Right from the start the book lacks a smooth flow and a sense of purpose. It rambles on and on about the greatness of all things irrelevant (from the exam point of view). The chapter on architecture never seems to end and before we know it we are being told about the parameters and bad practices when it is not clear in the first place what constitutes an architecture. The authors chose to quote some standard definitions but that does not cut it.There is a chapter on UML which doesn't state anything in precise terms. This is the trend through out the book.
There is a chapter on design patterns and this is an example of how not to teach things. The authors write tons and tons of code detailing what could have been explained by a simple UML diagram. After all UML is on the exam and the chapter on UML precedes the chapter on design patterns. Most of the examples are meaningless.
Then there is a chapter on legacy connectivity which talks about JCA in the text but asks questions about everything non-JCA! This is written for somebody who is aware of JCA. This is not required for the exam. Since I was new to subject matter, I read the specification which like most specs from Sun is really written well and was an easy reading. When I went back to the book, things made sense.
The same patterns are repeated in the chapters on Security, EJB and Internationalization.
If I were to do it again, I wouldn't even touch this book. The books by Richard Monson-Hafael and Cade and Roberts are more than sufficient for the exam. For everything else, there is the spec which should be read at some point anyway.
Most people who take this exam are short of time and the kind of useless diversions offered by the book only waste time.
