What you’ll learn

Develop a comprehensive understanding of JBoss Application Server administration, including key areas such as deployment, logging, database connectivity and security configuration. This course combines theory with hands-on practice, using real-world examples and exercises to reinforce your ability to apply each technique in live enterprise environments. 

Data Sources and messaging

Configure database access and messaging infrastructure within JBoss Application Server. You’ll learn to define JDBC data sources and set up connection pooling for improved performance. You’ll also explore Java Messaging Service (JMS), enabling you to configure connection factories, topics and queues for reliable communication between distributed applications in enterprise environments. 

Security and performance

Secure your JBoss Application Server by implementing login modules, configuring HTTPS connectors and managing sensitive data with password vaults. You'll also explore performance tuning, including JVM optimisation and adjustments to key subsystems such as web services, JMS and EJBs. These skills are essential for maintaining a stable, responsive and scalable enterprise environment. 

Clustering and load balancing

Discover how to create scalable and fault-tolerant systems using JBoss clustering and load balancing. You’ll learn how to configure clustered instances and distribute traffic effectively across nodes. You’ll also understand the differences between standalone and domain mode clustering, and how to maintain high availability and session persistence in enterprise deployments. 

JMS messaging in enterprise environments

Understand how Java Messaging Service (JMS) enables decoupled, event-driven communication in complex application landscapes. You'll focus on configuring messaging components within JBoss to support scalable workflows, while exploring how JMS contributes to system reliability, asynchronous processing, and seamless integration across distributed enterprise systems.
