How much Java, CORBA, etc. will I need for the 522?

I am an R4 CLS and I have already cleared exams 520 and 521 for my R5 clp. Could you tell me what topics I should focus on for the 522 exam? I have good experience in administering Domino and I have also developed applications based in Lotus Script and formulae language. It would be helpful if you could tell me up to what extent my knowledge on Java, CORBA, etc. will be tested in the 522 exam.
The 522 exam ("Deploying Domino Applications") is an exam that looks at your knowledge of Notes databases from an ADMINISTRATORS perspective, rather than a developers perspective. Your level of knowledge of programming languages for this exam is not tested.

I would recommend that you visit the Lotus certification page and download the exam guide:

http://www.lotus.com/certification

You will find that this exam measures your database competencies from a maintenance, participation and implementation viewpoint. You will need to know which server tasks are involved in the distribution and maintenance of domino databases, what their options are and how they work. This outline is explained in the exam guide, along with the competencies measured.
