Hello,

I consider to start learning for SCWCD, but I think, that it would be better to try the new exam OCE JSP & Servlet Java EE 6 Programmer - it will be probably released soon. Does anybody here tried the beta version of this exam? How does it differ from the older, SCWCD exam? I read somewhere, that there is a newer Servlet and JSP API in this new exam. Does it differ much from the older exam? I searched for some books on Amazon and have not found anything for the new exam. Do you think, that learning from some book for SCWCD 5 is sufficient to pass the new exam?

Any suggestions are welcomed,
Rene

I am currently aiming for the new JSP & Servlet's exam as well. I'm preparing by reading K&B Head First book for JEE 5 and after it (3/4 already read) I will look at the new JEE 6 documentation which you can download from Oracle or JCP pages.

I think that this combination of knowledge should be quite sufficient :-) I am also waiting for the new mock exams from Enthuware.

Servlet 3.0 specification will be the best book for preparation for the new JEE6 exam + JSP 2.2 spec + EL 2.2 spec.

You can download PDFs from this page.

Mikalai, thank you for a suggestion. Do you think, that the Servlet 3.0 specification differs much from the older specification (which is on SCWCD 5 exam)?

Pedro, thank you for a suggestion. This is roughly what I thought I will do.

Yes, Servlet 3.0 differs from Servlet 2.3 specification as much as EJB 2.1 differs from EJB 3.0 (EJB 3.1):

* Now servlets supports JavaSE5 annotations
* web.xml is optional - servlet names and mappings defined via annotations attributes
* web fragments - web.xml can be splitted
* content can be served from JAR files inside WEB-INF - third-party frameworks can be added quickly
* programmatically add/remove servlets from servlet context
* many more

Best regards,
MZ

It depends on what you need for your daily job or where your interest goes to.

For SCWCD5 the path is simpler as the exam has been around for some time. Study HFSJ, do the mock exams of Enthuware and you are good to go.
For SCWCD6 you have to read all the specs (and JEE 6 documentation of Oracle) as there is no book, and you don't have so many mock exams yet.

Regards,
Frits
