Duration: 4 Days
Discover the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) with an emphasis on advanced Java EE application programming interfaces (APIs) in this course that challenges experienced Java EE developers by providing a deep dive into JBoss EAP details, features, internals, and Java EE best practices. Leveraging JBoss EAP, you will learn to build, deploy, and maintain highly performing, scalable applications.
Diving into areas of JBoss technologies that differ from the non-JBoss enterprise middleware stacks, you will be exposed to aspect-oriented programming, interceptors, JMX, and JBoss Services. In addition, you will get an introduction to the new JBoss Messaging (for EAP 4.3).
Using JBoss Developer Studio extensively as a lab integrated development environment (IDE), hands-on labs allow you to experience and explore JBoss Cache, JGroups, clustering, dynamic proxies, transactions, and performance tuning.
What You Will Learn
- Installing and starting JBoss
- Classloading in JBoss
- Creating and deploying a custom MBean
- Using aspects in JBoss
- Setting up and tuning data sources
- Transactions in JBoss
- Creating and deploying a cached application
- Deploying and clustering a stateless EJB
- Configuring JGroups to deploy and cluster a web application
- Fine-tuning applications in JBoss
- Securing a web application in JBoss
- Deploying JMS queues and monitoring performance under load
Audience
- Experienced Java developers seeking to enhance their utilization of JBoss
- Java developers who need a deeper understanding of JBoss to implement customized services based on remoting, JMX, or other protocols outside the normal JEE .ear or .war deployments
- ISV development teams who need to know JBoss more intimately to customize the server environment to better fit their applications' deployment needs
- Application architects seeking to produce leaner, meaner deployment artifacts, resulting in better performance and integrity results
Prerequistes
- Two years of experience with Java EE or J2EE
- Proficiency in HTML
- Experience with an IDE, such as Eclipse or NetBeans, and build tools, such as Ant or Maven
- Basic knowledge of open source relational database management system (RDBMS)
