Changes in the Change Center. At that point, the configuration changes
are distributed to each of the servers in the domain. If the changes are acceptable to each of the
servers, then they take effect. (Note, however, that some changes require a server to be
restarted.) If any server cannot accept a change, then all of the changes are rolled back from all of
the servers in the domain. The changes are left in a pending state; you can then either edit the
pending changes to resolve the problem or revert the pending changes.

A web application called sales was deployed and is currently Active. It is targeted to managed1
and managed2. The developers have given you an upload WAR file and you have replaced the
original WAR file with it. From the directory where the WAR file resides, you run the following
weblogic.Deployer command:
java weblogic.Deployer adminurl t3://192.168.1.101:7001-username weblogic password
welcom1 name sales redeploy
72
Which statement best describes what happens?
A. The command fails because no target was specified.
B. The application is deployed to the Administration Server because no target was specified.
C. The application is deployed to whichever server is running at 192.168.1.101:7001.
D. The application is deployed to managed1 and managed2 because that is where it is currently
targeted.
Answer: D
Explanation: -targetstarget_list (for the redeploy command) is not specified here.
It is used to specify the targets on which to distribute, deploy, or redeploy the application or
module.
If you do not specify a target list with the -deploy command, the target defaults to:
* the Administration Server instance for new deployments (not the case here)
* the application's current targets for deployed applications (the case in this scenario)
Note:
Syntax:

QUESTION NO: 97
Indentify two requirements for in-memory session replication.
A. Clusters must contain an even number of members.
B. Web applications must be configured to use replication.
C. Web applications must be deployed as an archive file.
D. Cluster members must be started by using the Node Manager.
E. Web applications must be accessed via a proxy that supports session cookies
Answer: B,E
Explanation: B:When in-memory replication is enabled for a web application, WebLogic Server
copies session state from one server in the cluster (primary) to one other server in the same
cluster (secondary). The replica on the secondary server is kept up-to-date so that it may be used
if the primary server fails.
75
E: To utilize in-memory replication for HTTP session states, you must access the WebLogic
Server cluster using either a collection of Web servers with identically configured WebLogic proxy
plug-ins, or load balancing hardware.
If you choose to use load balancing hardware instead of a proxy plug-in, it must support a
compatible passive or active cookie persistence mechanism, and SSL persistence.
Note 1:In its default configuration, WebLogic Server uses client-side cookies to keep track of the
primary and secondary server that host the client's servlet session state. If client browsers have
disabled cookie usage, WebLogic Server can also keep track of primary and secondary servers
using URL rewriting. With URL rewriting, both locations of the client session state are embedded
into the URLs passed between the client and proxy server. To support this feature, you must
ensure that URL rewriting is enabled on the WebLogic Server cluster.
Note 2: To support automatic failover for servlet and JSP HTTP session states, WebLogic Server
replicates the session state in memory. WebLogic Server creates a primary session state on the
server to which the client first connects, and a secondary replica on another WebLogic Server in-
stance in the cluster. The replica is kept up-to-date so that it may be used if the server that hosts
the servlet fails. The process of copying a session state from one server instance to another is
called in-memory replication.

Your domain includes a cluster of five servers, but only three are currently running. A colleague
then uses the administration console to install and deploy a new EJB application to the cluster.
By default, which outcome would you expect?
A. The application deploys successfully on the three servers that are running.
B. The deployment fails because the entire cluster is not running.
C. The deployment succeeds, but the application is not accessible.
D. The user is prompted to start the two unavailable servers before continuing.
E. The two unavailable servers are automatically removed from the cluster.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Note #1:If your EJBs will run on a WebLogic Server cluster, Oracle recommends that you deploy
them homogeneouslyto each Managed Server in the cluster. Alternatively, you can deploy an
EJB to only to a single server in the cluster (that is, pin a module to a server). This type of
deployment is less common, and should be used only in special circumstances where pinned
services are required.
Note #2:When you deploy an EJB, you specify the servers and clusters to which the EJB
deployment is targeted. After you have deployed an EJB, you can update the servers and clusters
to which it is targeted.
To set target servers and clusters for a deployed EJB:
The right pane lists the EJBs and other modules that you have deployed, or tried to deploy.
Servers and clusters in the domain are displayed.
By default, the Administration Console deploys an EJB to all server instances in the cluster (the "
All servers in the cluster" option). To deploy the EJB to selected servers in a cluster, select "
Part of the cluster", and then select the individual server instances to which you want to deploy
the EJB.
QUESTION NO: 100
Consider an IT infrastructure comprising several web and EJB applications. Each application is
77
expected to handle significantly different workloads, and therefore has different resource and
scalability requirements. Which is the best solution for this scenario?
A. Configure a dedicated server for each application.
B. Configure a separate cluster for each application.
C. Configure a separate domain for each application.
D. Configure a separate proxy for each application.
Answer: B
Explanation: A WebLogic domain can be composed of a number of WebLogic instances, and
several of these servers may be grouped into clusters. For instance, you could set up a
cluster of WebLogic servers, all of which host your web application and related
resources. This cluster of servers could be fronted by a load balancer that distributes
requests evenly across all the members of the cluster. The load balancer could itself be
another WebLogic instance. All server instances must belong to the same WebLogic
domain. Thus, a WebLogic cluster is a group of servers working together with services,
such as clustered JNDI, to provide support for failover and load balancing. A domain
may in turn have a number of WebLogic instances, several groups of which can be
placed into different clusters.
QUESTION NO: 101
Which two statements are true about cluster configuration?
A. A server must be running before it can be added to a cluster.
B. You cannot define cluster membership through the Configuration Wizard.
C. The console allows you to add new and existing servers to a cluster.
D. The console allows you to add an administration server to a cluster.
E. You cannot remove a server that is running from a cluster.
Answer: C,E
Explanation: C: To assign server instances to a cluster:
Note: You cannot change the cluster of the Administation Server using the Administration
Console. You cannot change the cluster or machine of a running server.
The new server appears in the list of servers and is added as a member of the current cluster.

D. All WLST commands include parentheses.
E. WLST is based on the Perl scripting language.
F. You can connect to any server through WLST.
G. The Administration Server needs to be running to use WLST.
Answer: A,B,C,D
Explanation: A:WLST enables you to create a new domain or update an existing domain without
connecting to a running WebLogic Server (that is, using WLST offline)supporting the same
functionality as the Configuration Wizard.
B: WLST command names and arguments are case sensitive.
C: The WLST shutdown command Gracefully shuts down a running server instance or a cluster.
The shutdown command waits for all the in-process work to be completed before shutting down
the server or cluster.
You shut down a server to which WLST is connected by entering the shutdown command without
any arguments.

Explanation: B: WebLogic Server supports SSL on a dedicated listen port which defaults to 7002.
80
To establish an SSL connection, a Web browser connects to WebLogic Server by supplying the
SSL listen port and the HTTPs schema in the connection URL, for example,
https://myserver:7002.
C: Note: Enabling SSL under WLS 10.3
Steps to configure WLS for SSL:
1) Open the WLS console
2) Select from the Domain Structure -> (your domain) -> Environment -> Servers
3) Select the server from the Summary of Servers page you wish to configure for SSL.
4) Under the Settings for (server name) page, select the Configuration tab, then General tab (the
defaults).
5) If WLS is running in production mode, select the Lock & Edit button.
6) Select the SSL Listen Port Enabled checkbox, and enter your preferred port in the SSL Listen
Port.
7) Press the Save button.
8) If WLS is running in production mode, select the Release Configuration button.

QUESTION NO: 104
Consider a cluster of four servers: ServerA, ServerB, ServerC, and ServerD.
The cluster hosts a web application and is accessed using a proxy pug-in. This web application is
configured to use in-memory session replication.
A user is directed to ServerA. An HTTP session is established on ServerA and is also replicated to
ServerC. If ServerA subsequently fails, which server will this user be redirected to?
A. none; the user will receive an error message
81
B. ServerB
C. ServerC
D. ServerD
E. Any other available server
Answer: C
Explanation: To support automatic failover for servlet and JSP HTTP session states, WebLogic
Server replicates the session state in memory. WebLogic Server creates a primary session state
on the server to which the client first connects, and a secondary replica on another WebLogic
Server instance in the cluster. The replica is kept up-to-date so that it may be used if the server
that hosts the servlet fails. The process of copying a session state from one server instance to
another is called in-memory replication.

Which four tasks are required to use database persistence for JMS messages?
A. Assign a data source to a JDBC store.
B. Configure a data sources delivery mode.
C. Assign a JDBC store to a JMS server.
D. Create a JDBC data source.
E. Disable a servers file store.
F. Create a JDBC store.
82
Answer: A,C,D,F
Explanation: The main steps for creating a JDBC store are as follows:
* For JMS servers, select the JDBC store (C) on the General Configuration page.
* For Store-and-Forward agents, select the JDBC store on the General Configuration page.
Note: The WebLogic Persistent Store provides a built-in, high-performance storage solution for all
subsystems and services that require persistence. For example, it can store persistent JMS
messages or temporarily store messages sent using the Store-and-Forward feature. Each
WebLogic Server instance in a domain has a default persistent store that requires no configuration
and which can be simultaneously used by subsystems that prefer to use the system's default
storage. However, you can also configure a dedicated file-based store or JDBC database-
accessible store to suit your JMS implementation.

B. All instances of WebLogic Server must be defined within a domain.
C. The domain configuration is stored in Oracle database by default.
D. Any instance of WebLogic Server may update the domain configuration
E. The security realm for a domain is optional.
F. A domain maybe created by using the Configuration Wizard.
Answer: A,B,F
Explanation: A: All servers in a domain run either in development mode or production mode.
F: If you want to create a new domain, you can use the Configuration Wizard (or WLST or Unpack
command).
QUESTION NO: 108
You are responsible for configuration a WebLogic domain to support an order processing
application. This application will communicate with multiple JDBC data sources to fulfill each
83
customer order. To maintain data integrity across these databases, work will be performed within a
global transaction.
However, you have learned that one of the data sources in the transaction does not have an XA
driver. Which option should you select on this non-XA data source to ensure that orders are still
processed as global transactions?
A. Ignore Heuristics
B. Planned to Thread
C. Password Encrypted
D. Logging Last Resource
E. Test Connections on Reserve
Answer: D
Explanation: The Logging Last Resource option:
Enables a non-XA JDBC connection to participate in distributed transactions using the Logging
Last Resource (LLR) transaction optimization. Recommended in place of Emulate Two-Phase
Commit.
With this option, the transaction branch in which the connection is used is processed as the last
resource in the transaction and is processed as a one-phase commit operation. The result of the
operation is written in a log file on the resource itself, and the result determines the success or
failure of the prepare phase of the transaction. This option offers some performance benefits with
greater data safety than Emulate Two-Phase Commit.
Note: The transaction protocol for a JDBC data source determines how connections from the data
source are handled during transaction processing. Transactions within a JDBC data source are
either global (XA) and non-global (local).

QUESTION NO: 109
You are installing Oracle WebLogic Server 11g for some new developers in the department. They
have asked for a very generic installation for development and want you to ensure that the
MedRec sample domain is included. What should you do to accomplish this?
A. Select the typical installation because the MedRec sample domain is included in it.
B. You wont be able to do this, because all the samples were removed from the installer after
10g.
C. Select the custom installation and select Server Examples.
84
D. After installation, create a sample domain named MedRec by using the Configuration Wizard.
Answer: C
Explanation: MedRec-Spring is not installed by default when you install WebLogic Server. You
must choose Custom installation, then select Server Examples from the Choose Products and
Component page.
Note: MedRec is an end-to-end sample Java EE application shipped with WebLogic Server that
simulates an independent, centralized medical record management system. The MedRec ap-
plication provides a framework for patients, doctors, and administrators to manage patient data
using a variety of different clients.
MedRec demonstrates WebLogic Server and Java EE features, and highlights Oracle-recommen-
ded best practices. MedRec is included in the WebLogic Server distribution, and can be accessed
from the Start menu on Windows machines. For Linux and other platforms, you can start MedRec
from the WL_HOME\samples\domains\medrec directory, where WL_HOME is the top-level
installation directory for WebLogic Server. A Spring version of the application is accessible from
the WL_HOME\samples\domains\medrec-spring directory.

QUESTION NO: 110
Consider the following excerpt from mod_wl_ohs.conf:
<IfModule weblogic_module>
WebLogicCluster 192.168.13.1:7001, 192.168.13.2:7001,192.168.13.2:7001
</IfModule>
<Location /welcome>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
</Location>
Assuming that this is a valid is a valid configuration, which two conclusions can you make?
85
A. A web application name welcome is configured to use session replication.
B. A web application that uses the paths welcome is targeted to the cluster.
C. The proxy server will ignore any requests that contain the name welcome.
D. The proxy server is listening on the host name welcome.
E. A cluster exists that consists of at least two managed servers.
F. All cluster members are running on the same machine.
Answer: B,E
Explanation: B: To proxy requests by path, use the Location block and the SetHandler statement.
When to use <Location>
Use <Location> to apply directives to content that lives outside the filesystem. For content that
lives in the filesystem, use <Directory> and <Files>. An exception is <Location />, which is an easy
way to apply a configuration to the entire server.
For all origin (non-proxy) requests, the URL to be matched is a URL-path of the form /path/. No
scheme, hostname, port, or query string may be included. For proxy requests, the URL to be
matched is of the form scheme://servername/path, and you must include the prefix.
E: Add an IfModule block that defines one of the following:
For a non-clustered WebLogic Server instance:
The WebLogicHost and WebLogicPort parameters.
For a cluster of WebLogic Servers instances:
The WebLogicCluster parameter.
If you are proxying requests by MIME type to a cluster of WebLogic Servers, use the
WebLogicCluster parameter.
For example:
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c> WebLogicCluster w1s1.com:
7001,w1s2.com:7001,w1s3.com:7001</IfModule>
Note #1: The <IfModule test>...</IfModule> section is used to mark directives that are conditional
on the presence of a specific module. The directives within an <IfModule> section are only
processed if the test is true. If test is false, everything between the start and end markers is
ignored.
The test in the <IfModule> section directive can be one of two forms:
module name
86
!module name
Note #2:
<Location> Directive
Description:Applies the enclosed directives only to matching URLs
Syntax:<Location URL-path|URL> ... </Location> Context:server
config, virtual host
Status:Core
Module:core
The <Location> directive limits the scope of the enclosed directives by URL. It is similar to the
<Directory> directive, and starts a subsection which is terminated with a </Location> directive.
<Location> sections are processed in the order they appear in the configuration file, after the
<Directory> sections and .htaccess files are read, and after the <Files> sections.
<Location> sections operate completely outside the filesystem. This has several consequences.
Most importantly, <Location> directives should not be used to control access to filesystem
locations. Since several different URLs may map to the same filesystem location, such access
controls may by circumvented.

QUESTION NO: 111
Which two statements are true about data sources that have been created?
A. Data sources must be targeted to a server.
B. Data sources must be bound in the JDNI tree of a server.
C. Data sources are an Oracle WebLogic Server-specific feature.
D. Data sources are tied directly to a connection pool.
E. Data sources are required for a domain.
Answer: B,D
Explanation: In WebLogic Server, you configure database connectivity by adding data sources to
your WebLogic domain. WebLogic JDBC data sources provide database access and database
connection management. Each data source contains a pool of database connections that are
created when the data source iscreated and at server startup. Applications reserve a database
connection from the data source by looking up the data source on the JNDI tree or in the local
87
application context and then calling getConnection(). When finished with the connection, the
application should call connection.close() as early as possible, which returns the database
connection to the pool for other applications to use.
