(this can help for the section 1, 7 and 8 )

(Update 20-09-09) Sun Certified Enterprise Architect for Java EE Study Guide, Second Edition; It’s in the “Rough Cuts” section, so it’s not quite ready (you can follow the blog of one of the authors to have updated information: http://humphreysheil.blogspot.com/)

• Articles

Choosing among JCA, JMS, and Web services for EAI (this can help on section 3 )

JSF for nonbelievers: Clearing the FUD about JSF (this can help on section 5 )

• Sites

Sun’s Java EE 5 Tutorial (i think that it covers all the sections beside the section 7 concerning patters)

For instance this is all i have, but I will update the blog if i find another sources.
