I'm fairly sure I've not yet seen a book tailored specifically for studying for this exam (though someone ought to make one ). From what I've seen, IBM recommends two books from Wrox and one from O'Reilly.

I found XML how to program by Deitel and Deitel useful for the certification but since no book is complete, it is better to refer other books like 'Java & XML' by O'Reilly and XML BIBLE too.
Are the combined sample chapters listed in the links page sufficient, or should one actually go out and get 1 or more books? It seems that many books these days are largely API or divergent topics to pad the number of pages. Josh
