SCDJWS
Ive been working on learning web services for a little bit. Like just about any other topic in Java, you can put together some example code and in 15 minutes you have a web service without ever even having to see a WSDL or SOAP message. Not all that hard….but still, to really understand the whole picture takes a fair amount of work.
Sun has a certification for this called SCDJWS (Sun Certified Developer of Java Web Services). My intention here is to learn web services. Personally, I have not found (in this market) that my previous SCJD and SCWCD certs have really helped me much by themselves. The knowledge gained in the process of attaining these pieces of paper however has been invaluable. Because of this….you might not see 100% coverage between my studies and the actual test objectives. My real objectives are to learn the material, impress the socks off a potential employeer and land a very interesting and satisfying job.
So Here is my launching point for my studies. For the most part, it will be a collection of links, some code examples and flash cards. There are some pretty good study guides already out there. No point in reinventing that wheel. Ill focus on relevant links to 1.5 and the flash cards. Hope folks find it helpful.
Note about the flash cards. I have NO INTENTION of simply rehashing existing material (like Whizlabs) in my flashcards. I totally respect the copyrights of all others. Chunks of material have been copied from SOAP 1.2 WSDL1.1 and BP1.1…but thats the point. Other than that, its fairly well synthesized. Flash cards have as many BP requirements as possible.

Java Passion Sang Shins webcourse. Looks like its pretty intensive
Java EE 5 Tutorial You can buy the book too…but why?
Watsh Rajneeshs notes: Pretty complete looking. 1.4
MZs guide seems to be the definitive one.
