How did it go?

I did put a link just a post above yours and add some information about the exam there :-)

Cheers!

I have some queries regarding the exam. Please help me to get them cleared.

Just confirming: there is no upgrade exam from SCWCD JEE5 to the new OCPJWCD JEE6?

Yeah, it's kinda weird that there is no such upgrade...

Hi Pedro,

I did OCE JEE6 JSP & Servlet exam last week and passed with 96% marks. Actually your tips & mock exam was a great help for me to achieving this amount of marks in the exam. Therefore thank you very much for your help provided in this forum regarding this exam.
Although your mock exam is great, there was a little problem in usability of the that exam, because we have to scroll down to see answers for the questions. Therefore I did a little improvement to the html page in your mock exam and it is attached with this reply.

Thanks & Regards,

Wow, thanks a lot Manjula!

I've already uploaded your version of the test and linked it in the post. I really appreciate it and I'm glad that it helped you in your certification struggle :-)

Congratulations on so superb score! It's really great! :-)

Cheers!

PS. Oh, and I did forget to add that for all you JEE 6 Servlets candidates - you can also check the Black Belt new exams about Servlets 3 Fundamentals and Servlets 3 Advanced.

Pedro,
First of all thanks to all the valuable information you had given here. I am preparing for OCE JEE6 JSP and servlet developer. I have finished reading HFSJ. Since the newer version of the exam uses servlet 3.0 specs I have gone through the spec as well. I have concentrated on the topics that were not covered in HFSJ like programmatic declarations, annotations, asynchronous processing, pluggability and extensions. I have not gone through the specs for JSP, EL, JSTL.

Am I missing something? Do I have to go through the rest of the specs as well??

There are some exam topics which are bothering me as I did not read anything specific to them.

More options for the Model
[ ] Understand the roles of JDBC and JPA
[ ] Understand the many elements that make up the model
[ ] Understand fundamentals of connecting to a database using JDBC or JPA

Asynchronous web applications
[ ] Understand the interactions that are essential to asynchronous web pages
[ ] Understand the role of AJAX-style client side programming

Web application security
[ ] Force the use of encryption between a web application and the client browser
[ ] Understand the role of JAAS in pluggable/extensible authentication for web applications

Can you please guide me??

Hi sorry if I missed it but has anyone supplied a link to the specs we should study for this exam, I have the HF book but obviously need the correct specs. I've found the servlet 3.0 spec here http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/jcp/servlet-3.0-fr-eval-oth-JSpec/ but are there any others I should be looking at?

@Bhanu

I also did not read the full specs for JSP, EL and JSTL but I referred to them when needed.

The model parts of the requirements should be understandable for you if you take a look at the whole Java EE platform. There wasn't any complicated questions about JDBC and JPA - just to know what they are, how they are related and how you can use them should be all you need to know.

Asynchronous web applications - the topics you posted are more related with the overview of the asynchronous processing and reading some materials about AJAX and differences between synchronous and asynchronous processing should be enought (Servlets 3.0 specification also gives you some information about that).

And the security - these topics are just as the model one - you just need to read what a JAAS is (I didn't have any question regarding this topic) and understand how you can use it (also - the Java EE platform tutorial should be enough).

Just remember - that's only my opinion and I can't give you a 100% that this will be enought - it just was enought in my case :-)

@Paul
All links to the Java EE 6 specification related topics can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/tech/index.html

HTH!

Cheers!

I'm so thank you !

For those who are interested in taking the test.. I've passed it recently (just to update my profile) and was preparing it by HF book (too lazy to pay much attention to JEE tutorial, and specifications - only for some obvious topics). I hoped to get about 10-15% of new material and got about 30-50%, so I would recommend to look at the following topics in details:
1) annotations & web fragments (about 12-15 questions used it in someway!),
2) asynchronous functionality (3-4),
3) security (3-4 from new coverage),
4) UnavailableException (about 4! it might not be from new spec but it was new for me),
5) other - questions concerned new listeners like AsyncListener, new methods functionality, webapp structure update concerning new elements, etc. (up to 10).

So the new functionality is really in the test and it's quite a lot of new features though it is not so from first look..

Good luck with your test!

Thanks Vadim to sharing with us... i'm preparing for the exam.

Well, thats an eye opener. This new syllabus is really getting into the test more than expected. Thanks a lot for the update Vadim. That would really help people here to prepare well.

Teja

And Vadim, congrats for clearing the test even after the "big" surprise of higher % of new material questions. You must have prepared hard to get through with it.

Well done...

Teja

Thanks Teja! I was just lucky to pass :-)

The point is - don't be lazy to check the new spec, the stuff is really there.

Hi guys,

Is there any book or study guide about the version 6 of the exam?

Anything I could find (including on CodeRanch scwcd links) is about version 5.

Thanks.
John.

I don't know of any materials related with this exam directly. There are few books about the Java EE 6 platform that scratches the Servlets 3.0 (i.e. this or this), but I don't think they're exam-centric.

I would bet that at this moment, the Servlets 3.0 specification is the best source of knowledge.

Cheers!

Here is another short presentation about new features in Servlet 3.0.

Thanks folks! so much wonderful information at one place. Please note many of the links are dead by now, especially from the oracle site.

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think I have a liberty to edit the original post :-(

Nevertheless, I don't think it was mentioned but I still do host a free mock exam for the OCEJWCD 6 that can be reached here: http://www.exam.piotrnowicki.com

Hope someone will still find it useful :-)
