According to you, what's the best approach to tackle webservices. I mean, what do you think the amount of experience should be and in which particular subjects?
Cheers,

The time it takes to prepare for the exam varies from person to person, based on their familiarity with Web Services.
Having prior experience is always a plus, however it is possible to clear this exam with proper study of all the exam objectives. One should try to avoid attempting the exam if he is not confident with all the exam objectives.
Here are the exam objectives: XML Web Service Standards SOAP 1.1 Web Service Standards Describing and Publishing (WSDL and UDDI) JAX-RPC SOAP and XML Processing APIs (JAXP, JAXB, and SAAJ) JAXR J2EE Web Services Security Developing Web Services General Design and Architecture Endpoint Design and Architecture
Personally webservices fall in the mid-term planning. Before that ICED is the first mayor thing to be tackled. My impression is that ICED might give me a good core knowledge.
In my opinion SCDJWS and ICED(IBM Certified Enterprise Developer) are two different things. To gain sound knowledge of Web Services, SCDJWS is the way to go.

Of course, Surasak... Have a look at that thread, in which Val is talking about the way to pass the SCDJWS exam even for newbies... I do believe that Val's words will encourage those who are new to web services technology to tackle for the exam...
Sorry, I meant ICED as core knowledge to tackle webservices afterwards.
In addition to ICED, you might consider ICSD (WS) as another alternative. SCDJWS test on core concepts, while IBM 288 tests on both core concepts and WSAD usage.
