Java Certification - OCP (1Z0-809) Topic-wise Tests [2025]

It seems like you're providing an overview of what a candidate for the Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) Java SE 8 Programmer certification might expect in terms of topics covered on the exam. The overview includes a range of subjects such as Java I/O fundamentals, Java file I/O using NIO.2, Localization, Java Concurrency, and Building Database Applications with JDBC.

Here's a summary of what each section covers:

1. Java I/O Fundamentals: This includes reading and writing data from the console, and understanding how to use classes like BufferedReader, BufferedWriter, File, FileReader, FileWriter, FileInputStream, FileOutputStream, ObjectOutputStream, ObjectInputStream, and PrintWriter from the java.io package.

2. Java File I/O (NIO.2): This involves using the Path interface for file and directory paths, leveraging the Files class for operations like checking, reading, deleting, copying, moving files or directories, and managing their metadata. Additionally, it includes using the Stream API with NIO.2.

3. Localization: This topic covers how to read and set the locale using the Locale object, create and read a Properties file, and build a resource bundle for each supported locale, along with loading a resource bundle within an application.

4. Java Concurrency: This section requires knowledge of creating threads, preventing potential threading problems such as deadlocks, starvation, livelocks, and race conditions, using the synchronized keyword or the java.util.concurrent.atomic package, and understanding concurrent collections like CyclicBarrier, CopyOnWriteArrayList, and the Fork/Join Framework as well as parallel streams.

5. Building Database Applications with JDBC: This involves understanding the components that make up the core of the JDBC API, connecting to a database using the DriverManager class, and executing queries and reading results from the database.

The note at the end reminds candidates that the questions provided are based on real exam patterns and complexity for study purposes but are not actual exam questions or dumps. It's important to understand the concepts rather than just memorizing the questions.
