Základní info
Students install prerequisite Java EE 6 JDK and then install, configure, and administer GlassFish Server 3.1. Basic concepts such as node, domain, DAS, instance, and cluster are covered. Students implement security using SSH and password files. The student configures GlassFish Server to monitor active applications and to display log files. Integration with log4j is also demonstrated.Students deploy, redeploy (update), start, stop, and undeploy (delete) both versioned and non-versioned applications on standalone instances, clustered instances, and instances supported by JDBC back ends. Students configure and test session persistence using in-memory replication to support applications for high availability. Additional high-availability support is provided by configuring Coherence Active Cache and Oracle iPlanet HTTP Web Server load-balancing. JMS message queue is configured in several integration and clustering modes.Finally, students maintain GlassFish Server software itself through upgrades, updates, adding and removing components, and uninstalling all the GlassFish Server software.Learn To:Install, configure, update, and uninstall GlassFish Server 3.1Configure, start, stop, and monitor nodes, instances, and clustersDeploy, redeploy, undeploy applicationsCreate, configure, and tune JDBC access to databasesConfigure and demonstrate session persistence to memory and to Active CacheConfigure JMS Message Queues
