JWS or BCD ?

Hi,

I have recently cleared SCWCD and now look to these two exams ..SCBCD and SCJWS .

Which one should I aim for first ?
At the first look i find JWS so very confusing, i dont understand anything here. But JWS is new and promising.
On the other hand BCD is used more and will be easy to learn, but wont have that much of benefit.

Could you please guide me on this ?


SCJP 1.2, SCWCD 1.4.<br />What goes around comes around ... with ver 1.1

one way of taking decision can be "which all technologies are getting used in your current project as of now" or else if you don't want to use that,it depends what do you want to learn and what's the purpose you are solving by aiming for certification like few ppl just give to learn new technology,other give to get better understanding of technology...and many more reasons..

I will say it will be totally your call which way you want to move ahead in your career.

Let me know if you are looking for something specific to these certifications.


Regards,
James

Thanks for providing me more parameters i can consider this from.
I do not have experience in either.

I wish to know if JWS will be something a person totally ignorant about XML able to handle ? whatever i see and read about JWS so far just got me scred.
I look at it from the industry perspective. JWS is still new and can be good.
Does JWS work closer with WCD or is it BCD ? I mean which of these will be a smaller transition from WCD. Do you personally think that JWS is worth the study. It being new kinds of pulls me, but not being able to understand much scares me.

WCD is JSP/Servlets and JWS is future in my opinion,as everything will eb service based in future.
