Question 1
Happy Joe Banking Corporation is building a Banking application to provide online access to their account holders. They have chosen 2 SUN 450s for their web server cluster and 1 SUN E10000 for their application server. The business requirements indicate that to become a customer, a person must have at least a primary checking account with the bank. Further since the customer will be using the Internet to view confidential information, security is considered paramount. What do you understand about the requirements of the system?
a) The need for Security is a classic example of a functional service level requirement and the checking account rule, an example of non-functional QoS requirement. b) The discussion about Security and the mandatory checking account both illustrate functional service level requirements.
c) Neither Security nor the mandatory Checking Account is examples of any kind of requirements, theoretically speaking. d) Security is an Architectural non-functional requirement and the Mandatory Checking Account a functional design requirement.
e) They are both examples of Business Use Cases.
Question 2
Nopester Inc., a CD manufacturer uses Metallic Corporation for making jewel cases. When the inventory of jewel cases falls under the reorder level, Nopester communicates with Metallic via faxes. Nopester now wants to build a solution for its supply chain management. Metallic uses a legacy system that supports CORBA interfaces for other companies to interface to them with. Metallic’s servers are protected by firewalls and will only let HTTP or HTTPS requests through. What is Nopester’s best option here?
a) Since Metallic will not let CORBA requests through, Nopester should continue sending faxes. b) Nopester should take its business away to Metallic’s competitors.
c) Nopester should use the popular SOAP protocol since SOAP requests communicate over HTTP. d) Nopester should use a concept called HTTP tunneling to communicate with Metallic.
Question 3
Which of the following are not true about N-Tier Systems?
N-Tier systems are distributed over many systems and hence always present a maintenance problem.
N-Tier systems are generally component based and are therefore quite easy to maintain.
Since N-Tier systems do not use database stored procedures or triggers for business logic processing, they are generally very slow.
Since N-Tier systems are container based, many N-Tier systems can be easily scaled (both vertically and horizontally).
N-Tier systems suffer only from one drawback over client/server systems – N-Tier systems do not take advantage of resource sharing techniques like connection pooling.
N-Tier systems can use various techniques for Identification, Authentication and Authorization and are therefore considered quite secure.
a) 1 & 2
b) 2,5, & 6
c) 1, 2, & 5

Question 14
Fire Hall is building a corporate Intranet and wants its employees to access payroll information via the Internet. They are implementing the solution via applets for richer GUI capabilities. The view 401K applet requires a Java 1.4 Plug in as well as read permission to read cached data from a temporary directory on the host where it’s being executed. Is the applet technology viable for this application?
a) The applet technology is not viable because the sandbox model prevents them from reading or writing to the host where they are executed. b) The applet technology is a viable solution because the security policy of the Java 2 Platform is totally flexible.
