Test 287

[Zhaoyang Meng]

Hi,
I passed the 286 test last week and now I am preparing the 287 test. I have very little experience on EJB development. Does this exam require a lot of EJB dev. experience? and do I need to read all the books that recommended by IBM?
Thanks very much for any advice in advance,
Jane

from my experience with IBM exams you get a fairly good picture about them by looking at the questions of their ICE tool:
Someone has posted them here:

I have passed the previous 158 test. I found it really hard. Two people might find different things difficult, but I would say that this one contains more complex stuff than the WSAD-test.
just my 2 cents.
regards Axel

Thanks so much for the reply.
I am working on the preparation now. I have only the redbooks and the <Enterprise JavaBeans> by Monson-Haefel, but I dont have the other book < Mastering EJB, 2nd Edition>.
