JBoss Administration

Course:  JBADM
Duration:  5 Days
Level:  I
Course Summary

This course teaches students the best practices for installing and configuring JBoss Enterprise Server. Through hands-on labs, they learn the essential, administrator tasks that a system administrator needs to know to effectively deploy and manage applications on JBoss Enterprise Server. As the Java EE standard has evolved and matured, the API has become increasingly rich and complex. The next generation of application servers needs to be modular and configurable to run only specific services or containers. JBoss AS 7 promises to meet those requirements but the configuration of a complex application server is composed of a mix of administrative and management tasks which often overlap, generating confusion. This course will help cut down the learning curve for this exciting product.

The course explores the new application server structure and teaches students how to install it. They will learn to configure the core AS services, including thread pools, the messaging system, and the transaction service. Additionally, they will learn how to deploy and manage applications and then tune the performance of an AS to achieve an efficient, indispensible application server.
