Course Description

  
This training course covers both the unsupported open source JBoss Application Server and the supported platform available from JBoss/RedHat (JBoss Enterprise Application Platform). This class covers both so no matter which type of JBoss environment you have this course is right for you. The JBoss EAP 6 product contains the JBoss Application Server 7.1 product internally which is why there are two different version numbers in the course title. The labs for this course are done in a Windows environment. --- The JBoss Application Server is one of the most popular open source Java application servers on the market. This release, JBoss AS 7, is a major release that includes many improvements and changes from the widely adopted JBoss 5 platform. The new release has a completely new structure and management model which is covered in depth in the course. --- This course covers in depth the major administrative tasks required to maintain a JBoss environment. This includes use of the new administrative tools, the web-based Management Console and scripting with the admin CLI (Command Line Interface). The course starts quickly to cover installing and running the JBoss server and deploying applications. The new architecture of the JBoss server is covered so students are more familiar with how various services and settings will be configured. It then covers configuration of some of the major services like logging, database connections, messaging resources, security, and web services. The course finishes with coverage of various aspects of JBoss performance and the features that can be utilized in more complex JBoss environments and what benefit they would provide. These features used in more complex environments include the new JBoss "Domain Mode", load balancing web requests with a web server, and properly configuring applications to support a clustered JBoss environment.
Course Length: 5 Days
