What is the difference between a System Architect/Architecture and Application Architect/Architecture?
Does system architecture mean physical architecture(deployment diagram)?

Thanks.

Santhosh,
Excellent answer. Thanks.

I couldn't wake up the following topic. It's worth reading!

I could do this technically. But, I don't think it's a good design choice to make home business method heavy-weight/complex. I think Fast Lane Reader is simple and a better choice to read.
Any thoughts?

Peer, Thanks a lot for your expert suggestion.
Thank you, Maris.

Peer,
I think you are suggesting me to get a list of credit cards from "Home Business Methods". Assume that CreditCard has a reference to Address object (billing). I think it is not a good idea to get list of credit cards thru home business method. Please share your thoughts.

Thanks.

I use 'Fast Lane Reader'(Stateless Session + DAO) to read a list of CreditCards(for example, assume i've 100's of cards). I go thru the list of credit cards and select one to modify. To modify, I use CMP Enity Bean. Basically, I call the finder method & modify creditcard.

(This is not related to assignment).

Any, expert comment on this approach..?

Thanks.

Hi,
I agree with Ajit that completing SCEA does NOT make one architect.
I think the certification will loose its value, If people discuss the solution so openly. If you really want your certifcation (SCEA) to pay back, then retain the value of it by not discussing the assignment.
We should make use of this forum in good spirit - to learn and share experience in architecture space.
