In this four-day intensive instructor-led training course, you will learn from one of the core developers for Apache Tomcat, specifically about Tomcat 5.5 and 6.0 - among the most popular open source technologies in the world today.

During this SpringSource Certified Training you will receive an introduction to Apache Tomcat, including an overview of the Tomcat architecture, how to install, configure and administer Tomcat, performance tuning, and more.

This four-day course has been developed by Filip Hanik, a PMC member and active committer for the Apache Tomcat project and Senior Software Engineer for the Covalent Division of SpringSource.

The fastest and most comprehensive way to learn everything you need to know about the Apache Tomcat server. If you are an administrator, developer, release engineer, or perhaps a bit of all these, then this SpringSource Certified training is for you. Whether you are an expert or a beginner, you are guaranteed to learn something new in this class.

The curriculum spans from basic Tomcat configuration to advanced tuning of both Tomcat and the JVM. We'll go over several different deployment methodologies, with and without Web server connectors, load balanced or not, and how to maximize the performance of Tomcat in your infrastructure. You'll learn how to troubleshoot Tomcat, how to classify different types of error messages, and how to correctly reconfigure your server based on the actual error.

Towards the end of the training we will take a deep dive into the core of Tomcat, learning both architecture and code, and how to write your own Tomcat components.
