Hi All,
As a practicing architect , I deal with different java based server technologies that have become mainstream outside of the normal sun process. Example spring , Struts , velocity etc.
This should be the case for most of us in the real world.
So my question is : how many of you see the value of upgrading -
a) because it makes a difference in financial compensation ?
or
b) Because the technologies covered make sense from a personal growth?
---
My take is -
for item a - really no one cares as long as you are SCEA , they aren't very concern it is the older version
for item b -- well of all the newer technologies JSF is the only one we are adopting widely is my take. EJB 3 isn't taking off , and as for the ORM the open source dominates the field. So again not much value...
Your opinions guys .........???
I think they are just a way to make money by Sun. think about it, if you get on the cert merry-go-round, you need to keep them all up to date. Every year.
The benefit to them is that they can brag "1,000,000 certified professionals!", but in the end, the $150 we spend to write the exam? How much does the testing center take?
I don't think Sun is getting rich of the SCJA cert process.

It isn't one certification process. It is many certification processes, year after year after year. This may not make Sun rich, but is a consistent revenue stream.
