This EJB exam requires the ability to program, deploy and call session and entity beans in a transactional context. EJB v3 is such different technology that it will be covered in other exams. This exam includes session and entity beans, transactions, security and exception notion.

Session Beans
Responsibilities 3 questions Identify the use, benefits, and characteristics of Stateless Session Beans for version 2 of the EJB specification. This includes best practices for using Stateful Session Beans. Identify correct and incorrect statements or examples about session beans, including conversational state, the SessionBean interface, and create methods. Identify the use of, and the behavior of, the ejbPassivate method in a session bean, including the responsibilities of both the container and the bean provider. Match correct descriptions about purpose and function with which session bean type they apply to: stateless, stateful, or both. Given a list of responsibilities related to session beans, identify those which are the responsibility of the session bean provider, and those which are the responsibility of the EJB container provider. Given a list of requirements, identify those which are the requirements for a session bean class, remote component interface, remote home interface, create methods, business methods, local component interface, local home interface.	0	53	2	Add a question Beta questions
Session Management 2 questions Identify the interface and method for each of the following: Retrieve the session bean's remote home interface Retrieve the session bean's local component interface Determine if the session bean's caller has a particular role.	0	17	1	Add a question Beta questions
Transaction Management and Passivation 2 questions Allow the instance to mark the current transaction as a rollback Retrieve the UserTransaction interface Prepare the instance for re-use following passivation Release resources prior to removal Identify the invoker of the bean instance's component interface Be notified that a new transaction has begun, be notified that the current transaction has completed	0	44	0	Add a question Beta questions
Transaction 3 questions Identify EJB v2 container requirements for transactional contexts. This includes the declaration of transaction attributes in the deployment descriptor as well as behavior of particular transaction attributes. Identify correct and incorrect statements or examples about EJB transactions, including bean-managed transaction demarcation, and container-managed transaction demarcation. Identify correct and incorrect statements about the Application Assembler's responsibilities, including the use of deployment descriptor elements related to transactions, and the identification of the methods of a particular bean type for which a transaction attribute must be specified. Given a list of transaction behaviors, match them with the appropriate transaction attribute. Given a list of responsibilities, identify whose which are the container's with respect to transactions, including the handling of getRollbackOnly, setRollbackOnly, getUserTransaction, SessionSynchronzation callbacks, for both container and bean-managed transactions.	1	101	1	Add a question Beta questions
Exceptions 3 questions Identify how the Container behaves during transactional situations based on declared transaction attributes, as well as other situations where the Container throws exceptions. Identify correct and incorrect statements or examples about exception handling in EJB. Given a list of responsibilities related to exceptions, identify those which are the bean provider's, and those which are the responsibility of the container provider. Be prepared to recognize responsibilities for which neither the bean or container provider are responsible. Identify correct and incorrect statements or examples about application exceptions and system exceptions in entity beans, session beans, and message-driven beans. Given a particular method condition, identify the following: whether an exception will be thrown, the type of exception thrown, the container's action, and the client's view. Identify correct and incorrect statements or examples about the client's view of exceptions received from an enterprise bean invocation.	0	54	0	Add a question Beta questions
