• Providing and obtaining configuration properties through several environment-aware sources both internal and external to the application and made available through dependency injection or lookup using Configuration for Microprofile
  • Externalizing data into configured values
  • Injecting configured values into beans using the @Inject and the @ConfigProperty qualifier
  • Accessing or creating a certain configuration
  • Understanding default and custom ConfigSource and ConfigSource ordering
  • Understanding and implementing converters
• Separating execution logic from business logic using Microprofile Fault Tolerance
  • Understanding the relationship to MicroProfile Config
  • Understanding async vs. sync execution type and know the default
  • Using @Timeout
  • Understanding retry policies and applying using @Retry
  • Understanding and defining fallback
  • Understanding and applying CircuitBreaker and Bulkhead
  • Understanding and setting up fault tolerance configuration

  • Understanding protocol and wireformat
• Exporting monitoring data to management agents using Microprofile Metrics
  • Understanding difference with Health Check

  • Using JWT bearer tokens to protect services
  • Marking a JAX-RS application as requiring MP-JWT access control
  • Mapping MP-JWT tokens to Java EE Container APIs

As with all Red Hat performance-based exams, configurations must persist after reboot without intervention.

• Attend the following Red Hat training
• Pass Red Hat Certified Enterprise Application Developer Exam (EX183) or have equivalent industry JEE experience
• Be familiar with using Red Hat^® JBoss^® Developer Studio in a Red Hat^® Enterprise Linux environment
• Have a solid background with JEE, including a knowledge and understanding of the core Java concepts and APIs. For example, exceptions, annotations, and the collections API are all required during the exam
