To echo Kapil Munjal, yes, you can take SCBCD before or after SCWCD - they're not sequential exams. SCBCD deals with EJBs and the business portion of Java2 EE, while SCWCD tackles
servlets and JSPs, the presentation tier. The exams are independent of each other, though they're both
J2EE, and the only exam Sun ever requires on the
Java side as a prereq is SCJP.
As for difficulty, I haven't attempted the SCBCD exam since the beta. However, it seemed on par difficulty-wise with the SCWCD.
