Oracle materials for the Web Services exam

[kris bako]

Hello all,

there is obviously the rather expensive 5 day course in the 2000$ range.

But they also offer a Self Study CD <Creating Web Services Using Java Technology, Java EE 5>
for about 500 Euro.

Anyone used this CD as part of their study material for the Web Services exam and would like to share a
few words about as to what extend it is geared towards the Web Services exam requirements ?
Or in general, if it is a useful learning resource for designing Web Services ?

I have so far Ivan's book (great summary) and Java Sun's <Designing Web Services with J2EE 1.4 Platform>.

.many thanks
