, QUESTION 1: Mendix association owner vs reference set?
A) Owner both objects need save to store association, reference set one side, default owner is
reference
B) No difference
C) Only owner
D) Only reference
CORRECT ANSWER: A) Owner both objects need save to store association, reference
set one side, default owner is reference
RATIONALE: Associations: default reference owner stored in child reference. When owner both need
commit to persist association, reference set only owner needs commit. Many-many needs both. Best
practice use reference set for performance, owner only when needed. Delete behavior.
QUESTION 2: Microflow vs nanoflow when to use?
A) Microflow server logic database access, nanoflow client offline UI logic no database direct runs in
browser
B) Same
C) Only microflow
D) Only nanoflow
CORRECT ANSWER: A) Microflow server logic database access, nanoflow client offline
UI logic no database direct runs in browser
RATIONALE: Microflow server-side logic access database commit retrieve, cannot run offline. Nanoflow
client-side runs in browser device offline capable UI logic, cannot commit directly needs microflow. Use
microflow for DB, nanoflow for UI responsiveness offline. Toolbox activities.
QUESTION 3: XPath constraint vs entity access?
A) XPath limits data retrieved in specific action, entity access module role level security enforced all
B) Same
C) Only XPath
D) Only entity access
CORRECT ANSWER: A) XPath limits data retrieved in specific action, entity access
module role level security enforced all
RATIONALE: Security: Module roles user roles entity access defines create read write delete rights XPath
constraints apply to role e.g., [Department='Sales'] limits rows. XPath constraint in retrieve activity additional
filter specific action. Always define entity access, use XPath for row level security.
QUESTION 4: REST consume vs publish in Mendix?
A) Consume import JSON structure call REST service GET POST, publish expose microflow as REST
with export mapping
B) No difference
C) Only consume
D) Only publish
CORRECT ANSWER: A) Consume import JSON structure call REST service GET POST,
publish expose microflow as REST with export mapping
Mendix Advanced Developer Certification 2026/2027 Comprehensive 150 Questions Page 3
, RATIONALE: Integration: Consume REST import JSON structure map to entities call REST activity GET
POST PUT DELETE with import/export mapping. Publish REST create published REST service expose
microflow with export mapping JSON. Authentication Basic OAuth. Error handling.
QUESTION 5: Retrieve via association vs from database performance?
A) Via association uses already loaded object memory fast no query, from database executes query
slower
B) Same performance
C) Only database fast
D) No difference
CORRECT ANSWER: A) Via association uses already loaded object memory fast no
query, from database executes query slower
RATIONALE: Performance best practice: retrieve via association uses object already in memory fast no DB
query, from database executes SQL query slower. Use association when parent already retrieved, use
database with XPath when need filter. Avoid retrieve all. Indexes. Commit behavior.
QUESTION 6: Mendix Cloud deployment and security?
A) Deploy to Mendix Cloud via Studio Pro environments dev test acc prod, security via company
admin environment access
B) No cloud
C) Only local
D) No security
CORRECT ANSWER: A) Deploy to Mendix Cloud via Studio Pro environments dev test
acc prod, security via company admin environment access
RATIONALE: Deployment: Mendix Cloud free sandbox licensed environments DTAP dev test acceptance
prod. Deploy via Studio Pro create deployment package. Security company admin manages users
environment access, technical contacts. Scaling backup. Monitoring metrics. Java actions custom logic.
QUESTION 7: Mendix association owner vs reference set?
A) Owner both objects need save to store association, reference set one side, default owner is
reference
B) No difference
C) Only owner
D) Only reference
CORRECT ANSWER: A) Owner both objects need save to store association, reference
set one side, default owner is reference
RATIONALE: Associations: default reference owner stored in child reference. When owner both need
