Bascom Bridge’s Administering tyshe JBoss WildFly 10 Application Server training course teaches attendees how to configure and manage WildFly 10, the latest release in the very popular JBoss^® series of application servers. This class also incorporates WildFly 10’s new features and changes compared to earlier WildFly releases.

WILDFLY 10 TRAINING OBJECTIVES

All students will:

• Understand WF10 architecture and JEE server structure
• Install and configure the server
• Understand the structure of both standalone installations and domain-based installations
• Understand the management model and the XML configuration files
• Use the management tools including direct editing of XML, using the CLI (Command Line Interface), scripting, and the Web management console
• Understand deployment types and packaging (JARS, WARS, EARS …), and deploy applications
• Understand modular classloading in WF10, and how it affects application deployment and dependencies
• Configure and monitor the Web container
• Configure important services, including datasources, JNDI, EJB, JMS messaging, and logging
• Understand and configure WF10 security
• Use monitoring tools, and identify areas for tuning
• Understand and use clustering with WF10, including including load balancing with the built-in front-end load balancer and Apache httpd and mod_cluster
• Understand and administer a domain of WF10 servers

WILDFLY 10 TRAINING PREREQUISITES

All attendees should be familiar with general principles of Web and application server administration.

WILDFLY 10 TRAINING MATERIALS

All attendees receive comprehensive courseware and a copy of ItBuzzPress.com’s WildFly 10 Administration Guide.

SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR EACH PC:

• Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, or Solaris with at least 8 GB RAM
• JDK 1.8 or later
• WildFly 10 or later version
• Line numbering/color coding text editor of your choice
• Related lab files that Accelebrate will provide
• Upon request, a complete class environment, running CentOS, Ubuntu, or OpenSUSE, can be provided as a VMware or VirtualBox VM
• For classes delivered online, all participants need either dual monitors or a separate device logged into the online session so that they can do their work on one screen and watch the instructor on the other. A separate computer connected to a projector or large screen TV would be another way for students to see the instructor’s screen simultaneously with working on their own.
