Thank you Norman, I should have known to search there but I have 4 OCPs so
I am even worse off. I think with the retirement of the Java certification
and the fact that the Application Server administration is still in beta I
hold all the active certifications Oracle offers. (that, combined with
$8.97 USD, will get me a six pack of Newcastle Brown) I appreciate the help
and best wishes for the new year to all!
