Sun Certified Enterprise Architecture for J2EE Technology Study Guide (Sun Microsystems Press) Yes, this book seems to be quite simple and informative,Just has what you wanted to get certified as an Architecture for J2EE.
Good book...but not that great Its a good book..but is very short....its more like a review of things rather than expanding knowledge..
More of a Review Book than Certification Guide This book was helpful as review, but not overly helpful as a start to finish guide.
Ok for the basics.. This is a good book to show you the basics for the exam. You will need to read the additional reading suggestons to be fully prepared.
Excellent Comprehensive J2EE Review, and More! I primarily purchased this book for Review for SCEA exam.
It provides a complete review of Architecture, J2EE Overview, Documentation, Design Patterns, Security, Internationalization, Protocols, and impotantly, Case Study.
Reading these chapters and working the Case Study, helped me understand the entire overall concept as well as, enough details so I could understand my short commings. Therefore the references listed in this book to other books with more details are very useful.
I think that this book is very important for the technical people getting ready for SCEA test, but it is MORE:
1. It can be great help for managers to get an excellent understanding, and 2. It is also great help for detail code developers to get a good taste of the overall and higher level view of the entire J2EE!
I hope that the authors are working on the next revision.
