A travel company is designing an application to allow customers to browse for information on any

flights operating domestically and to place new reservations on any of those flights. The company

makes the following assumptions: significant read volume, in terms of operations the customers

will perform significant overlap, in the search criteria of customers simple processing of each

customer browse/update request What advice can you give this company?

A. use a two-tier architecture (rich client directly accessing the database) because running

copies of the business logic in each client provides significant advantages in terms of

processing time per request

B. use a three-tier architecture (thin client -> application server -> database) because executing

business logic remotely on a central location results in better performance per request

C. use a three-tier architecture (thin client -> application server -> database) because the shared

business server allows them to cache information with high likelihood of cache hits, which

reduces the load on the database

D. use a two-tier architecture (rich client directly accessing the database) because each client

can operate on its own business objects, independently of others, which provides significant

advantages from reduced latency due to synchronization

Question: 30

A travel company decides to re-architect their two-tier application (where each client ran its own

copy of the application against a shared database) and hires you as their lead architect. You

suggest they re-architect their application as a browser-based, three-tier solution: presentation,

business logic, and persistence. You also suggest they deploy each of the three tiers on its own

computer. Why is the three-tier solution more scalable than the two-tier solution?

A. Every client runs its own GUI application. Clients do not compete for resources for

presentation purposes.

B. Clients share the same business logic tier. Client-specific objects can be stored centrally,

optimizing access.

Brokers at a firm currently use a two-tier application to execute stock transactions on behalf of

their customers. Business components within the application enforce a number of complex

business rules that ensure that stock transactions are executed properly. Management has

decided that clients should be able to execute their own transactions to streamline operations.

Management also wants clients to run the same existing two-tier application from their home

computers. They have hired you to advise them on how to proceed to ensure that no illegal stock

transactions are executed once the application is available directly to clients. Which two

recommendations should you give to this brokerage firm? (Choose two.)

A. The code already checks for correct execution so they can deliver the application to clients

"as is."

B. Checks for correctness should be rewritten as database constraints because the application

running on the client might be modified.

C. The application should be re-architected as a three-tier solution. That way, validation checks

can be moved to a server-side business tier, which remains trustworthy.

D. The application should be obfuscated before it is delivered to the client. That way, clients

cannot modify it. Therefore, the validation checks currently implemented will remain

trustworthy.
