3.Enterprise Javabeans - Oreilly
Richard Monson-Haefel

5.Jamie Jaworski's Certification Book
6.Java 2 Network security
7.Design Patterns by James Cooper
Also check my psoting earlier this day- there are good suggestions for JMS and legacy connectivity.
Do check the posting by Amanda who has given her feedback of the exam as well as useful resources.

The Java 2 Certification Training Guide by Jaworski (ISBN 1-56205-950-5)covers all three exams. It dedicates 6 chapters(about 137 pages) to the exam. It also comes with a CD with a simulator for the architect exam.
Hope this helps.
