GlassFish Application Server: Administration Bundle (WMTB-SAS-1600)

Application Server is a platform that supports services from web publishing to enterprise-scale transaction processing. This platform also enables developers to deploy and manage applications based on JavaServer Pages (JSP), servlets, and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology. The GlassFish Application Server: Administration course course covers the Developer, Cluster, and Enterprise profiles. In this course students learn to: install and set up different profiles; configure and administer Application Server; and use Admin Console. This course covers the concepts, such as installation, upgrade, migration, and configuration of GlassFish Application Server V2. This course does not cover Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) development concepts or Java enterprise system installation and configuration. These topics are covered in other Sun courses.
