Dear Sarasvathi,
SCJP Sun Certified Java Programmer exam. You have to get SCJP (Exam CX-310-035 for SDK1.4 (that's the current Java release, until Tiger (SDK1.5) comes around, before you are allowed to attempt the SCJD Sun Certified Java Developer cert(assignment (write a Java progam) and essay based exam).
Hope these helps for starters...for more, check out the various FAQs, eg:
