Sun�s Website: �You can choose to use any released version of the J2EE APIs.�

Sun�s official Architect certification website states the following:

APIs relevant to the Assignment

The assignment requires that you have an in-depth understanding of the Java programming language and J2EE APIs. You can choose to use any released version of the J2EE APIs.

Do is it mean that we already may use all Java EE 5 related APIs (i.e. EJB 3.0 and the New Java Persistence API).

Thanks!

I read that the specification of Java EE 5 has been passed by the Java Community process on 1st of May 2006.

So if "Java EE 5" still is considered being "J2EE" ... - better a representative of Sun should answer that.

I suspect that Java EE 5 is okay to use, the basis for my logic being that my SCEA certificate (issued last September, while Java EE 5 was in beta) states that it is for "Java Platform Enterprise Edition Technology", which is how Sun itself describes the latest standard. Plus, this isn't a new thing, but rather a renaming of J2EE to remove the confusion of the '2' in the Java technologies.

(For reference, I used J2EE 1.4, so I'm by no means the best authority. As stated above, an email probably would clear this up.)
