The purpose of life is not to win. The purpose of life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought into other people's lives than you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them.

How to crack the SCDJWS ?..

The wikipedia says SCDJWS is the toughest and the most respected Sun Certification.

Very true indeed.

I scored 79% (55/69). Here's the split up.

XML Web Service Standards 80%
SOAP 1.1 Web Service Standards 83%
Describing and Publishing (WSDL and UDDI) 100%
JAX-RPC 85%
SOAP and XML Processing APIs (JAXP, JAXB and SAAJ) 100%
JAXR 75%
J2EE Web Services 71%
Security 75%
Developing Web Services 66%
General Design and Architecture 50%
Endpoint Design and Architecture 80%

Preparation Plan

1. RMH Book for XML Basics, Namespaces, Schemas, SOAP, WSDL
2. Rest of the chapters - MZ notes. - javaboot
3. xyzws.com mock exams

The questions in the real exam were little tough than xyzws mocks. It wasn't that straight forward, but with little thinking it can be answered.

I did practise a little with all the APIs. I hosted a Web Service using JAX-RPC, wrote some schemas and compiled it. I used the tomcat for java web services developer pack.
