Stop treating your Web Application Server as a black box.

Most Java developers press Run in their IDE and never think about what happens underneath. But the moment you need to configure a server from scratch, diagnose a production outage, or tune performance, that knowledge gap becomes a crisis.

WAS for Developers is a hands-on guide built from real-world experience - not theory. It covers the two servers you are most likely to encounter on the job: Apache Tomcat and JBoss/WildFly.

What you will learn:

  • Tomcat and JBoss/WildFly architecture from the inside out
  • Server configuration - connection pools, JNDI, data sources, and virtual hosts
  • Troubleshooting techniques for real production problems
  • Performance tuning - thread pools, JVM options, and garbage collection
  • Deployment strategies, logging, and security hardening
  • Migrating applications from Tomcat to JBoss
  • Real-world incident response scenarios and postmortems
Includes a JVM options cheat sheet, WAS error dictionary, and a configuration comparison covering WebLogic and WebSphere.

Written for working developers, by a working developer with 10+ years of enterprise Java experience.
