How to become Oracle Certified Expert, Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 Enterprise JavaBeans Developer

Goals

The goals of this post is to provide all the necessary steps that a developer needs to take in order to become a certified Oracle Certified Expert, Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 Enterprise JavaBeans Developer.

So the steps that I recommend are :

1) Read documentations & books.

Here I would recommend to read the followings :
a) OCP JavaEE 6 EJB Developer Study Notes by Ivan Kriszan. This document is presented like a book where all the certification topics are tackled.
b) EJB 3.1 Specifications - if you want to have a better knowledge of the EJB topics
right from the source you can read the specifications. I find it very useful in completing knowledge about EJB.
c)Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1, 6th Edition - a good book where you can read about EJB even beyond the certification topics. In my opinion this book is optional and good addition to the first two links.

2) Prepare yourself by taking mock exams

While preparing for the EJB certification I found the following mock exams which were pretty useful:
a) EJB mock exams at quizover.com

3) Read about the actual exam on the official page at oracle.com

4) Take the exam. Good luck!

Disclaimer : As I will progress with the EJB Certification I will update this page with useful information.

Assumptions

This tutorial assumes that you have already an application on the OpenShift and that you have an Eclipse JEE with OpenShift plugin installed.
If you don't an OpenShift application already deployed please visit this page.

Steps to be done

1) On Eclipse select Window -> Show View and then select the OpenShift Explorer view. You will see something like :

2) Right click the application and select the Port Forwarding option :

3) You will see a screen with all server ports. Enable them by pressing the Start All button.

4) After you pressed the Start All button you will see that some the ports will be enabled :

5) Now the application server's ports are mapped to the Local Address from above screen. You can use that address to access the JBoss console : http://127.0.0.1:9990 (9990 is the default port for the JBoss Admin console).
