SCBCD 5.0 Tips

It's for those who already have knowledge of EJB 2.0 or 2.1

Read first..... Enterprise Java Beans by Oreilly publications. Too good book.

Then read sun's specifications.. Yes I mean it.. How much time it would take.. total you'll have to read around 1000 pages but its worth.

I tell you.... you will get the same code with some words shuffled here and there.. from the specs in your exam. Read it carefully. Try to understand.

But don't read EJB QL from specs. I don't like the way it's explained. Instead go for Oreilly's book.

Then again make one repetition of Enterprise Java Beans by Oreilly... publications.
And finally one more times the specs.

finally Done....

Then start solving JavaBeat SCBCD 5.0 mocks.... You'll score well in the mock exams I'm sure..

What I've experienced in the SCBCD is you'll get some design based questions on JPA. They will ask you to design certain things.. and what's going to be your approach, or what you'll do in this etc.


Since JPA is new.. I would recommend Enterprise Java Beans by Oreilly... publications. You'll get code samples, descriptors for each annotations.. that's what you need.

And JNDI ENC, Transactions, Exceptions, it's really good in Specs as well as in the same book.

See on the day of exam just make a revision of those code samples from Enterprise Java Beans by Oreilly... publications.

If you do this much you are done..

Guaranteed to get the certification.

And for those who don't know EJBs and want to start preparing for it.. I would recommend read Head First EJB (The best book on EJB)
