Hi Ajay,
So the mock exam from Chinatag. It seems to be priced at $49.99. I tried the trial demo, about 10 questions I think it was. There were answers but no explanations at all (in the trial version). Also, the trial version was simply a set of typed questions, followed by the choices and the answer.
Q5 asks about
SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2 and using REST in a web service for an SOA architecture. It asks which technology should you use? and it gave 4 specs, JAXP, JAXB, JAX-WS and JAX-RPC. The answer was JAX-WS. Well, I have the JAX-WS spec on my machine and it doesn't mention REST at all. Not to mention you can't effectively integrate a REST web service into an SOA architecture (because there is no way to commonly identify the REST services interface. The latest JAX-RS spec, still under development, should help address this). I consider this an incorrect answer, if it was a single choice question.
Considering I'm supposed to pay $49.99, I want no mistakes at all in my mock exam, and I'd expect an explanation for the answer they think is correct. I don't usually recommend Sun products, but for $5 more, you can get the official mock exam from Sun themselves, as an online ePractice exam, for $55.
