Architecting Enterprise Solutions is written by Paul Dyson and Andy Longshaw. I picked it up at Borders, but you can probably get it at any store that has a good line of computer books. It's really a great book that helps with part 1 and should help with part 2.
The J2EE spec really should be studied too. I think that the majority of questions are answered directly in the J2EE spec.
I was surprised at some of the questions on the
test. I think the key with this test is simply being a voracious reader. The questions just go over so much material. If you haven't taken the SCBCD exam, I would recommend that too. (Baby Steps
) I must emphasize again...don't spend any time reading about any design patterns other than GOF -- it's just a waste of time (at least for the 1st part, obviously for the 2nd part it will be essential).
Another thing is to become familiar with the enterprise products that are out there today. What is TIBCO, MQSeries, AS/400, CICS, VT/100? If you read enough in all of these books you will come across these things. It's important to know what they are.
