WA1451 JBoss Application Server v4 Clustering Training and Courseware

Quick Enroll

This course teaches how to manage a cluster of JBoss Application Servers. Clustering can be a powerful way of improving the performance and availability of applications but can be difficult to manage in a JBoss environment where most of the configuration is done by manually editing configuration files. This course will provide tools and techniques to simplify the administration of multiple JBoss Application Servers.

Topics
 
  • Managing JBoss Configurations with JBoss Eclipse IDE
  • JBoss Clustered Architecture
  • JGroups Network Communication
  • Integrating JBoss with Apache Web Server
  • Impact of Clustering on Various Services

What you will learn
  After completing this course, the student should be able to:
  • Use various techniques to create a more robust environment and avoid common problems
  • Configure a cluster of JBoss Application Servers
  • Modify the JGroups network communication used by the cluster
  • Deploy applications to a cluster
  • Integrate the JBoss Application Server with the Apache web server for load balancing
  • Configure services that require special configuration in a cluster and understand their impact on applications

Audience
  Webmasters and System Administrators who will configure and maintain clusters of JBoss Application Servers.

Prerequisites
 

Basic knowledge of JBoss administration is required for this course. Students should already know some of the main configuration files for JBoss and how to install and control JBoss Application Servers. For students that do not have this prerequisite knowledge the following course is recommended as it provides this knowledge and contains the clustering content of this class as well:

WA1364 JBoss Application Server v4 Administration

The student should have a familiarity with basic Windows operational skills like running commands from a command prompt and networking. Although not required, familiarity with web-based applications, web servers, and Java is suggested.

Duration
  Two days
