Is there some way to petition Sun on the SCEA to SCEA5 migration path? I called up Sun to talk about this and they told me that they have not yet decided.

I think then that we ought to start lobbying them in the near future. Perhaps see how many SCEAs are interested in having some form of simplified upgrade path. After all, the other exams have it...

For what it's worth, I got an email response from Sun Learning yesterday that "It would be highly unusual for a SCEA 5.0 upgrade exam not to be released. Please be patient. The upgrade exams are typically released shortly after the standard exam is offered. (After the beta phase)"
So, I wouldn't worry so much.

But let us be more pragmatic. You want to be SCEA 5.0 as soon as possible I see. Ok. But are you really ready for it ? The main difference between old and new one has to be in using of a new EJB 3.0 persistence model and other things like AJAX and so on. It completely redesign architecture between layers. There is no more need to create "custom" value objects for instance etc.
I am working on a project with EJB 3.0 almost all the year and I think before going to SCEA 5.0 a responsible professional should upgrade his/her SCBCD to EJB 3.0. That will certainly be my first step, because I am already thoroughly prepared for it. Next step could be SCWCD with AJAX etc.
That is my 2 cents to eager 5.0 architects :-)

Lets hope the upgrade exam is not too lengthy or its going to take a while to prepare.
