Summary: The only reference you will need for the exam
Review: I'm somewhat of a certification junkie (MCP, MCSD, SCP, and now SCWCD) so I've had my fair share of good and bad certification books.
With a basic understanding of JSP and this book, I took the exam and broke the record for the highest mark at the testing centre.
This is one of the few books that will likely get you certified without prior J2EE reading or experience. (Assuming you are familiar with J2SE)

Summary: Everything you need to pass
Review: This book is all you need to pass the certification. I have only created 1 real world servlet in my life and have never written a JSP. I studied this book from cover to cover and passed the test with 93%. Now it's time to go create my first dynamic web site!

Summary: key to passing the exam
Review: With the help of this book and Javaranch, I passed the exam missing only 3 questions. Unlike some other exam prep. books, the 3 practice exams in the companion CD is ADDITION TO review/excersie questions from each chapter. A big help there.

Summary: This is all you need.
Review: I just got my SCWCD. As it turned out, this was the only resource I needed for the cert. All the other supplementary materials I purchased were a waste of time and money.

Summary: The flaws in the book are ...
Review: While everybody rates this book very highly (and so do I with 4 starts) I might as well take a different road. Granted the book is a good one and I strongly recommend your buying, here are its flaws. I didnt compile all its examples but just from reading them I could pick out coding errors. These are minor and do not detract from the actual lesson being imparted. The book tries to, but doesnt quite obtain, the lucidity the authors try to reach in the involved parts of the book. For example the part where you they tell you that you can force the creation of only one servlet by mapping the servlet and a JSP page to the same URL in the web.xml file ... doesnt work out in reality on Tomcat. Then the last few pages that explain the usage of beans in JSP pages is vague. Maybe the authors were tired by this time. Who knows. Aside from the above two there are a few minor problems here and there. However - the rest of the book is well worth the money and quite excellent! I have learnt and gained A LOT from it in a really short period of time. Strongly recommended.

Summary: Excellent book for exam as well as reference
Review: This book is explains web application development and configuration using Servlet and JSP technologies of Java. I found custom Tag development a kind of difficult before I read both the chapters on custom Tags in this book. Really helps to clear the fundamentals of web development using java technologies. Comes with excellent test simulator CD.
