Apache Tomcat Training Overview

Apache Tomcat is the most popular platform for deploying Java-based™ Web applications. In this two days course, attendees learn how to administer the Tomcat server, how to deploy applications on the server, and how to ensure the server's security.

Location and Pricing

Most Accelebrate courses are taught on-site at our clients' locations worldwide for groups of 3 or more attendees and are customized to their specific needs. Please visit our client list to see organizations for whom we have recently delivered training. These courses can also be delivered as live, private online classes for groups that are geographically dispersed or wish to save on the instructor’s or students’ travel expenses. To receive a customized proposal and price quote private training at your site or online, please contact us.

In addition, some courses are available as live, online classes for individuals.  To see a schedule of online courses, please visit http://www.accelebrate.com/online_training/xml_html_js.htm.

Apache Tomcat Training Prerequisites

All attendees should be familiar with general principles of Web server administration and have some experience building Web applications.

Hands-on/Lecture Ratio

This Tomcat training class is 70% hands-on, 30% lecture, with the longest lecture segments lasting for 20 minutes. Students "learn by doing," with immediate opportunities to apply the material they learn to real-world problems.

Apache Tomcat Training Materials

All students receive a copy of Wrox Press's Professional Apache Tomcat 6 (used as the main textbook for the course) and related courseware.

Software Needed on Each Student PC

This course can be taught either of 2 ways:

Using the Windows version of Apache Tomcat 4.1, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, or later. The instructor brings all software needed for class on flash drives, and students install/configure the software as part of the training. Students need local administrator rights and the PCs should have at least 1GB of RAM.

OR

Using Apache Tomcat in a Linux or Solaris virtual machine (any version of Tomcat can be taught). We would send you a DVD with the virtual machine in advance for installation. Classroom PCs should have:
