Red Hat Certified Enterprise Application Developer Exam

Course Overview

The Red Hat® Certified Enterprise Application Developer exam (EX183) tests whether you have a basic understanding of the core enterprise Java APIs that are required to implement modern, stateless business services.

The exam focuses on using the default behavior of the minimal set of JEE APIs that are applicable across all modern Enterprise Java application development environments:

- Using JAX-RS for simple REST create, read/search, update, and delete APIs.

- Using JAAS to secure access to services.

- Using stateless EJBs to provide business logic.

- Using CDI to integrate components.

- Using JMS to send and receive messages.

- Using Bean Validation to ensure data format and consistency.

- Using basic JPA to create, read, update, and delete persistent objects and their relationships.

By passing this exam, you become a Red Hat Certified Enterprise Application Developer. This certification can be the first step toward becoming a Red Hat Certified Architect.

This exam is based on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.

Preparation

Red Hat encourages you to consider taking Red Hat Application Development I: Programming in Java EE (JB183) to help prepare for EX183.  Attendance in these classes is not required; students can choose to take just the exam.

While attending Red Hat classes can be an important part of your preparation, attending class does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of success.

Many books and other resources on system administration for Red Hat products are available. Red Hat does not endorse any of these materials as preparation guides for exams. Nevertheless, you may find additional reading helpful to deepen your understanding.

Exam format

The EX183 exam is a hands-on, practical exam that requires you to undertake real-world development tasks. Internet access is not provided during the exam, and you will not be permitted to bring any hard copy or electronic documentation into the exam. This prohibition includes notes, books, or any other materials. Documentation that ships with JBoss EAP is available during the exam.

Scores and reporting                 

Official scores for exams come exclusively from Red Hat Certification Central. Red Hat does not authorize examiners or training partners to report results to candidates directly. Scores on the exam are usually reported within 3 U.S. business days.
