IMHO, Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Java." It's also available online at
http://www.bruceeckel.com. But there is simply no substitute for
experience. You have to agree not to divulge the contents of the test
at the testing center, and even have to turn in your scratch paper at
the end. I can tell you what's NOT on the test, though:
servlets
JSP
J2EE/EJB/JMS
Swing
Specifics about the JVM
RMI
security (except concerning applets)
Generally, you will need to know (in great detail):
java.io.* (espcially streams chaining)
java.file.*
java.awt.* (especiall layout managers and excluding layout managers)
java.lang.* (especially stuff about Strings)
java.util.* (especially the class hierarchies for the new Java 2
classes)
And there are scattered questions on:
java.applet.*
java.beans.*
java.math.*
casting
primitives
looping
conditionals
garbage collection
Cheers!
