The book originally named: HeadFirst SCWCD, however, Kathy and Bert decided to change the name to: HeadFirst Servlets and JSP.
For SCWCD 1.4, I used SCWCD Exam Study Kit (mainly for 1.3) for the Servlets and Filter parts, as well as the elementary JSP parts. It is more than enough!
For the new objectives, like EL, JSTL, Simple Tag and Tag files, I used the book ProJSP, recommended by Kathy.
For the design patterns, I use Core J2EE patterns.
I think, if you just wanna buy a book at this moment for the new exam, SCWCD Exam Study Kit is still a good choice. In addition, you can find some articles at www.onjava.com, which is written by the author of the book: JavaServer Page. Those articles cover EL, JSTL and Simple Tag stuffs.
Also, nearly all required patterns can be found in the BluePrint of SUN's website. Chapter 4-8 of the Core J2EE pattern book.
Hope this help.

Hi Sachya,
It depends on which version you wanna take.
If you take 310-080 SCWCD 1.3, the only book you need is:
SCWCD Exam Study Kit, by Hanumant Deshmukh
It covers all the objectives indepth, and you will pass it with 85% for sure. I only use this book together with JWeb+ to get 89%.
If you take 310-081 SCWCD 1.4, you may need more:
SCWCD Exam Study Kit, by Hanumant Deshmukh
ProJSP, by Simon Brown OR JavaServer Page, by Hans Bergsten
Core J2EE Patterns, by Deepak Alur
Mr. Deshmukh's book covers all the Servlet objectives, together with Chapter 18 for the Filter. You dont need to read other things.
For JSP page, Hans' book covers all new objectives for JSP.
For the design pattern, you only need to refer to those newly added patterns, like Services Locator, etc. You do not need to read the whole book for passing the exam.
Hope this help.
