Hello All,
I have passed SCEA on Java EE 5 (beta) in year 2008 and now I want to take the OCMJEA for Java EE 5 upgrade path.

As per the oracle website I am eligible for this by giving the objective upgrade exam(1Z0-868).

I want to know whether can I take the OCMJEA for Java EE 5 upgrade path. Is it useful?
If yes what are the books/links/materials can I refer to? Is some one has taken this upgrade path?

Also, any help regarding this is appreciated and thanks in advance.

1) Can't afford (No, can't take SCEA)

I have given SCEA Java EE 5 beta exam without any cost by Sun.

Hello all,
I am interested to see the new SOA forum on the javaranch where one can discuss regarding the SOA. Please let me know your thoughts and will request some moderator to immediately start the SOA forum on Java ranch. Currently things related to SOA topic are scatters across various forums like web services, other certifications etc.

Hope every one likes this.

This is what I have received from IBM regarding dropping 664 and coming with 669.

Devendra Dave,
Information re Test 669 (skills measured on the test, training resources, etc.) will only be available on the date in Oct. the certification will be made generally available.

The cost for Test 669 in 2008 will be $150 in developed countries, and $75 in the emerging market countries ... same as Test 664.

As the SOA technology evolves, aligning certifications will become available. Test 664 was made available in late 2006 based on 2006 technology. The certification earned as a result of passing Test 664 will be good indefinitely, but only valid for the down-level SOA technology. Test 669 will be based on 2008 technology.

So Looks like they are dropping 664 and giving 669. But nothing mentioned regarding the objectives etc. Does any one knows what SOA 2008 standards they are talking about?

Hello all,
I was planning to take the IBM Certified SOA Associate exam 664. But from the following link I came to know that it is getting retired.

http://www-03.ibm.com/certify/tests/edu667.shtml


Could you please let me know is it better to take the 664 or

IBM Certified SOA Associate [2008]
Test 669, SOA Fundamentals

which is coming in October 2008.

Please let me know the guidelines links, learning material etc for 664/669

Thanks & Regards

Hi,
I have submitted my assignment today to Sun for the SCEA Beta 5 Part II.

I have used my gmail email address instead of my registered company address. Is there will be something wrong in this. Because my company email address will not allow me to attach the files more than 1 MB.

Hence I have to used the gmail address.

Also do we get any confirmation email regarding assignment submission from SUN.

Thanks & Regards
Devendra Dave

I checked the site nothing is mentioned stating more than on answers is correct or not. Also solution description is contradicting. It says first correct answers are A, C and D but in solution description itself it says that choice C is incorrect. Please check this statement.
"Choice C is incorrect because using Container Managed Persistence will increase the portability of the Enterprise Bean and should be used wherever possible."

Could any one provide me the correct answers for this questions
I may be wrong.

Thanks & Regards
Dave

I think the correct answers are
A and C
