On Linux, we can easily enable remote access to MySQL server, but on Windows, the approach is different.

I saw a lot of people asking this question. I don’t know exactly how much useful it is in job, but I can use my experience to let you get the idea.

Ever since I got SCJP and SCWCD, and put my resume on monster and yahoo hotjob, I got emails everyday about offering me a job and also get calls from time to time. Some of the consulting service directly tell me that they see I have SCWCD certificate.So you see the point, it brings you more opportunities.

Also it is a terrific way to learn Java Web development. It is true that some of the people who owe the certificate can not write even a very simple web app. So it can not prove that you are an expert of Web development, but it does show that you have a lot of knowledge in this area.

It is a great thing you should get if you have time.

The values within the element can be accessed like so:

String value =

Maybe it’s not a lot, but adding 100 or 200 dollars each month to your account is not a problem, if you play this well. I’m still doing research on this topic, so I will keep it updated from time to time.

From the report, the Session Management is very hard for me. But we may have different background, so you may be good at that part. I read HFSJ three times, and spent more time on Custom Tag Library, and less time on all other topics. It turns out that Session Management and Standard Actions are the most difficult sections in my test.

My suggestion is reading HFSJ 3 times at least, and there is no need to buy Enthuware’s JWeb or any other questions. It really misleads you to somewhere else. Just READ THE BOOK!

Here is how I made an MVC simple java web application, when you see this you will get the idea about how good I am with J2EE. So you will know if you are on the same level with me.

Hot file might be the best free online file storage.

Unlike rapidshare.com, you can upload files with size up to 400MB each time, and get the link for downloading.

You don’t need to pay for that. And you can also earn money if someone else downloads your files.

I made a video tutorial of how to override jspInit() method using screentoast.com. It looks really cool.
