So for those of us fortunate enough to have a Java job where we do a lot of Java coding, the issue of certification seems to be a personal one. Mainly to give us confidence, whereas if you are looking for a Java job the programmer and either web developer or developer coupled with some tertiary qualification would be nice.
Back to the web services exam, it does seem to cover quite a lot of low level plumbing and does not focus on JAX-WS 2 (which is kinda cool, well cool cos the JEE 5 framework handles a lot of the nitty gritty through annotations). >From my personal opinion, studying for the web component certification was extremely useful seeing the amount of servlet/jsp code we write where I work. And because it looks cute on my CV, it gives me more confidence Regards Carl On Dec 6, 2007 3:02 PM, evan summers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > It's seems companies refuse to offer you a position unless you have a > > degree.
