Which book is the best for preparation?

I will start to prepare the SCWCD very soon. I found that many people who are preparation for this exam study more than one book. If I want to buy 1 book only, which book is the best to cover all the content of the exam? If 1 book is not enough for the preparation, then which 2 books are the best for the preparation?

The folloing books are important and necessary
1.Core Servlet and JSP
2.Servlet Programming by Jason Hunter --O'riely publication
3. JSP Specifation from sun
4.Servlet Specification fom sun

More Servlets, the Sequel to Core Servlets, covers the latest versions of jsp/servlets. I think you should go for More Servlets and Java Server Pages. It refers to Core Servlets at some places, which is available online for free.

More Servlets and Java Server Pages
Seconded.

I didn't get More Servlets & JSP but from my experience of Core Servlets & JSP i think the newer one (More) should be chosen if some one goes 4 one book....

Remember no one book is complete. Evenif you read a book it is highly recommended that you go through Servlet and JSP specifications and notes (found on scwcd links page).
All the best

Chintan - well said and a very good point.

More Servlets & JSP covers the 2.3 and 1.2 apps to a certain extent. But for the exam you definitely need more. Esp. it doesn't cover the patterns well MVC maybe (I haven't read these yet).
If you already own Core Servlets & JSP, personally I would suggest that you read the Specs and then follow the examples at http://www.moreservlets.com for the source code etc...and ofcourse it would be nice of you to send a Thank you note to the author.
