http://www.javaranch.com/scwcdlinks.jsp I completely relied on this link and it didn�t let me down. now I have another certification. thanks to all ranch members.
SCWCD study kit from manning was the book I used and the other one from Wrox publications for brushing up so that I have 2 different views of the exam. actually I had very little time to prepare

(less than a week) but somehow scraped through.
it will be bad on my part if I don�t mention about Ken Zrobok notes (
http://www.javaranch.com/carl/scwcd/SunCertifiedWebComponentDeveloperStudyGuide.pdf) which I used for last minute brush-up. Hats off to his excellent work.
Anyway thanks once again
