I haved passed the exam this morning (76%). I used SCWCD Exam Study Kit book. It is a very good book. Don't try to read an entire chapter at once ... it is a lot of information. Also, you have to do a lot of memorization on your own. I have made a mistake ... I did not sit down and memorize anything. For example you should memorize all of the tags those are used in deployment descriptor (web.xml) and TLD files --- spelling and case-sensitive. Not only memorize them, also know when to use them. :-) I got a lot of questions on Listerner ... HttpSessionAttributeListener, HttpSessionBindingListener, ServletContextListener, and on and on ... is there a HTTPSessionLister? Good luck on your exam! Amor, , SCJP, SCWCD
