You work as the Enterprise application developer at Domain.com. The Domain.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Domain.com. All servers in the domain run Windows Server 2003. The design of applications forms part of your responsibilities at Domain.com. Domain.com operates as an information bureau for the supply of information to financial institutions such as banks.
You are currently busy implementing a solution for Domain.com that will, when completed, consist of three Microsoft ASP.NET Web applications. These applications will allow the Domain.com customer banks to manage credit-, investment- and current accounts. All three applications are destined to be hosted on a server that is configured with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0.
Included in the Physical design is the following IIS directory structure:
1. Default Web Site (D:\Inet\wwwroot)
2. Credit Portal (D:\FinanceWeb\Credit)
3. Investment Portal (D:\FinanceWeb\Investment)
4. Current Portal (D:\FinanceWeb\Current)
In your solution you are required to display the application on pages. And images need to be reused across all three applications. To this end you need to select the best location to store these images to ensure that it can be used across all three applications.
What should you do?
A.
Use D:\FinanceWeb to store the images.
B.
Use D:\Images to store the images.
C.
Use D:\InetWeb\wwwroot\Images to store the images.
D.
Use D:\FinanceWeb\Images to store the images.
Explanation:
The D:\Inet\wwwroot\Images is the only location amongst the available options that represents a subdirectory of the IIS virtual root directory. This will allow each of the three Web applications the ability to reference the images by means of a URL.
Incorrect answers:
A: D:\FinanceWeb does not correspond to the IIS virtual root directory and as such will not allow the web applications to reference the images using a URL.
B: There is no IIS virtual directory that corresponds to any part of D:\Images and this option will thus not allow the Web applications to reference the images.
D: There is no IIS virtual directory that corresponds to any part of
D:\FinanceWeb\Images and as such this option will now allow the three Web applications to reference the images.
