OCM Java® EE 6 Enterprise Architect Exam Guide (Exams 1Z0-807, 1Z0-865 & 1Z0-866)

Because of the complexities involved in enterprise application development, it is becoming increasingly important for Information Technology architects to become certified as an Oracle Certified Master, Java EE Enterprise Architect (OCMJEA). Certification in Java technology will improve your career potential, provide credibility and respect, and increase job security. With certification, you prove that you are qualified to architect Java EE applications, which increases your opportunities for professional advancement.

The OCMJEA exam tests the concepts you’ve gained as a professional architect. These concepts are typically gained in a career that spans 10 or more years and includes experience with a diverse set of computing languages and technology beyond Java. The exam tests your ability to produce an enterprise architecture using Java EE. Chapter 1 provides a detailed overview of the exam and the objectives, along with test-taking tips. We cover all of the objectives in the book’s chapters.

OCM Java EE 6 Enterprise Architect Exam Guide (Exams 1Z0-807, 1Z0-865 & 1Z0-866) is organized in such a way as to serve as an in-depth review for the exams for everyone from experienced Java EE architects to professionals, developers, and even newcomers to Java EE and related technologies. Each chapter covers the specific stated objectives of the current exams. The emphasis is placed not only on the “why” and the “how to” of working with and supporting Java EE–based applications and related enterprise technologies but also on how best to prepare for the successful completion of the exams.

The Two-Minute Drill at the end of every chapter is a checklist of the main points of the chapter. It can be used for last-minute review.

The Self Test offers questions similar to those found on the multiple-choice exam. The answers to these questions, as well as explanations of the answers, can be found at the end of each chapter. By taking the Self Test after completing each chapter, you’ll reinforce what you’ve learned from that chapter while becoming familiar with the structure of the exam questions.

Some Pointers

Once you’ve finished reading this book, set aside some time to do a thorough review. You might want to return to the book several times and make use of all the methods it offers for reviewing the material.

1. Re-read all the Two-Minute Drills, or have someone quiz you. You also can use the drills as a way to do a quick cram before the exams. You might want to make some flash cards out of 3×5 index cards that have the Two-Minute Drill material on them.

2. Re-read all the Exam Watch notes. Remember that these notes are written by authors who have taken the exams and passed. They know what you should expect—and what you should be on the lookout for.

3. Review all the S&S sections for quick problem solving.

4. Re-take the Self Tests. Taking the tests right after you’ve read the chapter is a good idea, because the questions help reinforce what you’ve just learned. However, it’s an even better idea to go back later and do all the questions in the book in one sitting. Pretend that you’re taking the live multiple-choice exam. (When you go through the questions the first time, you should mark your answers on a separate piece of paper. That way, you can run through the questions as many times as you need to until you feel comfortable with the material.)

5. Complete the Exercises. Did you do the exercises when you read through each chapter? If not, do them! These exercises are designed to cover exam topics, and there’s no better way to get to know this material than by practicing. If there is something you are not clear on, re-read that section in the chapter.
