Thanks Karin. That was really helpful.
Thanks for the info guys. I too am trying to find the best book to use for this test. But before I take the test, I was wondering if it is wise to buy a book to learn about what will be tested since I do not know much about the topics. If I should learn more about the topics, does anyone recommend any books out there to learn about the information?
I would also like to learn more about JBoss. I recently passed the Java Certification 1.4 test and am looking at expanding my knowledge. I do not have too much knowledge regarding J2EE specification but would like to learn more and more about it. Please let me know how I can contribute and learn.

I'm sorry but what is Tomcat?

...and thanks Dan. Your mocks scared me into studying harder and it paid off.

Not as high as a score as I would have liked but at least I passed. I think I may have thought too hard on some questions and ended up changing them when I shouldn't have.
I would like to take the SCWCD test next but I do not have much experience with servlets or JSP. I have some ASP experience though.
Any help regarding what book I should buy or where I should look to get me some experience with the material that will be tested would be very helpful. Also thanks to those that have answered my questions on this board and to Kathy and Bert for a great book!

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on getting a Java programming position. I recently passed the Java 2 Certification test and would like to program Java professionally. The thing that is holding me back from applying to programming jobs is that I haven't done it in a work setting. I got my degree in Applied Math with Computer Science at UC Berkeley but have been working in tech support the past year and a half.
Is there any advice from professionals out there can help me land a job as a Java programmer? Are there things that I should be doing now to make myself more marketable? I have never even interviewed for a programming job so I really do not know what to expect. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I was just wondering if the method indexOf will be on the test. I could not find any reference to it in the Java 2 book by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates, but can find it in multiple mock exams. Not a problem if it is on the test, seems pretty easy to learn. I was just wondering why it didn't show up in the book and if I should waste my time studying it.
Hey thanks for clearing that up you guys. It makes sense now that you guys have explained it. Still don't know why I got that error though. I copied and pasted the code that I ran onto the page so...I dunno.
We are given this:

I thought the answer was going to be that the compiler was going to complain about a Cloneable not being able to be converted to an int. I checked the answer and it said it would run fine. I ran this piece of code myself and sure enough, I got this message:
Cannot convert 'Cloneable' to 'int'
Can someone shed some light on this matter? Again, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
great. thanks you guys. are these the types of questions that we will be asked on the exam?
Hi,
I have been working on Dan's Topic Study on primitive conversions and I am a bit confused and was wondering if anyone can explain this to me:
Given:
int i1 = (Integer.MAX_VALUE + 2);
int i2 = (Integer.MIN_VALUE + 1);
Test: (i1 == i2)
Above evaluates to true. I am having a hard time understanding the answer to that. I know that it is right because I ran the code in the question myself and it does evaluate to true.
Also :
Given:
byte b1 = (byte)(2 * Byte.MAX_VALUE);
Then,
b1 == -2
Why is that?
Are these the types of questions we can see on the test?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi,
I was wondering if we needed to know the order of precedence of operators. If we do, to what extent? Thanks for any help on this matter.
Wow. Great site. I will definitely look at this testing site. Thanks for replying.
