GlassFish Communications Server Administration and Deployment

This course introduces you to various Sun GlassFish Communications Server concepts and functions ranging from introductory to advanced and provides you with hands-on experience via labs for configuring, administering, and deploying web applications, SIP applications, and converged applications on Communications Server. Based on the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE), Sun GlassFish Communications Server is a converged application server that combines enterprise service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web services capabilities with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servlets. It harnesses GlassFish Enterprise Server’s power and ease of use, coupling it with project SailFin’s SIP capabilities that comply with SIP Servlets Specifications 1.0 and 1.1. Through a combination of instructor-led modules and hands-on labs, you are introduced to Communications Server and the technologies that it supports. You learn to configure, administer, and deploy web applications, SIP applications, and converged applications and to enable various advanced Communications Server features, such as SIP session replication, clustering, rolling upgrade, converged load balancing, monitoring and logging, and security. Java EE or SIP development concepts are not covered.
