Course Overview
Red Hat Application Development I: Programming in Java EE with Exam (AD184) is designed for experienced Java SE developers transitioning into enterprise-level application development using Java EE. This comprehensive course prepares candidates for the Red Hat Certified Enterprise Application Developer Exam (EX183) and serves roles such as Java EE Developer, Enterprise Application Developer, and Backend Developer. According to Red Hat, enterprise adoption of Jakarta EE (the successor to Java EE) continues to grow, with over 80% of Fortune 500 companies relying on Java-based enterprise platforms for mission-critical applications. The course is ideal for developers with at least two years of Java SE experience who want to build scalable, secure, and maintainable enterprise solutions using industry-standard specifications.
Participants in AD184 work extensively with core Java EE technologies including Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), Java Persistence API (JPA), Java Messaging Service (JMS), JAX-RS for REST services, Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI), and JAAS for application security. The hands-on lab environment is based on Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform 7.0, where students use tools like Red Hat Developer Studio, Maven, and the JBoss EAP server to build and deploy real-world applications. A key lab project involves transforming a standalone Java SE command-line application into a fully functional multi-tiered enterprise application, complete with RESTful endpoints, secure authentication, database persistence, and asynchronous messaging using message-driven beans.
By completing AD184 and passing the EX183 exam, learners earn the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Enterprise Application Development credential, which is recognized globally and contributes to the Red Hat Certified Architect pathway. Certified professionals report competitive salaries, with Java EE Developers in the U.S. earning an average of $108,291 annually according to Salary.com (2026 data). Koenig Solutions enhances this training with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and official Red Hat courseware, ensuring learners gain hands-on experience with up-to-date, vendor-authorized content. Upon completion, developers are equipped to design and deploy enterprise-grade applications, positioning them for advancement into senior development and architecture roles within cloud-native and enterprise IT environments.
