J2EE 1.4

[Jeff Schuler]

I take it I should be using J2EE 1.4 when preparing for this exam. Will J2EE 1.5 be fine as well when studying for this exam? Why does the Head First book tell me to install J2SE 1.4? Sorry about the newbie question but I'm unfamiliar to 'EE'.

Is it ok to both have JSEE 1.4 and J2SE 6 installed on the same Windows machine? I presumed I will just need to setup the classpath to point to the J2EE 1.4 version when preparing for this exam.

If you set everything to use servlets 2.4 and JSP 2.0, then it will be fine.
However, you should stick to 1.4 if possible.

Why does the Head First book tell me to install J2SE 1.4?

You need J2SE 1.4 to compile your servlets. Your web container will also need it.

When studying for SCWCD, you should not need the complete J2EE, because you'll be studying only the web part of J2EE.
Only J2SE and a web container will do. For example : J2SE1.4 and Tomcat 5.5.x
