In the course JBoss Administration participants learn to install, set up and configure the JBoss Application Server. The JBoss Application Server is an open source Java EE based runtime platform from RedHat. The course JBoss Administration deals with the latest JBoss Application Server version but also covers the differences with the previous versions of the server. The course works with the JBoss versions EAP 6.x, EAP 7.x and Wildfly.
The course starts with a discussion of the fundamental concepts of the Java EE standard with Web components such as servlets and JSP and Enterprise Bean components such as sessions and message driven beans.
Then the architecture and installation of the application server is covered. In the latest version of JBoss many improvements have been made, such as centralized configuration management and a faster start-up time. Issues such as the difference between standalone and domain mode, profiles and subsystems are treated here.
Attention is also paid to modular kernel and class loading, parallel deployment and sub-deployments. And dynamic module naming and implicit module dependencies are also discussed.
An important part of the tuning and monitoring of JBoss is the configuration of the Logging Subsystem. The various options for its configuration are covered.
User Management with the Management Console and the Command Line interface for assigning rights to individuals and groups is treated. And in that context, securing JBoss Applications with Login Modules and SSL certificates is also discussed.
Database access is also part of the course program. The installation and configuration of data sources and JDBC drivers is explained. And the deployment of Web Services on JBoss is covered.
Finally the possibilities of clustering JBoss servers, the difference between horizontal and vertical clustering and the integration with Message Queues are discussed. Performance tuning is also part of this.
System Administrators and Web Developers who need to administer and control the JBoss Server and who need to deploy applications onto JBoss versions AS 7.*, WildFly or EAP 6.*.
Participants should be familiar basic computing skills like working with a command prompt and accessing the file system. Knowledge of Web Applications and other Web Servers is beneficial.
The theory is covered using presentation slides. The concepts are further explained using demo's. The theory is alternated with exercises. The course material is in English. The course times are from 9.30 up and to 16.30.
Participants receive an official certificate JBoss Administration after successful completion of the course.

All our courses are classroom courses in which the students are guided through the material on the basis of an experienced trainer with in-depth material knowledge. Theory is always interspersed with exercises.
We also do custom classes and then adjust the course content to your wishes. On request we will also discuss your practical cases.
The course times are from 9.30 to 16.30. But we are flexible in this. Sometimes people have to bring children to the daycare and other times are more convenient for them. In good consultation we can then agree on different course times.
We take care of the computers on which the course can be held. The software required for the course has already been installed on these computers. You do not have to bring a laptop to participate in the course. If you prefer to work on your own laptop, you can take it with you if you wish. The required software is then installed at the start of the course.
Our courses are generally given with Open Source software such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, Tomcat, Pycharm, Anaconda and Netbeans. You will receive the digital course material to take home after the course.
The course includes lunch that we use in a restaurant within walking distance of the course room.
The courses are planned at various places in the country. A course takes place at a location if at least 3 people register for that location. If there are registrations for different locations, the course will take place at our main location, Houten which is just below Utrecht. A course at our main location also takes place with 2 registrations and regularly with 1 registration. And we also do courses at the customer’s location if they appreciate that.
At the end of each course, participants are requested to evaluate the course in terms of course content, course material, trainer and location. The evaluation form can be found at https://www.klantenvertellen.nl/reviews/1039545/spiraltrain?lang=en. The evaluations of previous participants and previous courses can also be found there.
