  • The RHCJD exam is a performance-based evaluation of a candidate's skills and knowledge regarding the implementation of enterprise applications using common enterprise specifications. With performance-based testing, candidates must perform tasks similar to what they perform on the job.
  • In this exam, candidates are asked to perform a number of common development tasks which require the use of certain APIs and specifications. Candidates are then evaluated on how well their implementations meet objective criteria such as being able to access an object instance using a specified webs service.
  • Even though the exam uses JBoss Enterprise Application Platform as its runtime, the exam is not JBoss-specific and only targets well-documented, portable specifications.
