There are a couple of ways. SES is coming out with a new course, SL-425, Architecture using J2EE. This course will be available in August. Until then we have a list of suggested readings to help you prepare. (This list will be available
week of 5/22.)
hmmm. I do not see the list. Will you write them?

Sun just sent me the "start" of the reading list for the Java Enterprise Architect certification. Here it is:
Java 2 Network Security Pistoia,Reller,Gupta,Nagnur,Ramani
Design Patterns and Contracts Jezequel,Train,Mingins
Design Patterns GoF
Java Enterprise in a Nutshell Flanagan, et. al.
UML Distilled Fowler
Enterprise Java Beans Monson-Haefel
I have the last four but am not familiar with the first two. Anyone have opinions on these books?

Java Network Security has nearly everything for you to pass the Security part of the SCEA exam.
The Design Patterns and Contracts uses Eiffel instead of Java for code demonstration. You need at least some knowledge of Eiffel to understand it. It does use UML for all the GOF diagram. It is good. The code includes a lot of Design By Contract (pre- and post-conditions). So I expect the SCEA exam asks questions on Design By Contract. It also includes two chapters of case studies using Design Patterns for building Software Configuration Management and User Interface. The case studies may give you some insight on how the SCEA exam wants you to apply Design Patterns in the real world.
