Coldfusion Mx7 Certification Exam

Front 1

Which of the following are valid parts of a URL? (Select three)

A) Protocol
B) Port
C) CGI variables
D) Query string

Back 1

A,B and D. CGI variables are usually sent when a URL is requested, but they are not part of the URL itself.

Front 2

Which protocols may be used to access ColdFusion? (select two)

A) ftp
B) http
C) https
D) pop

Back 2

B and C. All ColdFusion requests are submitted via a Web Server and thus via http or https.

Front 3

Which of the following can ColdFusion access? (select three)

A) Databases
B) Client-side files
C) XML data
D) Microsoft Word

Back 3

A, C, and D. ColdFusion runs on the server, not on the client, and therefore it can access only server resources, not client side files. As for Microsoft Word, files are accessible by ColdFusion if they reside on the server, not on the client.

Front 4

The CFML language is made up of (select two)

A) Tags
B) XML
C) Functions
D) JavaScript

Back 4

A and C. XML has nothing to do with CFML, and JavaScript is a client side technology.

Front 5

Expressions are a combination of operands, operators, and functions. Which of the following are operands? (select two)

A) ColdFusion variables
B) MOD
C) 34
D) LCase()

Back 5

A and C. MOD is an operator and LCase() is a function.

Front 6

When no prefix is used, which scope would be used if values existed in all of the following for a variable of the same name?

A) FORM
B) URL
C) CLIENT
D) COOKIE

Back 6

B. The order of evaluation dictates that the URL appears before the others.

Front 7

Which of the following is the best syntax for an assignment statement?

A) <cfset #PassingDate#=#DateFormat(Now())#>
B) <cfset PassingDate=#DateFormat(Now())#>
C) <cfset #PassingDate#=DateFormat(Now())>
D) <cfset PassingDate=DateFormat(Now())>

Back 7

D. Although all are legal, the best use of #s, or in this case lack of #s, is shown in D.

Front 8

Which tag provides the greatest flexibility in verifying the presence of a variable and determining that its contents are valid?

A) <cfif>
B) <cfdump>
C) <cfparam>
D) <cfoutput>

Back 8

A. <cfparam> can be used to check for the presence of variables and to verify that they are of the correct type, but <cfparam> supports a finite site of types. <cfif provides far more flexibility in that it can do all that <cfparam> can do, and much more too. (Although you'll have to write more code to get the job done).

Front 9

What would the following code snippet display?

<cfset name="Ben">
<cfdump var="name">

A) The name Ben
B) The word VAR
C) The word name

Back 9

C. <cfdump> accepts an expression, not a variable name. The output would have been A if Var="#name#"; without the #s the output will be the string name.

Front 10

When no prefix is used, which scope would be used if values existed in all of the following for a variable of the same name?

A) CGI
B) CLIENT
C) FORM
D) VARIABLES

Back 10

D. The order of evaluation dictates that the VARIABLES appears before the others.

Front 11

What is the variable prefix for local variables?

A) LOCAL
B) VARIABLES
C) THIS
D) ATTRIBUTES

Back 11

B. The VARIABLES prefix is used for local variables.

Front 12

Expressions are a combination of operands, operators, and functions. Which of the following are operators?

A) Now()
B) ColdFusion variables
C) IS NOT
D) 78

Back 12

C. Now() is a function and ColdFusion variables and the number 78 are operands.

Front 13

Which of the following statements will add a new element, NY, to position 2 on the list variable States?

A) <cfset temp=ListSetAt(States,2,'NY')>
B) <cfset States=ListSetAt(States,2,'NY')>
C) <cfset temp=ListInsertAt(States,2,'NY')>
D) <cfset States=ListInsertAt(States,2,'NY')>

Back 13

D. ListSetAt() updates an element in the provided list. List functions do not modify lists; rather, they return modified lists. So we need to specify States= on the left hand side of the statement in order to change the State list value (using temp= just creates a second list called temp).

Front 14

Which of the following are lists? (select two)

A) Dates
B) Arrays
C) Structures
D) Strings

Back 14

A and D. Strings always can be accessed as lists. Dates can be treated as strings and therefore are lists (usually delimited by slashes or hyphens). Arrays and structures can never be accessed as lists.

Front 15

Which of the following are valid list delimiters?

A) ","
B) ""
C) "#Chr(13)##Chr(10)#"
D) "-"

Back 15

A, C and D. Because it is an empty string, B is not valid. (ColdFusion will not throw an error, but the list will always contain one element.)

Front 16

How many elements are in the list "Sid Wood"?

A) 0
B) 1
C) 2
D) 3

Back 16

A, B, C, and D. By default, the list has one element. If a space is used as a delimiter, the list has two elements. If two characters are used as delimiters (for example, er or no), the list has three elements. If the delimiter contains all the characters Sid Wood, the list has no elements at all.

Front 17

What will the following code snippet return?

<cfset liBurrows="City,Westminster,Hackney,Clapham,Islington">
<cfset strMyBurrow = ListGetAt(liBurrows,6)>
<cfoutput>#strMyBurrow#</cfoutput>

A) Islington
B) NULL
C) A ColdFusion Error
D) 0

Back 17

C. Referring to an element that does not exist will cause ColdFusion to throw an error. It's a good idea to check the length of a list using ListLen() before accessing specific elements.

Front 18

For variable scopes that do not require prefixes, list the order of evaluation of each scope.

Back 18

1) Query result variables (in a <cfoutput> loop).
2) Function local variables (in UDFs or CFCs)
3) ARGUMENTS (in a UDF or CFC)
4) Local variables
5) CGI variables
6) URL variables
7) FORM variables
8) COOKIE variables
9) CLIENT variables

Front 19

When no prefix is used, which scope would be used if values existed in all of the following for a variable of the same name?

A) URL
B) VARIABLES
C) CLIENT
D) CGI

Back 19

B. The order of evaluation dictates that the local variables appear before the others.

Front 20

Given the following code what would be the value of <cfoutput>#myCity#</cfoutput>?

<cfset cookie.myCity = "Paris" />
<cfset url.myCity = "Rome" />
<cfset form.myCity = "Vancouver" />
<cfset client.myCity = "New York" />

A) Paris
B) Rome
C) Vancouver
D) New York

Back 20

B. The order of evaluation dictates that the URL scope appears before the others.

Front 21

What is the ColdFusion operator for equals?

A) EQUALS
B) EQUAL
C) EQ
D) IS

Back 21

B, C, and D. EQUALS is not a valid operator in ColdFusion.

Front 22

What is the ColdFusion operator for not equal?

A) IS NOT
B) NEQ
C) NOT EQ
D) NOT EQUAL

Back 22

A, B, and D. NOT EQ is not a valid ColdFusion operator.

Front 23

What is the ColdFusion <cfif> operator for greater than?

A) GT
B) >
C) GREATER THAN
D) GRTH

Back 23

A and C. The others are not valid operators in ColdFusion.

Front 24

What is the ColdFusion <cfif> operator for less than or equal?

A) LT OR EQUAL
B) LTE
C) LESS THAN OR EQUAL
D) <=

Back 24

B and C. The others are not valid operators in ColdFusion.

Front 25

Which of the following operators are used to test for equality? (select two)

A) ==
B) IS THE SAME AS
C) IS
D) =
E) EQ

Back 25

C and E. The others are not valid operators in ColdFusion.

Front 26

Which of the following is logically equivalent to TRUE? (select all that apply)

A) -1
B) ON
C) 1
D) YES

Back 26

A, C and D. Remember that any number except zero evaluates to true.

Front 27

What would the following code generate?

<cfset name="Sid" />
<cfswitch expression="name">
<cfcase value="Sid">
Hello Sid.
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="Ben">
Hello Ben.
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="Sean">
Hello Sean.
</cfcase>
<cfdefaultcase>
I have no idea who you are.
</cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>

A) Hello Sid.
B) Hello Ben.
C) Hello Sean.
D) I have no idea who you are.

Back 27

D. <cfswitch> takes an expression as an attribute. Since #s weren't used, name would not be evaluated.

Front 28

How many different types of looping are there in ColdFusion? (list them in your mind)

A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) 6

Back 28

C. There are five different types of looping in ColdFusion.

1) Index loops
2) Conditional loops
3) Query loops
4) List loops
5) Collection loops

Front 29

Which of the following is not true of index loops?

A) They can iterate over numeric values.
B) \the loop value variable is assigned using the index attribute.
C) They can iterate over the alphabet.
D) They can step by negative increments.

Back 29

C. Index loops can iterate only over numeric values.

Front 30

What is the output from the following loop?


<cfset NumToGet="3">
<cfset i="1">
<cfloop condition="i LTE NumToGet">
<cfset i=i+1>
<cfoutput>#i#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

A) 1 2 3
B) 2 3
C) 1 2
D) 2 3 4

Back 30

D.Because the counter i is incremented and then displayed, the first value is 2. The number 4 is shown because the loop does not terminate immediately when the condition is false; rather, it finishes the loop.

Front 31

A collection loop is used to loop over a structure that contains key-value pairs of Animal-Cow, Legs-4, Tail-Yes. What is the value of the attribute 'item' in the loop?

A) Animal, Legs, Tail
B) Animal. Cow, Legs. 4, Tail. Yes
C) Cow, 4, Yes
D) Cow, 4, Tail

Back 31

A. The variable specified in the item attribute takes on the keys of the structure in the loop.

Front 32

The loop variable is assigned using the index attribute in which types of loops?

A) Conditional
B) Index
C) Collection
D) List

Back 32

B and D. The conditional loop has only one attribute, condition, and the collection loop used item.

Front 33

What does the <cflocation> addtoken attribute do?


A) Forces a page redirect.
B) Creates SESSION variables.
C) Appends client identification information to the redirected URL.
D) Creates identification cookies in the client browser.

Back 33

C. addtoken appends client identification information within the query string of ths redirected page. These may be set as cookies too, but not necessarily so.

Front 34

Which of the following are true about <cfheader>? (select two)

A) It creates attribute/value pairs in the request header.
B) It creates attribute/value pairs in the response header.
C) It can be used to prevent a browser from caching a page.
D) If can be used to prevent a server from caching a page.

Back 34

B and C. <cfheader> is used on the server side to alter response headers. The response header is sent to the browser and can tell it not to cache a page.

Front 35

The following <cfinclude> tag uses what kind of path?

<cfinclude template="/template_mapping/header.cfm">

A) Relative
B) ColdFusion Mapping

Back 35

B. The first character after the quotation mark is a forward slash (/) so a ColdFusion mapping is used.

Front 36

What is displayed from he following code?

ABC<cfcontent type="text/html" reset="Yes">DEF

A) ABC
B) ABCDEF
C) ABEF
D) DEF

Back 36

D. reset="Yes" clears any display before the tag, so ABC is not shown.

Front 37

ColdFusion provides a framework for combining application pages or templates into a single coherent application. This application framework provides three basic sets of functionality. Select those three from the options below.

A) Application-wide variables and code.
B) Access the the server file system.
C) Error-handling services
D) Client and application state management.
E) Integration with mail servers.

Back 37

A, C and D.

Front 38

Which of the following Application.cfc methods is executed first?

A) onRequest()
B) onRequestStart()
C) onRequestEnd()
D) onRequestNew()

Back 38

B. There is no onRequestNew() method, and onRequest() executes in between onRequestStart() and onRequestEnd().

Front 39

Where must OnRequestEnd.cfm be in order to be executed?

A) In the current directory
B) In the Web Root
C) In the application root
D) in the same directory as the executed Application.cfm

Back 39

D. Each OnRequestEnd.cfm is paired with an Application.cfm file. OnRequestEnd.cfm runs only if it is located in he same directory as the Application.cfm file that was executed.

Front 40

When should onRequest() not be used? (select two)

A) When Web Services are being used.
B) When locking is being used.
C) When Flash Remoting is being used.
D) When onRequestStart() is being used.
E) When Flash is being used.

Back 40

A and C. onRequest() cannot be used with Web Services or Flash Remoting.

Front 41

When using Application.cfc, which method can be used to set local VARIABLES that can be used within the page being requested?

A) onRequestStart()
B) onRequest()
C) onRequestEnd()
D) None, local variables set within a CFC are local to the CFC.

Back 41

B. Local variables are indeed local to the CFC, but as the requested page is included using <cfinclude> that page shares the CFC scope.

Front 42

Which best describes the functionality of the onRequest() method of an Application.cfc?

A) Generally used to set request data.
B) If present it is executed in lieu of the page that was requested.
C) If present it is used for setting variables for Flash Remoting.
D) Generally used to preform some action after a page request has been completed.

Back 42

B.

Front 43

What variables does a <cfquery> query object contain?


A) RecordCount
B) ColumnList
C) ExecutionTime
D) DBTYPE

Back 43

A, and B. DBTYPE is an attribute of the <cfquery> tag and execution time is not in the query object (it is returned as cfquery.executionTime)

Front 44

<cfoutput> with the GROUP attribute requires which SQL clause in the SQL query?

A) WHERE
B) GROUP BY
C) ORDER BY
D) JOIN

Back 44

C. Although the <cfoutput> group attribute can be used in conjunction with SQL GROUP BY operation, <cfoutput> group and GROUP BY are not related (the later is used when preforming aggregate calculation.).

Front 45

What combination of attributes in <cfquery> does a query of queries require?

A) name and datasource
B) dbtype and datasource
C) name and query
D) name and dbtype

Back 45

D. Query of queries requires a name and dbtype attributes.

Front 46

Which of the following SQL operations can be preformed by using <cfquery>?

A) SELECT
B) INSERT
C) UPDATE
D) Stored Procedure

Back 46

A, B, C and D. Any SQL statement can be passed to the database by using <cfquery>, provided that the destination driver can handle it.

Front 47

What combination of attributes does a index loop require?

A) index, list, delimiters
B) index, from, to, step
C) index, from, to
D) collection, item

Back 47

C. The step attribute is optional and defaults to 1.

Front 48

What combination of attributes does a query loop require?

A) query, startrow, endrow
B) name, startrow, endrow
C) query
D) query, start, end

Back 48

C. Startrow and endrow are optional attributes.

Front 49

The cfquery tag returns which of the following result variables in a structure?

A) CurrentRow
B) RecordCount
C) Cached
D) sqlParameters
E) ExecutionTime
F) ColumnList

Back 49

B, C, D, E, and F. CurrentRow is returned in the query object. RecordCount and ColumnList are in both the query object as well as the structure.

Front 50

Which character is used to separate URL variables?

A) ?
B) =
C) &
D) %

Back 50

C. If you got this one wrong you shouldn't take the exam.

Front 51

Which function should be used to ensure that URL variables contain only safe text?

A) Trim()
B) URLEncodedFormat()
C) URLDecodedFormat()
D) Val()

Back 51

B.

Front 52

A) <a href="index.cfm?#URLEncodedFormat("Emily Kim")#">
B) <cfset URLVar.FName="Emily">
C) <cfparam name="URL.FName" default="Emily">
D) <a name="index.cfm?#URLEncodedFormat("Emily Kim")#">

Back 52

C.

Front 53

What is the recommended METHOD to use when submitting forms to ColdFusion pages?

A) get
B) action
C) post
D) head

Back 53

C. post is the safest method to use.

Front 54

Which of the following is an example of a form control that does not pass a value to the action page by default?

A) Text box
B) Text area
C) Checkbox
D) Drop-down select control

Back 54

C. A select control that allows multiple options but has none selected could act like a set of checkboxes (depending on the browser used). However, this question lists a drop-down select control. A drop-down by default always passes a value.

Front 55

Consider the following checkboxes:

<input type="checkbox" name="FavCountry" value="US">United States
<input type="checkbox" name="FavCountry" value="CAN">Canada
<input type="checkbox" name="FavCountry" value="ENG">England
<input type="checkbox" name="FavCountry" valUE="FRA">France

If you checked France and Canada, what would your FORM variable look like?

A) FavCountry=CAN,FRA
B) FavCountry=CAN
C) FavCountry=FRA
D) FavCountry=CAN&FRA

Back 55

A.

Front 56

Which form of validation is the most secure?

A) Client-side
B) Auto-generated server-side
C) Manual server-side

Back 56

C. Anything sent to the browser is inherently less secure than manual server-side validation.

Front 57

Which of the following statements is true?

A) The use of SERVER variables must be explicitly enabled in ColdFusion administrator.
B) SERVER variables can always be used and cannot be disabled.
C) SERVER variables may be used as long as an Application file is present.

Back 57

B. Unlike APPLICATION variables, SERVER variables are always available and may always be used. This cannot be prevented.

Front 58

Where are APPLICATION variables stored?

A) Server memory
B) Server cookies
C) Client cookies
D) Database

Back 58

A. All the others are incorrect.

Front 59

Which Application.cfc method should be used to set SERVER variables?

A) onApplicationStart()
B) onServerStart()
C) onRequestStart()
D) onRequest()
E) none of the above

Back 59

E. This is a trick question. There is no onServerStart() method, and although onApplicationStart(), onRequestStart() and onRequest() could indeed be used to set SERVER variables, so could any other files and code too, so there is no special reason why these should be used.

Front 60

What value would you assign to the expires attribute of the <cfcookie> tag if you wanted to create a browser session cookie?

A) session
B) browser
C) now
D) Don't set the expires attribute.

Back 60

D. Session and browser are not valid settings for the expires attribute. now would expire the cookie immediately. By not setting an expires attribute at all you create a browser session cookie.

Front 61

Which variable types can be shared among clustered servers? (select two)

A) CLIENT
B) COOKIE
C) ColdFusion SESSION
D) J2EE SESSION
E) SERVER

Back 61

A and D. CLIENT is the only variable type that is stored to disk, and J2EE session variables can be replicated between servers by the underlying J2EE Server.

Front 62

Which of the following variables may store a ColdFusion query?

A) SESSION
B) CLIENT
C) COOKIE

Back 62

A. CLIENT and COOKIE may only store simple data.

Front 63

What combination of attributes does a query loop require?

A) query, startrow, endrow
B) name, startrow, endrow
C) query
D) query, start, end

Back 63

C. Startrow and endrow are optional attributes.

Front 64

Choose the legal <cflock> statement.

A) <cflock timeout="16">
B) <cflock name="myLock" scope="session" timeout="16">
C) <cflock scope="myLock" timeout="16" type="readonly">
D) <cflock name="myLock" timeout="16">

Back 64

D. A is incorrect because <cflock> requires either the scope or the name attribute. B is incorrect because name and scope are mutually exclusive attributes. C is incorrect because the scope attribute must be a valid scope name.

Front 65

Which variable scopes should be locked to ensure controlled access? (select all that apply)

A) REQUEST
B) CLIENT
C) SESSION
D) APPLICATION
E) SERVER

Back 65

C, D and E. All three can be shared between requests.

Front 66

When can deadlocks occur? (select two)

A) When locks are nested.
B) When locks are in a different order on different pages.
C) When locks wait for each other and are not nested.
D) When readonly locks are declared against the CLIENT scope.

Back 66

A and B. C is incorrect because deadlocks occur only when locks are nested. D is incorrect because the CLIENT scope is not a variable type that requires locking.

Front 67

Which of the following are lists? (select two)

A) Dates
B) Arrays
C) Structures
D) Strings

Back 67

A and D. Strings can always be accessed as lists. Dates can be treated as strings and therefore as lists (usually delimited by slashes or hyphens).

Front 68

Which of the following are valid list delimiters? (select all that apply)

A) ","
B) ""
C) "#chr(13)##chr(10)#"
D) "-"

Back 68

B, C and D. Because it is an empty string, B is not valid.

Front 69

What function do you use to create an array? (select two)

A) ArrayNew()
B) ListToArray()
C) ArrayCopy()
D) NewArray()

Back 69

A and B. ArrayNew() is usually used to create an array, but ListToArray() can be used too. Neither C nor D is a valid function.

Front 70

Why will the following code fail?

<cfset items=ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset items[1]=100>
<cfset items[2]=150>
<cfset items[4]=200>
<cfset total=ArraySum(items)>

A) Items is not an array.
B) Items is missing index 3
C) ArraySum() can't sum one-dimensional arrays.
D) ArraySum() is not a valid function.

Back 70

B.

Front 71

Why will the following code fail? (select two)

<cfset a=ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset ArrayResize(a,400)>
<cfset LoopUntil=ArrayLen(a)>
<cfloop from="1" to="#LoopUntil#" index="i">
<cfset ArrayDeleteAt(a,i)>
</cfloop>

A) <cfset requires an equals sign.
B) An array must be resized to a size greater than 500.
C) The index passed to ArrayDeleteAt() will be invalid.
D) The loop will go past the arrays length.

Back 71

C and D.

Front 72

Which of the following statements are false? (select two)

A) An associative array is a form of array.
B) Multidimensional arrays are "arrays in arrays".
C) Arrays can have a maximum of three dimensions.
D) One-dimensional arrays can contain simple values.

Back 72

A and C.

Front 73

Which of the following can be used in flash forms? (select three)

A) <cftextarea>
B) <cfinput type="submit">
C) <cfinput type="file">
D) <cfslider>
E) <cfselect>

Back 73

A, B and E. <cfinput type="file"> is not supported, and <cfslider> is only supported as a Java applet, but not as flash.

Front 74

Which tag is used to align and place form controls?

A) <cfform>
B) <cfformitem>
C) <cfformgroup>
D) <cfformalign>

Back 74

C. A and B are valid tags but are not used for control alignment and placement, D is not a valid tag.

Front 75

Which of the following requires the use of Adobe Flash or Adobe Flex (instead of Flash Forms)?

A) Bindings
B) Server-side events
C) Embedded expressions
D) Custom Controls
E) Control styling

Back 75

B and D. Server-side events and the creation of custom controls requires the use of flash or flex.

Front 76

What is a data binding in flash forms and how is it implemented?

Back 76

Data Binding in flash forms allows controls to be connected to each other, so that they are aware of the values or changes in other controls and can react or change accordingly.

To implement binding you add the BIND attribute to the <cfinput> tag. The attribute takes an ActionScript expression using {} as delimiters (in much the same way as ColdFusion used #).

Front 77

In a flash form, which of the following is NOT a valid type for <cfformitem>? (select two)

A) <cfformitem type="hrule">
B) <cfformitem type="hline">
C) <cfformitem type="vrule">

A) <cfformitem type="text">
B) <cfformitem type="html">
C) <cfformitem type="space">
D) <cfformitem type="linebreak">

Back 78

C and D. space and linebreak do not exist. There is a type="spacer" though.

Front 79

Which of the following can be used in ColdFusion XForms?

A) <cftextarea>
B) <cfinput type="submit">
C) <cfinput type="file">
D) <cfslider>
E) <cfselect>

Back 79

A, B, C, D and E. Any controls may be used, as long as the XSL skin used has been written to support them.

Front 80

What is the minimum number of files needed to use XForms in ColdFusion?

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4

Back 80

B. At a minimum, a file containing a <cfform> and an .xsl file are needed.

Front 81

What belongs in an XSL file in ColdFusion XForms?

A) Form action
B) Colours
C) Client-side Javascript
D) Submit button

Back 81

B and C. The form action should not be in the .xsl, that is in the form itself. Similarly, no control definitions (including submit buttons) belong in the .xsl file.

Front 82

In a ColdFusion form, is the following code snippet valid?

<cfformgroup type="page">
<cfformgroup type="accordion">
Item 1
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="accordion">
Item 2
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>

Back 82

No. <cfformgroup type="page"> must always be nested inside a <cfformgroup type="accordian"> or a <cfformgroup type="tannavigator"> form group.

Front 83

In a ColdFusion form, is the following code snippet valid?

<cfformgroup type="accordion">
<cfformgroup type="page">
Item 1
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="page">
Item 2
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>

Back 83

Yes. <cfformgroup> can be nested and in the case of a </cfformgroup type="page"> it must be nested within a <cfformgroup type="accordion"> or <cfformgroup type="tabnavigation">

Front 84

What does <cfformgroup type="tile"> do?

Back 86

No, use only with nested groups and not for form controls.

Front 87

What does <cfformgroup type="repeater"> do?

What arguments does it take?

Back 87

Dynamically creates an instance of the cfformgroup's child tag or tags for each row of a query object, without requiring ColdFusion to recompile the Flash SWF file when the number of rows changes.

It takes a single query="" attribute.

Front 88

Which of the following tags will not generate printable output? (select two)

A) <a href>
B) <p>

Front 89

Which tags are used to set print margins?

A) <cfdocument>
B) <cfdocumentmargin>
C) <cfdocumentitem>
D) <cfdocumentsection>

Back 89

A and D. Margins can be set for the entire <cfdocument> as well at the <cfdocumentsection> level. B is not a valid tag, and C is incorrect because margins are nt set using <cfdocumentitem>.

Front 90

What printable formats are supported by <cfdocument>?

A) Excel
B) FlashPaper
C) HTML
D) PDF
E) RTF

Back 90

B and D. A (Excel) is supported by <cfreport> but not by <cfdocument>, C and E are not supported at this time.

F) Structures

Back 95

B,C,D,E. Queries may be passed to the query attribute, and all simple data types (including dates, numbers, and strings) may be passed as input parameters.

Front 96

What output formats are currently supported by <cfreport>?

A) Excel
B) Flash Paper
C) HTML
D) PDF
E) RTF

A) <cfpop>
B) <cfstoredproc>
C) <cfsearch>
D) <cfdocument>
E) <cffile>
F) <cfoutput>

Back 97

A,B,C. All of these return queries (they are not database queries but any query is usable), the other three do not return queries.

Front 98

Like printable pages generated using <cfdocument>, reports generated via <cfreport> may be saved (instead of served) by specifying what attrbute?

Back 98

filename="".

Front 99

What file extensions does <cfreport> support?

A) .cfm
B) .cfc

Front 103

Which of the following cannot be achieved in a <cfscript> block? (select all that apply)

A) Variable assignments.
B) Looping
C) ColdFusion Component invocation.
D) HTTP requests.
E) CORBA object invocation.
F) Custom tag invocation.

Back 103

D and F.

Front 104

Choose the statements that are true.

A) There are more operators (such as ++ and &&) in scripting than in CFML.
B) Scripting is capable of doing everything CFML does.
C) switch and case are available only in <cfscript> blocks.
D) Scripting allows for do-while looping.

Back 104

D. A is false because the same operators are used in CFML as in CFScript (but this statement is true in ColdFusion 8). B is false because CFML is capable of doing things that CFScript isn't. C is false because switch/case statements are available in both CFML and CFScript.

Front 105

What is the output of the following code?

<cfscript>
x=1;
switch(x) {
case 1: {x=2; WriteOutput("World");}
case 2: {x=1; WriteOutput("Hello");}
}
<cfscript>

A) Hello World
B) World Hello World
C) World
D) World Hello

Back 105

D. As no break statement is used, both lines of code are executed.

Front 106

is the following script block valid?

<cfscript>
for(index lt 10; index=1; index=index+1;) {
writeOutput(index);
}
<cfscript>

Back 106

No. The for() loop's first statement executes before the loop begins and since index has not been defined this code will throw an error.

Front 107

is the following script block valid?

<cfscript>
for(index=1; index lt 10; index=index+1;) {
writeOutput(index);
}
<cfscript>

Back 107

Yes.

Front 108

How does the while loop operate in CFScript?

What type of <cfloop> in CFML is it similar too?

Back 108

a while loop simply loops until a provided expression returns true.

x=1;
while (x GT 5) {
x=x+1;
writeOutput(x);
}

It is very similar to the conditional <cfloop> in CFML

<cfset x=1>
<cfloop condition="x GT 5">
<cfset x=x+1>
<cfoutput>#x#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

Front 109

What is the difference between a while loop and a do-while loop in CFScript?

Back 109

The difference between a while loop and a do-while loop in CFScript is that the condition is tested after each iteration, rather than before.

Front 110

What is the CFScript for-in loop used for?

Back 110

The for-in loop is used to check a structure for a specific key.

for (x IN myStruct) {
//code to loop over goes here
}

Front 111

List the three main dynamic functions used today in ColdFusion.

Back 111

IIF(), DE(), and Evaluate().

SetVariable() sets variables where the variable name is a variable and is not used much anymore due to enhancements in the core language and tags.

Front 112

If I want to output the sum of two variables, which of the following will work?

A) <cfoutput>#var1#+#var2#</cfoutput>
B) <cfoutput>#var1+var2#</cfoutput>
C) <cfoutput>evaluate(var1+var2)</cfoutput>

Back 112

B and C. Evaluate() is not needed for simple expressions.

Front 113

Choose all the statements that are true.

A) The DE() function is always used to display output.

B) The DE() function stops ColdFusion from processing expressions.

C) DE() and IIF() can be used together.

D) The letters in DE() stand for "do evaluation".

Back 113

B and C. One of the purposes of DE() is to stop ColdFusion from evaluating an expression. This can be used in an IIf() function to return a literal rather than a value. Answer A is incorrect because DE() is not used only for output. Answer D is incorrect because DE stands for "delay evaluation".

Front 114

What will be the output of the following code?

<cfoutput>#iif(1 is 1, "Evaluate(1,2,3)","'Hello'")#</cfoutput>

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) Hello

Back 114

C. The condition 1 IS 1 is true and returns the first of the two arguments. The first argument has three expressions within it (1,2,3 are three seperate expressions). Because ColdFusion always returns the last expression, the right most one is returned (3).

Front 115

What does the following code do?

<cfset x="Array">
<cfset Evaluate("p = "&x&"New(1)")>

A) Creates an array named x.
B) Creates an array named p.
C) The code does not work.
D) None of the above.

Back 115

B. The Evaluate() function can create expressions by concatenating strings and literals. The complete expression evaluates to "p=ArrayNew(1)", which creates a new array.

Front 116

In the code below what does z equal?

<cfset x="y">
<cfset y="x">
<cfset z = IIf(x is y,DE(x),x)>

A) x
B) y
C) null
D) None of the above.

Back 116

A. It might appear that the answer is B(y). However, because x has no quotes around it, it is actually evaluated twice. First, it is evaluated to see what it equals (y), and then that value is evaluated as an expression in itself, which equals "x". It is doubtful anything this difficult would be on the exam.

Front 117

What does the letters in IIf() stand for?

Back 117

Immediate If.

Front 118

Why are stored procedures better than views or queries? (choose all that apply)

A) They execute faster.
B) They are more secure.
C) They are easier to create.
D) They are more powerful
E) They work with all databases.

Back 118

A, B and D.

Front 119

When should the type attribute of the <cfprocparam> tag be set to inout?

A) A parameter needs to be sent back from a stored procedure only.
B) A parameter is sent to a stored procedure and a different parameter is returned.
C) A parameter of the same name is sent and received from the stored procedure.
D) A stored procedure optionally accepts parameters

Back 119

C.

Front 120

<cfprocresult> returns what type of data?

A) Structure of queries.
B) Queries
C) Arrays
D) Simple data

Back 120

B. <cfprocparam> can return arrays, but <cfprocresult> always returns queries.

Front 121

Which of the following statements are true?

A) The <cftransaction> tag can controll isolation levels.
B) Isolation levels affect performance.
C) Isolation levels affect locking
D) ColdFusion enforces isolation when a database does not.

Back 121

A,B and C. The <cftransaction> tag has an isolation attribute. Whether the database respects this isolation attribute is beyond your control. Isolation levels can effect performance, with serializable the worst performer and read uncommitted the best. Isolation levels also affect the way records are locked. D is the only answer that is false, because the database has full control over what is locked.

Front 122

What is the primary purpose of <cftransaction>?

A) To commit all inserts to the database.
B) To make sure dirty reads do not take place.
C) To support commit and rollback features of a relational database system.
D) To supplement the <cflock> tag in locking database records.

Back 122

C. Answer A is incorrect because <cftransaction> supports rollbacks as well as commits. B is incorrect because a dirty read is possible, depending on the isolation level. D is also incorrect because <cflock> has nothing to do with database transactions per se.

Front 123

What isolation level provided to the <cftransaction> tag could allow "dirty reads" to occur?

A) serializable
B) read_committed
C) read_uncommited
D) repeatable_read

Back 123

C.

A dirty read occurs when a certain transaction reads data that has not been committed.

Front 124

What is wrong with the following code?

<cftransaction>
<cfquery datasource....> ... </cfquery>
<cftransaction action="commit">
</cftransaction>

A) Commits must be preformed in a <cfif> block
B) Inner <cftransaction> is not terminated
C) Transaction tags cannot be nested.
D) Queries must be preformed after commits are executed

Back 124

B. If the inner <cftransaction tag were terminated the code would work.

Front 125

Which isolation level is the least efficient?

A) serializable
B) repeatable_read
C) read_committed
D) read_uncommited

Back 125

A.

Front 126

Which isolation level is the second least efficient?

A) serializable
B) repeatable_read
C) read_committed
D) read_uncommited

Back 126

B.

Front 127

Which isolation level is the most efficient?

Front 129

What would you use to time the execution of specific lines of code?

A) <cflog>
B) <cftimer>
C) GetTickCount()
D) Debug()

Back 129

B and C. <cftimer> blocks and manual use of GetTickCount() are used to determine code execution time. <cflog> writes to log files and there is no Debug() function.

Front 130

From which of the following can ColdFusion debugging output be accessed?

A) ColdFusion Administrator
B) Dreamweaver
C) cfstat
D) Web browser

Back 130

B and D. Debug information is viewable withing Dreamweaver and via a web browser.

Front 131

Exception - and exception structure containing the following error variables.

1) Browser
2) DateTime
3) Diagnostics
4) GeneratedContent
5) HTTPReferer

Front 134

Can you use <cftry>/<cfcath> to catch a syntax error, such as a missing attribute?

A) YES
B) NO

Back 134

B. You cannot use <cftry>/<cfcath> to handle syntax errors. Only runtime errors.

Front 135

If the type attribute were not used in a <cftrow>, what type do you use in a <cfcatch> to handle the error?

A) Any
B) Application
C) Object
D) Template
E) Security

Back 135

A and B. Any will catch all exceptions and Application will catch any custom error without a specified type.

D) In OnRequestEnd.cfm
E) In Application.cfc

Back 140

B and E.

Front 141

When is a user logged out of an application? (select two)

A) When the time-out is reached.
B) When the next user logs in.
C) When the browser is closed.
D) When her password changes.

Back 141

A and C. Users are logged out when a time-out occurs or when the browser closes (or when <cflogout> is invoked).

Front 142

Which HTTP status code should be used to force a browser login form to be displayed?

A) 200
B) 401
C) 404
D) 500

Back 142

What is the best way to set default values for optional Custom Tag attributes?

A) <cfparam name="ATTRIBUTES.MyAttribute" default="MyValue">
B) <cfset MyAttribute="MyValue">
C) <input type="hidden" name="MyAttribute" value="MyValue">
D) <cf_mycustomtag myattribute="myvalue">

Back 145

A.

Front 146

Which variable of the ThisTag scope declares whether the tag is in start or end mode?

A) THISTAG.GeneratedContent
B) THISTAG.StartOrEnd
C) THISTAG.HasEndTag
D) THISTAG.ExecutionMode.

Back 146

D.

Front 147

In which execution mode should most Custom Tag processing typically occur?

A) start
B) end
C) inactive

Back 147

B.

Front 148

The <cfassociate> tag is used with nested Custom Tags to do what?

A) Pass generated content to the Custom Tag's end mode
B) Pass data from the start mode to the end mode?
C) Pass a child tag's data back to the parent tag
D) Pass a parent tag's data to the child tag.

Back 148

C.

Front 149

What does the GetBaseTagList() function do in a nested Custom Tag?

Back 149

I returns a list of names of each tag surrounding and including the current tag.

Front 150

In a nested Custom Tag, how does the child tag access data from the parent tag?

Back 150

By using GetBaseTagData(tag_name) function which returns a structure with target tag attributes as keys.

Front 151

What does the basetag attribute do in the <cfassociate> tag?

Back 151

The basetag attribute names the parent tag to which you will be passing all the child tag data.

Front 152

What does the datacollection attribute do in the <cfassociate> tag?

What happens if you do not include it?

Back 152

The datacollection attribute allows you to name the array-of-structures returned which contains all the child tag's attributes.

If it is not included with the <cfassociate> tag the array-of-structures returned will be named AssocAttribs

Front 153

Which of the following arrays contains information passed to a UDF?

A) Attributes
B) Arguments
C) Parameters
D) Var

Back 153

B. Arguments is an array that contains every passed argument, regardless of whether it is enumerated explicitly.

Front 154

Which of the following keywords creates protected variables withing a UDF?

A) var
B) set
C) return
D) variable

Back 154

A. You must use the var keyword to create a variable local to the UDF. Omitting the VAR causes the variable to be created in hte calling code's scope.

Front 155

What are the advantages of tag-based UDFs over <cfscript> based UDFs? (select two)

A) Execution speed
B) Automatic argument and type checking
C) Ability to be used as tag attributes
D) Ability to access any CFML language elements
E) Ability to be passed as a parameter to another UDF.

Back 155

B and D. A is incorrect, as there is no difference in execution speed. C and E are incorrect, as the statements are true of both tag-based and <cfscript>-based UDFs.

Front 156

Is it possible to scope UDFs like the snippet below?

<cfscript>
function myFunction(x) {
return(val(arguments.x)+1);
}
</cfscript>

<cfset REQUEST.myFunction=myFunction>

A) Yes
B) No

Back 156

A. Yes you can scope UDFs.

Front 157

When a UDF is passed as a parameter to another UDF, what two functions are available to check if the passed UDF operates as expected?

Back 157

IsCustomFunction() - checks if a specified function is actually a UDF.

GetMetaData() - returns details about a function (the parameters it is defined to expect, what it returns, and so on) and can be used to check that a passed function is defined as intended.

Front 158

What are valid reasons for using CFCs? (select three)

A) Reuse
B) Access to underlying Java
C) Tiered Development
D) Accessible outside of ColdFusion
E) Error handling

Back 158

A, C and D.

Front 159

What is wrong with the following code?

<cfobject component="emps" name="empsObj">
<cfinvoke component="empsObj" method="Get">

A) Missing path in <cfobject>
B) component in <cfinvoke> is not a valid object
C) <cfobject> is missing a method attribute
D) Missing a returnvariable attribute

Back 159

B. empObj is missing # characters, and so a string is being passed instead of an object. A is incorrect as a is not always needed. C is incorrect as method is not used in <cfobject>. D is incorrect because returnvariable is always optional.

Front 160

Which of the following <cffunction> arguments is required?

A) access
B) name
C) output
D) returntype

Back 160

B.

Front 161

Which <cffunction> argument is used to enable methods to be accessed ouside of local ColdFusion?

Front 163

Which protocols are Web Services built on? (select two)

A) MIME
B) POP
C) SOAP
D) XML
E) LDAP
F) RSS

Back 163

C and D. Web Service data is XML in a SOAP package.

Front 164

Which tag is used to invoke web services?

A) <cfhttp>
B) <cfinvoke>
C) <cfobject>
D) <cfxml>

Back 164

B. <cfinvoke> is used to invoke ColdFusion Components and Web Services. A is incorrect, as <cfinvoke> handles its own HTTP calls internally. C is incorrect, as only CFCs can be instantiated as objects, not Web Services. D is incorrect, as all Web Services' XML processing is handled by ColdFusion internally.

Front 165

Which <cffunction> attributes are required for a function to be accessible as a Web Service? (select three)

A) access
B) name
C) output
D) returntype
E) roles

Back 165

A, B and D. For a CFC function to be accessed as a Web Service, it must be named using NAME, acess must be set with access="remote", and the return type must be specified too.

Front 166

What does the acronym, SOAP, stand for? What is it?

Back 166

Simple Object Access Protocol.

SOAP is the protocol used to serving and consuming Web Services, much like HTTP is the protocol used in serving and viewing web pages.

Front 167

What does WSDL stand for and what is it?

Back 167

WSDL, Web Service Description Language, is an XML format used to describe the methods exposed by a web service, including what arguments those methods expect, what they return, the URL to each and so on.

Front 168

What is the preferred extensibility interface for ColdFusion (as of ColdFusion MX)?

A) Java
B) COM
C) CFX
D) CORBA

Back 168

A. As ColdFusion runs on underlying Java internally, Java is the preferred extensibility option.

Front 169

What tag would you use to access a JSP Tag Library?

A) <cfobject>
B) <cfmodule>
C) <cfinvoke>
D) <cfimport>

Back 169

D. <cfimport> is used to import JSP Tag Libraries. A is used to load objects (such as Java objects). B is incorrect, as <cfmodule> only works for CF Custom Tags. <cfinvoke> is also incorrect as it is used to invoke CFCs and Web Services.

Front 170

What CFML language element can be used to invoke a Java object? (select two)

A) <cfobject>
B) JavaCast()
C) CreateObject()
D) <cfjava>

Back 170

A and C.

Front 171

What does the <cfimport> tag do?

Back 171

<cfimport> tag is used to import all ColdFusion pages in a directory, as a custom tag library or to import a Java Server Page (JSP) tag library.

Front 172

Before you can call a COM object from within ColdFusion code, you must first register it with the system.

A) TRUE
B) FALSE

Back 172

A. This statement is true.

Front 173

Which of the following CFML language elements create XML Document Objects? (select two)

A) <cfxml>
B) XMLParse()
C) XMLSearch()
D) XMLFormat()

Back 173

A and B. <cfxml> creates XML Document Objects, as does XMLParse(). C and D are valid functions but do not create XML Document Objects.

Front 174

Which of he following is used to convert an XML Document Object to its string representation?

A) XMLFormat()
B) XMLParse()
C) ToXML()
D) ToString()

Back 174

D. ToString() creates an XML document from an XML Document Object. XMLParse() is exactly the opposite. XMLFormat() creates XML-safe text, and ToXML() does not exist.

Front 175

Which of the following statements are true? (select two)

A) XML Documents may be case sensitive.
B) XML documents are in binary format.
C) XML documents contain page formating information.
D) XML documents must be well formed.

Back 175

A and D. XML Documents may indeed be case sensitive, and they must be well formed (which is why ToString() should be used to generate the XML document). XML is not in a binary format (it is in plain text), and it does not (or should not) contain page formating information; XML describes data (not layout as HTML does).

Front 176

What does XMLParse() do?

Back 176

It creates an XML Document Object from a XML text string. The XML text string is created by using <cffile action="read"> on an XML document.

Front 177

What does XMLValidate() do? What attributes does it take?

Back 177

Which of the following is not a valid action attribute for the <cfwddx> tag?

A) CFML2ASP
B) CFML2JS
C) WDDX2CFML
D) CFML2WDDX

Back 178

A. The other three are valid.

Front 179

Which of the following options would you use to convert a ColdFusion two-dimensional array called names into a WDDX packet and write the results to the page?

A) <cfwddx action="CFML2WDDX" input="#names#">
B) <cfwddx action="CFML2PAGE" input="#names#">
C) <cfwddx action="CFML2WDDX" input="#names#" writetopage="Yes">
D) <cfwddx action="CFML2WDDX" input="#names#" output="This.page">

Back 179

A. By not declaring an output attribute, you are telling ColdFusion to write the results of the WDDX packet to the page.

Front 180

When outputting a WDDX packet to the page, by not declaring an output attribute, what should you ensure is disabled in the Administrator?

Back 180

Debugging should be disabled or the html output at the bottom of the screen will corrupt the packet. You could also disable the output using <cfsetting showDebugOutput="No">.

Front 181

Which of the following is not a valid action attribute for the <cfwddx> tag? (select two)

A) CFML2JS
B) CFML2WDDX
C) JS2WDDX
D) WDDX2JS
E) JS2CFML

Back 181

C and E. The other three are valid.

Front 182

Whats wrong with the code below?

<cfset arrTest = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset arrTest[1] = "test">
<cfwddx action="CFML2WDDX" input="arrTest" output="NewPacket">

Back 182

This just creates a WDDX packet of the literal string "arrTest". You need to place #s arounf the arrTest variable.

Front 183

Whats wrong with the code below?

<cfset arrTest = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset arrTest[1] = "test">
<cfwddx action="WDDX2CFML" input="#arrTest#" output="NewPacket">

Back 183

The wrong type has been used. it should be CFML2WDDX not WDDX2CFML.

Front 184

Which of the following can be invoked directly via Flash Remoting?

A) Custom Tags
B) ColdFusion Components
C) User-defined functions

Back 184

B. Invoked code could indeed call Custom Tags or UDFs but these cannot be invoked directly from Flash.

Front 185

Which scope is used to access data submitted via Flash Remoting? (select two)

A) ARGUMENTS
B) ATTRIBUTES
C) FLASH
D) URL

Back 185

A and C. ARGUMENTS will contain passed arguments if invoking a CFC; FLASH will contain passed arguments if invoking a .cfm file.

Front 186

Why are CFCs the prefered method for utilizing Flash Remoting? (select two)

A) Separation of presentation and content
B) Performance
C) Simplified integration
D) Access to all CFML
E) Portability

Back 186

A and C. CFCs indeed encourage separation of content and they provide the simplest integration. B is false because CFCs are not automatically faster than .cfm files. D is false, since CFCs have the same access to CFML that straight .cfm files do. E is false, as CFCs and .cfm files are equally portable.

Front 187

What are the limitations of server-side ActionScript?

Back 187

Limited to database queries and server-side http requests.

Server-side ActionScript only exposes <cfquery> and <cfhttp>.

Front 188

What does the DataGlue.as file do when included in ActionScript code that is has retrieved data from Flash Remoting?

Back 188

It provides a function library called DataGlue used to bind data with objects.

DataGlue is not always needed as soem objects, like the DataGrid, can accept recordSets directly.

Front 189

In Flash Remoting, when sending data back to the client from a .cfm page, what variable should you always use?

Back 189

FLASH.result

Front 190

In Flash Remoting, if a CFC method getGrades() returns data to the client, what function must exist in the Flash Movie to handle the results?

Back 190

getGrades_Result()

Front 191

Are Event Gateways supported in ColdFusion Standard Edition?

A) YES
B) NO

Back 191

B.

Front 192

What is the default number of available threads for Event Gateway processing assuming that it has not been altered in the ColdFusion Administrator?

Back 192

10

Front 193

What is the default request queue size for Event Gateways assuming that it has not been altered in the ColdFusion Administrator?

Back 193

25,000

Front 194

What function is used to initiate an event gateway request?

A) CreateObject()
B) OnIncommingMessage()
C) SendGatewayMesage()
D) SetGatewayMessage()

Back 194

C. D is not a real function, and B is the name of the CFC method that is invoked to process gateway requests.

Front 195

Which gateway types can be used to preform asynchronous processing? (select two)

A) JMS
B) CFML
C) Directory Watcher
D) XMPP

Back 195

A and B. CFML preforms local asynchronous processing, and JMS provides access to distributed and asynchronous processing via Java messaging.

Front 196

What is required for Gateway instance definition? (select two)

A) Gateway Type
B) Event Gateway Service
C) SendGatewayMesage() function
D) Configuration File
E) CFC File

Back 196

A and E. Configuration file (D) is optional, B and C are incorrect.

Front 197

Which verity features are inherent in a simple query expression? (select three)

A) stem operator
B) many modifier
C) near operator
D) Wildcards

Back 197

A, B and C. The near operator is available only in explicit search expressions.

Front 198

Which tag is used to optimize a Verity collection?

A) <cfcollection>
B) <cfindex>
C) <cfoptimize>
D) <cffile>

Back 198

A and B. <cfcollection with the action="optimize" attribute is the preferred method of optimization. However, <cfindex> with the action="optimize" attribute is the old, deprecated method and is still backward-compatible.

Front 199

Which variable scopes require the scope prefix when referencing the variable name?

Back 199

Attributes, Caller (in the custom tag page), ThisTag, Request, cffile (following a cffile invocation), Session, Application, Server, Flash (A ColdFusion page or ColdFusion component called by a Flash client), this.

Front 200

The <cfimport> tag must be on the CFML page that uses the imported tag(s), you cannot put the <cfimport> tag in the Application.cfm page, if that's not where you are using the imported tag(s).

A) TRUE
B) FALSE

Back 200

A.
