Thanks much to everyone.

For MZ's quiz you need to send an email to him. He will provide directions to get it. No one is supposed to send apart from him.

good luck,

Prasad
I just passed the exam, So I hope I can answer. No. Detailed knowledge of deployment descriptor is not required. But, high level knowledge is required.

Hi all,

Just now I have cleared this exam. Here is my experience and tips.

1) I got the lowest score in Web services Standards. I think it is becase, the questions are complicated than expected and I did not read enough material on this.
2) Security questions are not at all complex. But you need to understand the basics. MZ's notes should be enough.
3) Lots of questions are from Blue prints. It is a must read.
4) You need to be comfortable with JAXR API and SAAJ API.
5) Overall exam is not that complex, but lot of stuff to read.
6) I got about 5 drag and drop questions and no fill in questions.
7) MZ's notes is a very good resource. Thanks much MZ!
8) I lost 1 or 2 questions on Basic profile. One should read and understand it fully correctly answer all questions.

I don't have previous Web Services experience, but I am working in Java and J2EE environment for about 8 years. With this exam, I have completed all my five planned Sun certifications. ( SCJP, SCWCD, SCBCD, SCDJWS, SCEA ). Most probable next target is PMP certification.

I used MZ's notes, RMH, Blue prints, Whizlabs exams, Sun mock exams, MZ's quiz. All this is, I wanted to make sure that I pass this. Both Whizlabs and sun mock exams are good. Whizlabs final exam, I got 71%. Val is right, it is 10% harder than the actual exam. I got 70-75% in all the three Sun mock exams.

I am very thankful to MZ, and people who passed the exam and provided valuable feedback. I wish all the very best to rest of you willing to take the exam.

Thanks,

Prasad
Congratulations! Great job!

Can you explain your exam experience? Like the complexity of the questions in different areas, how complex are drap and drop questions, questions on security, questions on API etc?

Again, you did a great job!

Here is the question:

Which fault code is sent if a client sends a SOAP message to an RPC-style Web service with an incorrect operation name?

A Sender
B Receiver
C MustUnderstand
D VersionMismatch
E DataEncodingUnknown

The correct answer provided is "A'- Sender.

But the valid faultcodes are - Client, Server, VersionMismatch and MustUnderstand.

How come they provided the answer as "Sender"?
I too confused about it, initially. But, please click on "1" under the Practice exam(s) section.

Hope this helps!

I think the we should remember API for the following.

1) javax.xml.registry
2) javax.xml.registry.infomodel
3) javax.xml.rpc
4) javax.xml.soap
5) javax.xml.rpc.handler

I have seen many API related questions in Whizlabs and MZ's mock exams. I am not sure about the actal exam questions as I am also preparing for it.

Where are the "THREE" practice exams? I bought it for $90 and all I got is ONE practice exam.

Please help me, if there is a way to get rest of the practice exams.

Thanks,

Hi,

How many questions did you get on "Deployment of Web services"? I mean, deployment descriptor questions. And also, how complex they are? I am finding very difficult to remeber the stuff in web.xml / webservices.xml / mapping.xml and wsdl.xml.

Please reply.

Thanks,
