<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I've been studying for the java
programmer certification exam and I've been looking for an interesting
opportunity to use JDOM. As a means of doing both simultaneously,
I've developed a web page that offers a mock exam for the programmer
certification. I developed all of the questions in a set of XML
documents--one for each topic. I used JDOM to load the questions into
memory and reorganize them into a set of three exams with twenty questions
each. Questions from each topic are shuffled after being loaded
into memory and then are distributed equally between the three
exams. Each of the three exams is shuffled again before being
written out to the exam1.xml, exam2.xml, and exam3.xml files. XSLT is
then used to transform each exam.xml file into two html files--exam.html and
answers.html. By using JDOM, it is very easy to organize new revisions of
the exams as new questions are added. </FONT></DIV>

programmer certification, the please take a look at my mock exam and
let me know what you think. If you know anyone that is studying for the
certification, then please pass on the URL.</FONT></DIV>
