Need Info on some objectives

I am looking for books/references to study on the following objectives .I have visited the SCEAlinks & FAQ but i dont find any comprehensive reference material which covers the following objectives -

Explain how JCA and JMS are used to integrate distinct software components as part of an overall Java EE application.

Explain how the Java EE platform enables service oriented architecture (SOA) -based applications.

Please advice.

Additionally, on the aspect of security objective in the exam..which one would be more useful 'Core Security Patterns' or 'Java Security' (Scott Oaks)..

looking forward to pointers from fellow ranchers.

thanks for your help

Any help out here from people who have already qualified the exam?

Refer this and for SOA you can refer JEE5 tutorial i think

Thanks for informing me about the section on MZ's guide...

but i dont see a section of SOA in the J2EE tute...could you cross confirm please?

URL try this for web services. I will try to find something for SOA, If i find i will share the same.

Thanks Deepak.

I have come across the article earlier, it is indeed a good place to start with JAX WS but with a programming perspective.

On the SOA front, there is ample stuff around pertaining to patterns, governance, phiolosophy - but my question here is regarding the scope of SOA in the exam..

What is the exam looking for? The objective seems to be slightly vague and open ended..the lack of a SCEA 5 study guide..compounds to the problem..

Thats why i was looking for answers from the test takers..
