First congrats Raj to win SCWCD@Whiz this week along with me, Madhav and Poonam. I'll suggest the tutorial with it as a good guide 4 us....

Abt the my 4 books -----
(1) I started with CallAway's book "INSIDE SERVLETS" as i am a novice in this area. I suggest this book as a good starter.
(2) I m also using "Developing Java Servlets" but suggest it only to those who wanna use JAVA WEB SERVER and/or JRUN. I think we all should at least try a while JAVA WEB SERVER which is entirely developed by JAVA from SUN. But i don't suggest this book to those who r in a little hurry or want to pass quickly. This book is also intended 4 beginners.
(3) I stringly suggest all SCWCD-aspirants to go thru "JAVA SERVLET PROGRAMMING" by JASON HUNTER from O'Reilly. It's classic and should not be skipped.....as far as i know its rea as text book in many universities. I specially recommend to use the second edition not the first one as the 1st edition contains bacldated specs....
(4)"Professional JSP" by Wrox is the last one in my list. I think we should go thru all the exam specific related chapters of this book and should also read at last.....

But never to forget abt 4 other things -----
(i) Java Servlets & JSP specifications from SUN
(ii) SUN'S J2EE TUTORIAL on DESIGN PATTERN
(iii) Hands on coding
(iv) All the few mocks avalbl now.
I should not conclude without quoting a book from Wrox "PROFESSIONAL JAVA SERVER PROGRAMMING VOLUME I & II". This is the book i have targetted to complete after finishing my SCWCD exam and during my real-life project works....It almost covers all the necessary topics and will make u a JAVA GURU if u can understand all the topics here....

Hope u'll correct me if my choices have some BUGs to accept them as a guideleine.....
