Need help todo OCPJWSD 6 certification

Hi All,

I am planning for “OCPJWSD 6” certification. After doing a startup research I found the following books from various sources.

• J2EE Web Services: XML SOAP WSDL UDDI WS-I JAX-RPC JAXR SAAJ JAXP by Richard Monson-Haefel.
• Java Web Services: Up and Running by By Martin Kalin.

Please let me know which book is most preferred for the OCPJWSD 6 certification among this two.

Suggest me if you know any other good books for OCPJWSD 6 certification. Thanks in advance

Bhanu;
I would stay away from "J2EE Web Services: XML SOAP WSDL UDDI WS-I JAX-RPC JAXR SAAJ JAXP" because it sounds like it is based on the old jax-rpc standard.

Starting with JEE 5, jax-rpc was replaced witth jax-ws and jaxb.

Java Web Services: Up and Running by By Martin Kalin is much more useful for OCPJWSD 6 certification. I have that book and I really like it.
Also, please get "SOA Using Java Web Services" by Mark Hansen, which I also have and like that one even better.

Bob,

I appreciate your inputs. Thanks a lot

Bhanu,

I strongly suggest you NOT to skip completely RMH book ("J2EE Web Services: XML SOAP WSDL UDDI WS-I JAX-RPC JAXR SAAJ JAXP")

Yes, JAX-RPC, UDDI and JAXR are now not tested on the exam, but the book is still quite useful for WSD exam.

The book covers SOAP, XML, XSD, WS-I BP, WSDL, JAXP - all these topics needed for the successfull exam passing.

Best regards,
MZ

Mikalai Zaikin,

Thanks for the suggestion. As suggested by you and Bob I will go through RMH and “Java Web Services: Up and Running” books and I will keep "SOA Using Java Web Services" for further reference.

Thanks once again to Bob and MZ.
