Before everyone sends me hate mail. I just want to make sure everyone makes an educated decision. It is usually the case that people become certified on the current or new standard.
J2EE 1.3, EJB 2.1 , (CX-310-090) : is an older version. Most new J2EE Servers are building on the J2EE 5 standard.
From a user J2EE 5, is a big improvement.
For all the people using the Head First Book or any book built on the J2EE 1.3 platform, You may consider looking for resources for the:
Sun Certified Business Component Developer for the
Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (CX-310-091) , based on the J2EE 5, EJB 3.0 standard.
I am sure, the people at Head First and the others are upgrading thier books. It is the nature of our industry to continually upgrade.
I just want everyone to be well informed.
