SCEA - Carving a well qualified J2EE Architect

Sun Microsystems offers many certifications starting from programmer level to architect level. SCEA (Sun Certified Enterprise Architect) certification is designed for enterprise architects responsible for building high scale enterprise applications or who wish to be prospective architects.

The certification exam tests candidate’s architectural knowledge in and out. A Software Architect is the technical boss of software systems and he should act like a software doctor to resolve the issues. A basic difference between a developer and an architect is the way they design the application. Developer may not think about the scalability, maintainability, performance, etc for long run. But architect always foresees the application’s future expectations about performance, scalability, etc.

What are the qualifications required to become a J2EE Architect?

I would say he/she should be a Sun Certified J2EE Architect. Because it comprises of all the necessary qualification required for a Technical Architect required for J2EE assignment. I love the way the SCEA Part 2 and Part 3 designed.

The following are the interesting topics that SCEA Exam covers:

SCEA Part 1

Concepts - Tests your modeling language skills (UML)

Common architectures - Tests the skills in evaluation of enterprise application tiers

Legacy connectivity - Tests the architectural solution knowledge to connect J2EE with any legacy systems

EJB - Tests the design and basic API knowledge in EJB

EJB Container model - Tests the knowledge in the container architecture

Protocols - Tests the knowledge in the area of choosing the right protocol for a business problem

Applicability of J2EE - Tests the design decision knowledge about J2EE technologies

Patterns - Tests the knowledge in design patterns

Messaging - Tests the knowledge in synchronous and asynchronous message architecture

Internationalization - Tests your Java knowledge to implement internationalization

Security - Tests various kinds of enterprise security including firewalls and DMZ

SCEA Part 2

A business problem will be given to you in the form of use case diagrams, business domain model, and statement format. The requirements will encompass both Functional and Non-Functional requirements. You are requested to come up with an architecture for the given business problem to meet both the functional and non-functional requirements.

It is a very challenging experience to get to know about J2EE Architecture best practices. Once you have completed your assignment, you need to upload your assignment into Sun and it will be manually evaluated by technical authors.

SCEA Part 3

This is another stimulating test to verify your architectural knowledge about design decisions. Architecture can be implemented in many ways with different design decisions. The questions will be on why you have chosen this way and why not the other way. You need to answer with brief explanation. If you have completed Part 1 and Part 2, Part 3 will be straightforward and very easy to *****.

The SCEA exam does not require any pre-certifications from Sun Microsystems. So, if you decide to take Sun J2EE Architect certification, you can very well start without any prerequisite.

How to start, where to start?

Go through the exam objectives from Sun website.

Estimate the time required to prepare SCEA Exam (EPractize Labs SCEA Preparation Time Calculator).

Plan for your certification process

When to take Part 1, when to take Part 2 and Part 3 is based on your preferences

Practize for your certification process

Use SCEA Part 1 Exam EPractize Labs and SCEA Part 2 & Part 3 Exam EPractize Labs to get the real feel of the exam.

Take the actual exam once you get confidence from sample mock exams.

SCEA Certification Benefits

The concept of owning a home designed by a well known architect is something most of would only dream of. Times are changing and so are the marketing plans of many property developers who are increasingly using well known architects to sell their homes

It is true that international property investors have a huge choice of luxury resorts from around the world to choose from. With so much competition attracting the most desirable customers is becoming increasingly difficult. One way in which some resort developers have decided to attract potential buyers is by using high-profile architects on their projects.

Shigery Ban, who designed the Pompidou Centre in Metz, Zaha Hadid, Piero Lissoni, Chad Oppenheim and Japan’s Kengo Kuma are all well-known architects and designers and they are all being employed to design luxury hotels and resorts. What’s even more astounding is that this group of celebrity architects is currently working on one resort - Dellis Cay. This private island is part of the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean.

Dellis Cay is being developed by Turkish tourism magnate Dr. Cem Kinay. Piero Lissini is designing the main hotel and a set of villas in his typically modern, bold and simple style. In a recent interview in The Independent, Dr. Kinay notes that “The architects are our biggest selling point.” One bedroom apartments on Dellis Cay start at £835,000.

Another new development that is making use of well-known architects is Portugal’s Bom Sucesso, north of Lisbon on the Silver Coast. There are more than 20 popular European architects that are working on different designs and buildings for Bom Sucesso, including Alcino Soutinho, Goncalo Byrne, Alvaro Siza Vieira and even England’s award-winning David Chipperfield. The architects adhered to a set of rules that provide the formal unity of the project, but which simultaneously enabled them to follow their own original and specific objectives. Most important among these rules and vital for the originality of the resort, was that all rooftops should be covered in greenery and any walls should either be covered in greenery or else simply not exist at all.

Other resorts around the world are using architects to get a leg up on the competition. Melvin Villarroel is working on a community in Marbella, Spain called Lomas Club. Homes at this development are also being designed by Angel Taborda and Victoria Guana, and Villarroel is also working on several other new resorts in Spain.

Matteo Thun is designing a new set of fascinating apartments in the Austrian resort of Katschberg called Edel:Weiss. Sir Norman Foster is working on several projects; one is in Egypt called Serrenia and there is also Corniche Bay resort in Mauritius. These villas will only cost £1.7 million.
