Greatttt...

Can you please guide us about the exam preparation strategy. What are the recommended books, tutorials? And which IDE will be best for practise? And also which server to use?

Thanks a lot,

Thanks for sharing this information Evelyn
But can you please verify the links mentioned, since I did not found anything on the Prometric home page and the link http://www.prometric.com/Sun/default.htm. is a page not found on their site.

This is great.
just what I was looking forward to.
Looking at the confirmed objectives, it looks like its going to be the toughest certification I am going to undertake so far. The objectives are massive and having already done the old scdjws 1.4 exam, I know first hand its not going to be very easy. Besides its a beta exam which will go on for about 4 hours with around 160 questions to answer, so its going to be really tough to crack. Also, I am little disappointed that UDDI and JAXR still figure in the exam objectives. But I am really glad that its out, so that I can learn the new technologies with a lot of purpose. For me taking on and clearing a certification for which there is no study guide is a huge high. Studying using a study guide or a simulator just belies the purpose as far as I am concerned. People should ideally go through the specs and the various books to really learn the objectives properly.

Hi Guys,

What are the correct versions of the specifications to use for this exam. And Which one to use Glassfish or Metro?

Amit,

I think the link meant by Evelyn is Prometric (without a period)

Evelyn,

That is a good news. I could not locate 311-230 in the Prometric site http://www.prometric.com I guess Prometric have not updated it yet. Hope Prometric would be updating this exam to their list soon.

Beta results typically come out six to eight weeks after the end of the exam period, so I'd assume that you can expect the regular exam out in January 2009.
+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
It seems that this is only a partial update - using JAX-WS instead of JAX-RPC, and newer versions of some of the APIs. It still contains UDDI/JAXR -which has little relevance in practice-, and almost nothing about REST. I'd have expected something about JAX-RS, but no. Strange.

Kingsly, it is likely that this option will only appear on or a little before the registration dates.

Yes Paul. I understand and agree with you. Prometric registration might open sometime around the registration dates. Thanks for spending some of your time.

Does any one know if you need to have anything from your past SCJP certification (some kind of number, prometric id etc.) while registering for the exam on Prometric website? Or does Prometric have all the data and based on your information it automatically finds out that you satisfy the necessary prerequisites?

My suspicion is that it's in large part based on past certification, since AFAIK, SCJP is only offered through Prometric. (Does VUE still offer it, if they ever did?) There's nothing that you need to tell them to confirm that you've passed the exam.

Hi,

Can anyone share the good preparation material. I started reading the specs, but when i started to read JAX-WS specs, its too boring. Sun's WS tutorial has also not enough information. I search JAX-WS on google, but most of the articles are related to NetBeans and could not find a good article.

Can someone please share some good stuff?

Thanks,

Beta Dates: October 31st, 2008 thru November 21st, 2008



Is my assumption correct that these dates are inclusive? In other words, one can register to take the exam ON Nov 21, 2008 and still be counted.

Edit: corrected typo

That is correct - if you pass this exam (which is determined, after the period's closed, by scoring a random selection of questions from your exam that would correspond by topic to the distributions on the real exam), you get a certificate and card the same as if you'd passed the live exam.

Beta scores are not decided until six to eight weeks after all the beta exams have been taken - Sun needs time to go over them, check if questions need to be thrown out, and decide what the passing threshold should be.

If you're done for current SCDJWS preparation, go for it.

I think employers don't know the different between SCDJWS and SCDJWS 5.0.
