Hello,

I just found out that there is a certification regarding JPA:

Did someone take the exam?
What do you think about it?
What books about JPA do you recommend?

Cheers.

Hi there

I've also come across that certification. As for now, I haven't really found any 'official' preparation material.. There is one page I found with an unofficial (apparently) software to prepare for the certification: http://www.epractizelabs.com/certification/sun/oce-jpa-exam-6.html I actually read about it on this board.. So does anybody have experience with that software? Has anybody in this world ever taken that exam at all? ;-)

As for books, this one doesn't look too bad: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1430219564?tag=jranch-20

Well that's just sad..

Anyways, I got that 'Pro JPA' book now and will prepare myself with it for the time being ..

Still, hopefully I find something a little bit more dedicated to the exam instead of general JPA.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
