IBM WebSphere Portal 8.0 Solution Development Sample Questions:

1. Ted is developing a module that will provide content to the Markup sub-contribution type. This Markup sub-contribution will contain some inline JavaScript. What will happen if Ted makes this module deferred rather than non-deferred?

A) The server-side combiner framework will not allow JavaScript inside of the Markup contribution type.
B) The script code inside the markup will be evaluated and run without error when the deferred module is loaded.
C) The script code inside the markup will be evaluated and run. However, it will throw an exception since its being loaded from a different domain.
D) The script code inside the markup will not be evaluated and run when the deferred module is loaded.

2. A software delivery executive, by the name of Fry, is developing a custom theme called Popplers. He has deployed the theme with six custom layouts (Lla, Zdb, Bdr, Amy, Pff and Hms) at dav:fstype1/themes/Popplers/layout-templates.
Over the past few days, he has been trying to scope three of these layouts (Lla, Zdb and Bdr) however, none of them are visible in the WebSphere Portal 8.0 Layout tab.
He has performed the following steps:

Refreshed browser's cache 4) Reloaded the page What is the problem with Popplers based on the information provided?

A) Step 1 is incorrect. Changing the URL value to ibmCfg.themeConfig.themeRootURI+"/system/layouts.json" will resolve the issue.
B) One cannot partially scope custom layouts in a theme. Just like the default Portal 8.0 theme, you must scope all defined custom layouts.
C) Step 2 is incorrect because layouts must be listed alphabetically - listing them as Bdr, Lla and then Zdb will correct the issue.
D) The last two steps are in the wrong order - perform step 4 first and then step 3 to solve the problem.

3. Carl is trying to create a theme based on a modularized IBM WebSphere Portal theme. He is ready for deployment, but is unsure of the structure he needs to use to accomplish this. What would be the proper deployment structure for this theme?

A) Create a WAR file that contains an ZIP file containing an EAR file that includes both static and dynamic content.
B) Create an ZIP file that contains one WAR file containing the dynamic content of the theme and one JAR file containing a .content filereferencing the static content.
C) Create a folder for the theme in the file store, and create a WAR file containing an exact copy of this theme. All associations between static anddynamic content will be made once both are associated by sharing similar context roots.
D) Create a custom version of the dynamic content from the modularized theme as a new EAR file and a custom version of the static content bycreating a folder in the file store for it.

4. The following code sample is an excerpt from an implementation of a custom ExplicitLoginFilter.

Evan needs to implement custom logic to check whether the user needs to accept an updated user agreement. Which one of the following lines of code allows the user to be sent the friendly IBM WebSphere Portal URL 'acceptAgreement,' if the checkUser method returns true?

A) resp.sendRedirect("/wps/myportal/acceptAgreement");
B) RequestDispatcher rd = req.getRequestDispatcher("/wps/myportal/acceptAgreement"); rd.forward(req, resp);
C) RequestDispatcher rd = req.getRequestDispatcher("/wps/myportal/acceptAgreement"); rd.include(req, resp);
D) portalLoginContext.setRedirectURL("/wps/myportal/acceptAgreement");

5. Corrie needs to create several iWidgets that will interact with each other. She is evaluating the mechanisms that she can use to share state information between the iWidgets. Which one of the following options is the best way to accomplish this?

A) Implement public render parameters.
B) Use the JSR 286 defined event and payload mechanism.
C) Declare the state sharable in the ItemSet definition and register listeners in the individual iWidgets to be informed when shared state changes.
D) Store state information in the user's session.
