Today i took the exam after 2 week of preparation and did manage to pass with 87%, didnt had much time as the there is a lot of work pressure. As for my preparation goes i read these materials once a)Enterprise JavaBeans - Richard Monson-Haefel b)Part of EJB Spec c)Mikalai Zaikin's SCBCD Notes Also i had gone through the recent java ranchers question in the past week. Got some tricky questions on the deployment descriptor..else the test was ok, made some silly mistakes... Well thanks a lot ranchers... Cheers, Vijay
