Description

Covers core concepts applicable to Apache Tomcat 9, 10, and 11 environments.

If you are a Java/J2EE, Spring AI Developer or DevOps Professional or Architect this is for you. Now learn how to run Java applications in production using Apache Tomcat.

Java developers often learn how to write code, but many struggle when it comes to deploying, securing, monitoring, and managing Java applications in a real production environment. This course is designed to bridge that gap.

In this hands-on Apache Tomcat course, you will learn how to deploy Java web applications, configure Tomcat servers, enable SSL, manage logs, tune performance, monitor memory and threads, configure clustering, and prepare for real-world production scenarios.

The course starts with the fundamentals of Apache Tomcat and gradually moves into advanced server administration topics. You will learn how Tomcat works as a servlet container, how Java web applications are deployed, how configuration files are structured, and how to manage Tomcat on Windows, Linux, AWS, and Google Cloud.

Apache Tomcat is one of the most widely used servlet containers and also forms the foundation for many Java middleware and application server environments. A strong understanding of Tomcat helps Java developers, middleware administrators, DevOps engineers, and system administrators manage Java applications with more confidence.

This course covers important production-level topics such as:

  • Tomcat installation and setup on Windows and Linux

  • Java web application deployment

  • Tomcat folder structure and configuration files

  • SSL and HTTPS configuration

  • Virtual host configuration

  • Clustering and high availability concepts

  • Load balancing with Nginx and Apache HTTP Server

  • Session management and sticky sessions

  • JNDI and JDBC connection pooling

  • Logging and log file customization

  • Memory management and thread monitoring

  • Performance tuning and troubleshooting

  • Running Tomcat on AWS and Google Cloud

  • Frequently asked Tomcat interview questions

Configuring a production server can be confusing for beginners. This course simplifies complex Tomcat concepts through practical, step-by-step demonstrations so that you can understand not just what to configure, but why it matters.

Bonus supplementary lectures are also added from time to time based on student demand, including interview preparation, cloud deployment, and real-world troubleshooting topics.

So, if you have completed a Java programming course, Java bootcamp, Servlet/JSP course, or Spring course, this is the next important step: learning how to take your Java application from development to production.

By the end of this course, you will have the practical knowledge required to deploy, secure, monitor, tune, and administer Apache Tomcat servers in real-world environments.

Who this course is for:

  • Any one who wants to learn about the working of Apache Tomcat server from scratch.
  • It is also useful for people who are in operational support and need to know the advance concepts of Tomcat
  • Java students who have finished a Java Masterclass or Web Development Bootcamp and want to learn professional Tomcat deployment.
  • Java Developers who know Java syntax and Object Oriented Programming but struggle with server-side configuration, WAR file deployment, and DevOps.
  • Backend Engineers and System Administrators looking to master Apache Tomcat.
