Congrats Aaron!!
Did u get questions on EJB design patterns?
bye.
Sachin
Hi! Mohit,
Is J2EE design patterns available in the book prescribed by u (Enterprise Java Bean by Richard Monsoon Haefel)?
regards,
Sachin
Hi! Andrei,
Congrats!
I appeared for IBM 158 and failed by 1 question. I have a few doubts.
I am not very confident on WAS and WSAD topics. From where shud I read them?
Also Section - 3, Develop clients that access the enterprise components is a major concern. Plz suggest.
I would be grateful if u post ur score breakup.
bye.
Sachin
Hi! Mohit,
Congrats!! This is a very good score. But I think the exam also consists of JSP and Servlets apart from EJB. Is this book(Enterprise Java Bean by Richard Monsoon Haefel) available in India?
bye.
Sachin
Thanks All!!
I invite more information on this exam.

Hi! Acton,
I am finding it pretty hard to prepare for WAS and WSAD topics. Plz advice on these topics. Other concern is 'Develop Clients that access the enterprise components'. Could u post ur score breakup?
bye.
Sachin
Hi! Daniel,
Would u advice me how and from where I shud study for WAS and WSAD specific topics? One topic which is a major concern is 'Develop clients that access the enterprise components'. Seek Some advice on this.
thanx in advance.
Sachin
Hi! All,
What are the sources for preparation of Weblogic 7.0 certification?
thanx in advance.
Sachin
Hi! All,
Where is this Book for SCEA available? I am in India. Any links.
bye
Sachin
Congrats!! Daniel,
You have passed the test with a very good score. Most people pass in sixties. I plan to take this test very soon.
2 topics which I am very much concerned abt are
a) Design and Build reusable enterprise components.
b) Develop the clients which that access the enterprise components.
I have read EJB specs 2.0 but the kind of questions they ask look pretty confusing.
Suggestions.
bye.
