Multiple choice technology enterprise content management

var obj = objectManager.createTextObject("Hello", "MyHello") obj.name = "Hello" obj.text = "MyHello" What happens when the following code is executed.

  1. A Text Object by Name:- MyHello and text value:- MyHello gets created in the database.

  2. A Text Object by Name:- MyHello and text value:- Hello gets created in the database.

  3. A Text Object by Name:- Hello and text value:- MyHello gets created in the database.

  4. Nothing is created, as one 'key/important statement' is missing in the code.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In this specific object manager API, the first parameter of createTextObject represents the text content ("Hello") and the second represents the name ("MyHello"). The subsequent assignments swap these values, setting the name to "Hello" and text to "MyHello".

var txtObj1 = new WebObject(WebObject.PAGE); txtObj1.name = "Text1" txtObj1.url = "Text1" var txtObj2 = new WebObject(); txtObj2.name = "Text1" txtObj2.url = "Text1" write(txtObj1.state == WebObject.ACTIVE); write(",") write(txtObj2.state == WebObject.ACTIVE); What are the values

  1. true, true

  2. true. false

  3. false, true

  4. true, undefined
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This question relies on a proprietary API (likely Livelink/OpenText WCM). In this API, instantiating a WebObject with a type parameter activates it, whereas the default constructor leaves it inactive, resulting in true, false.

var expires = new Date(); expires.setTime(expires.getTime() + (1000 * 3600 * 24 * 30)); setCookie("myCookie", expires.toString(), expires.toUTCString()); Which statements are valid for the above code: Choose all that are applicable.

  1. A cookie by Name cookie-myCookie is created.

  2. The cookie will expire exactly 15 days from the time it is created.

  3. The cookie will expire exactly 30 days from the time it is created.

  4. A cookie by Name myCookie is created.

  5. Since the setTime function will fail, the cookie will never expire.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C,D Correct answer
Explanation

The code calculates milliseconds for 30 days (1000 * 3600 * 24 * 30) and adds it to the current time, setting the cookie to expire in 30 days. The setCookie call creates a cookie named "myCookie".

var expires = new Date(); what will expires.toLocaleDateString() return?

  1. String representation of current date, in US format.

  2. String representation of current date, in UK format.

  3. String representation of the current date, formatted according to the runtime's (browser/system) locale settings.

  4. Will return an empty string.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The toLocaleDateString() method returns a string representation of the date formatted according to the locale settings of the runtime environment (browser or operating system). This means the format varies based on the user's regional settings (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY for US, DD/MM/YYYY for UK, etc.), not a fixed US or UK format.

var expires = new Date(2009,11,10); What value will expires.getMonth() expires.getDate() expires.getHours() return.

  1. 11, 10, 12

  2. 10, 11, 12

  3. 11, 10, 0

  4. compile time error. Wrong Date signature
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In JavaScript, months are 0-indexed (0 is January, 11 is December). Thus, new Date(2009, 11, 10) represents December 10, 2009. getMonth() returns 11, getDate() returns 10, and since no time is specified, getHours() defaults to 0.

Multiple choice technology web technology

Every browser identifies itself to Web servers with a unique user agent string. What was the user agent string for Netscape Navigator 1.0, one of the earliest Web browsers?

  1. NNav

  2. Mosaic

  3. Mozilla

  4. MSIE
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Netscape Navigator 1.0 used 'Mozilla' as its user agent string, which was a portmanteau of 'Mosaic Killer' (Mosaic + Godzilla). This naming convention continues in browsers today, which often include 'Mozilla' in their user agent strings for compatibility.

Under what circumstances will the Firefox 3.x Web browser initiate an encrypted SSL 2.0 connection with a Web server?

  1. When the Web server specifically requests it via an HTTP header

  2. For all URLs beginning with an https: scheme identifier

  3. Only when the user has enabled support in the advanced configuration options

  4. When the user has identified the Web server as a trusted host
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Firefox 3.x disabled SSL 2.0 by default due to security vulnerabilities; it only supports SSL 2.0 when users explicitly enable it in about:config advanced settings. Modern browsers use SSL 3.0 and TLS instead.

Multiple choice technology web technology

Tim Berners-Lee describes a proposed extension of the current Web, which he terms the "semantic Web." Simply put, what is the chief goal of the semantic Web effort?

  1. To make it possible to view Web content on a wider variety of devices and software

  2. To make it possible for computers to parse and analyze the meaning and context of Web data

  3. To reduce the amount of network traffic needed to conduct simple Web transactions

  4. To enable a bi-directional, read/write Web
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The semantic Web aims to make web data machine-readable by adding metadata and structure, enabling computers to understand meaning and context rather than just display content for humans. This facilitates intelligent data processing and integration.

What is the name of the distributed hypertext document search and retrieval protocol that predates -- but was eventually supplanted by -- the World Wide Web?

  1. Gopher

  2. FTP

  3. IRC

  4. NNTP
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Gopher was an early application-layer protocol designed for distributing, searching, and retrieving documents over the Internet. It organized content in hierarchical menus, making it easier to navigate than FTP, but was eventually replaced by the more flexible and multimedia-capable World Wide Web.

Multiple choice technology operating systems

Which of the following browsers is not, and has never been, an Internet Explorer competitor?

  1. Spyglass Mosaic

  2. Netscape Navigator

  3. Google Chrome

  4. Mozilla Firefox
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Spyglass Mosaic was the original browser from which Microsoft licensed the source code to build Internet Explorer 1. Since it served as the direct foundation for IE, it was never a competitor. Netscape, Chrome, and Firefox were all direct competitors.

Multiple choice technology usability

If a site is accessible it is usable

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Accessibility and usability are different concepts. A site can be technically accessible (screen readers can parse it) but unusable (poor navigation, confusing workflow). Usability requires good UX design beyond just accessibility compliance.
