I filled the SCWCD form , so I just want to know what are the content of this exam and which books should i refer for good study and is this exam is valuable for future purpose?

+1  A: 

It is all about basic Java Web Server development, e.g. web container model, servlet development, jsp, filters, security, tag libs and so on. You find the exam topics here.

The exam itself is similar to the SCJP in the way that it is multiple choice questions. Note, the SCJP is a prerequisite for this exam.

I used the Head First Servlets and JSP: Passing the Sun Certified Web Component Developer Exam (there is also an errata available online).

As usual, it depends. Like the SCJP exam, it's a lot of common sense and learning some stuff that a descent IDE can do with tab-completion.If you are new to java web development, it is a good starting point to learn the basic conventions and configurations. On the other hand you can do that by just reading the book.If you are a senior java web server developer, this exam is probably not for you. You will probably have the knowledge already and all you will get is a piece of paper and a new title in your resume. However, if that is what you want, go ahead.
