Among the subjects covered are: • The conceptual and theoretical basis for web and application servers and their role within modern enterprise-scale systems infrastructures. Included is an overview of key concepts such as a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).
• A detailed architectural discussion of the application server and its components, and how these interoperate to provide application and web services. Learn how the Application
• Server supports industry standards for Java, ESI, LDAP, SSL and many others.
