GlassFish Application Server (Sun Java System Application Server 9.1) is a platform for deploying services ranging from simple web applications to enterprise-scale applications and web services. Application Server is based on the Java(TM) EE 5 platform. Developers can deploy and manage applications based on Java Server Pages(TM) (JSP(TM) pages), JavaServer(TM) Faces, servlets, and Enterprise JavaBeans(TM) (EJB(TM)) technology.
The GlassFish Application Server (Sun Java(TM) System Application Server 9.1) course introduces the Developer, Cluster and Enterprise profiles. Students learn to configure, administer, and deploy web applications, EJB applications, and web services on Application Server. The course explains how to enable the various advanced Application Server features, such as in-memory replication, HADB, load-balancing, monitoring and logging, clustering, and security, to the deployed applications. This course covers various Application Server concepts and functions that range in complexity from introductory to advanced.
