Sun tutorials relevant to the old exam objectives
The J2EE 1.4 Tutorials
the Java Web Services Developer Pack 1.6
For the time being the Java Web Services Developer Pack 1.6 (JWSDP 1.6) distribution can still be found
here . The
JWSDP 2.0 can be used - however it requires JDK 5 and also contains JAX-WS which is not covered by the exam and JAXB 2.0 (the exam only covers JAXB 1.0). Either JWSDP has to be used in combination with the
Sun Java System Application Server PE 8.2 - it is the last J2EE 1.4 application server reference implementation from Sun (SCDJWS only covers J2EE 1.4 web services; note however that the server comes with JDK 5). It supports (EJB) Stateless Session Bean based web services which neither Tomcat (as a servlet container) or Axis 1.x (as a web service toolkit) do - SLSB-based web services
are on the exam.
If you feel the need to practice with a working UDDI registry you will have to set up your own. To do so you will probably have to run a second server locally. For the purpose of running a UDDI registry
Tomcat 5.0 for Java WSDP with another copy of the JWSDP installed should be sufficient. The process of setting up a registry is described in the article
Managing and Monitoring Web Services in Project GlassFish.
