To Ravi:
I am currently using Weblogic in my projects. I have taken
SCJP and 486(OOAD) AND 483(Enterprise Connectibity) last year , and I feel this exam 158 is more difficult than 483.
I spent one month to prepare this exam (3 weekends and at night) :
1) ejb-2_0-spec - this book is valuable in EJBs and transation section, and is the base of other section; I spend more than half time to read this book
2) servlet-2_3-spec - this book is valuable in web section
3) jsp-1_2-spec - this book is valuable in web section
4) sg246144-EJB development with Visual Age for
JAVA - this book is valuable in WSAD section
5) sg246176-WebSphere hand book 15,16,18,19,21 - this book is valuable in WAS section
6) I didn't try any
test Exam.
Good luck !
