JBoss EAP 7, released in 2016, introduces native support for Java SE 8 and a full range of Java EE 7 features.  This JBoss EAP 7 Administration training course prepares systems administrators to configure, tune, monitor, and secure JBoss EAP 7.

JBOSS EAP 7 TRAINING OBJECTIVES

All students will:

• Explore the JBoss EAP 7 architecture and the capabilities of Java EE 7
• Install and configure JBoss EAP 7
• Master administration of standalone JBoss EAP 7 instances, as well as manage JBoss EAP 7 servers running in domain mode
• Manage JBoss EAP 7 using the Command Line Interface (CLI), administration console, and XML configuration files directly
• Learn about the various types of Java archives that can be deployed into JBoss EAP 7, including JARs, WARs, and EARs
• Understand the modular classloading module in EAP 7, and its impact on your deployed applications and their related dependencies
• Monitor all aspects of the JBoss server using both the command line and the administration console, including the JBoss Web container
• Set up and amdinister important services, including JMS, EJB, JNDI, datasources, error logging, and more
• Successfully configure Java EE 7 and JBoss EAP 7 security for a wide array of application types and deployed features
• Tune the JVM and JBoss EAP 7 itself, including selecting a garbage collection model, sizing different regions of memory, and more
• Cluster JBoss EAP 7 behind Apache httpd using your choice of mod_cluster (the default), mod_proxy, or mod_jk
• Manage a domain of JBoss EAP 7 servers

JBOSS EAP 7 TRAINING PREREQUISITES

All participants should have prior experience administering web and/or application servers.

JBOSS EAP 7 TRAINING MATERIALS

All JBoss EAP 7 training attendees receive a fully illustrated workbook totaling more than 500 pages.

SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR EACH PC:

• Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, or Solaris with at least 8 GB RAM
• JDK 1.8 or later
• JBoss EAP 7 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.
