1. Select an application type and manage its responsiveness.
2. Configure event handling, commands, page-based navigation, and application settings.
3. Select and configure content controls, item controls, and layout panels.
4. Integrate Windows Forms controls into a WPF application.

The CX310-083 (Sun Certified Web Component Developer for the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition 1.5) test checks your ability to use the basic syntax and structure of the Servlet and JSP pages. This test requires you to have a good understanding of Java, Servlets, and JSP pages, and the ability to write code for well-defined design applications. For this purpose, along with studying books and taking various practice tests, you should also practice with Servlets and JSP code. This will let you learn a lot of things that are of great importance from the test point of view. The test asks all sorts of tricky questions that you might not consider in the real world. Practicing the following things with the subject will make you confident enough of scoring well in the test:

1. Use the HTTP and HttpServlet methods and use sequence of the Servlet life cycle.

Write code using the HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse interfaces.

3. Describe the purpose and semantics of the deployment descriptor and construct the correct structure of the deployment descriptor and a WAR file.
