I just wanted to thank people on this forum, for putting together some invaluable information... I am just going to repeat what's already out there.....
Following is the list of books that I used: EJB related: (1) Enterprise JavaBeans (3rd Edition) :=> Richard Monson (a 'very very' good book) (2) Mastering EJB (1st Edition) :=> Ed Roman (didn't get chance to read the second edition) Design Patterns: (3) Design Patterns :=> Erich Gamma, et al (4) Core J2EE Patterns :=> Deepak Alur, et al Messaging: (5) Java Message Service :=> Richard Monson UML: (6) UML Distilled :=> Martin Fowler Security: (7) Java 2 Network Security :=> Marco Pistoia, et al. Papers or Additional Study Material: (8) on Protocols (e.g. JRMP, IIOP, HTTPS, HTTP etc). (9) on Legacy systems and EJB. (10) on service level requirements (like scalability, performance, etc.. ) (11) on Microsoft DNA, COM+ and their comparison with J2EE and EJB.. You DO NOT need all the above books and study material to pass the exam, but if someone is preparing for the exam then the purpose should be complete understanding rather than just passing the exam!!!... my 2 cents :-)). One additional note, there were quite a few (~20)senario type questions they were long...
