For each different Java EE certification,
you need different books
a) for learning
b) for preparation of the
test.
As you know, you must be OCPJP to pass any Java EE certifcation.
I am just trained do do OCEJWCD 6 certification,
1)
we use for test preparation ( Java EE 6 )
Charles Lyons "OCEJWCD Study Companion: Certified Expert Java EE 6 Web Component Developer (Oracle Exam 1Z0-899)", 2012.
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/0955160340/hemmerling-21
, the alternative is
Esteban Herrera "Java Practice Questions: Oracle Certified Expert, Java EE 6 Web Component Developer",
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/1499260253/hemmerling-21
All other known preparation books don´t cover Java EE6, but EE5 or EE4
2)
we got 2 mockup exams resources by the training institute,
"1z0-899 - Java EE 6 Web Component Developer Certified Expert Exam"
JWeb+ V6 for Oracle Certified Expert - Web Component (JSP/Servlet) Developer 6. 9 Mock Exams - 650+ Questions - NO FLUFF*"
I can´t post the URLs or company names,
if I do I get the error message "Sorry, your post contained a reference to a company or website that publishes real test questions - a practice we do not approve of here at JavaRanch. We have banned all discussion of the websites which do this, because even the knowledge of the names of such websites seems to encourage others to use the website to cheat. If you were attempting to discuss this website for any other reason, we apologize for the inconvenience.
The problem was with the
word: "xxxxxxxx"".
I was suprised about the importance of such mock exams for beeing prepared for the test.... I am not used that from IT education at college.
3)
we use for learning ( a Java EE 5 book )
Bryan Basham, Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates "Head First
Servlets and
JSP: Passing the Sun Certified Web Component Developer Exam",
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596516681/hemmerling-21
it is BOTH a exam training book, but mostly a learning resource.
, we get infos by the lecturer for the extras of Java EE 6 ( e.g. Annotations ).
-
Be warned not to take test preparation books for Java EE5 for Java EE6 certification. For learning, the "Heads First" Java EE5 book is ok. But not for exam preparation
See my resources web page about Java certification,
for OCEJWCD the section
