The technological bloat, complexity and high cost of traditional Java Enterprise servers combined with the portability of Spring architected applications are driving businesses to consider a more lean approach to enterprise Java. Tomcat has become the most popular server for running enterprise solutions but how can you tell if your application is ready to make the switch and what is the best way to move to a lighter solution? This presentation discusses the factors involved with using Tomcat in an enterprise setting and provides a practical guide for migrating your production systems to a leaner solution. |

In the past, deploying Apache Tomcat in medium and large enterprise environments presented significant challenges due to the rudimentary management tools in Apache Tomcat. But no longer. SpringSource provides an enterprise version of Apache Tomcat, complete with all the enterprise features necessary for managing large scale Apache Tomcat deployments. This webinar outlines the features of SpringSource tc Server that make it a viable option for development and operations staff. You’ll learn tc Server’s and Apache Tomcat's capability for:

Your business applications provide all the components that do the real work for your enterprise and use Tomcat as the engine to power that work. How can you ensure that your applications on Tomcat are managed properly? How do you cycle application updates over a group of more than twenty server instances? How do you determine the failure of application whether it is during start-up, execution or application shutdown? This presentation covers the critical factors to consider when managing applications on Tomcat and SpringSource tc Server, and provides practical guidelines for operations staff responsible for application uptime. |

A default Apache Tomcat installation is secure but each installation environment is different and may have additional security requirements. This presentation will examine the security configuration options available in Apache Tomcat and SpringSource tc Server, when to use them (and when not to use them) and the threats they might help mitigate. The rationale behind having resource passwords (e.g. for database access) in clear text in server.xml will also be discussed. |

The combination of Spring powered enterprise applications and Tomcat production systems are driving the new lean software movement, removing complexity from Java solutions, and lowering costs for thousands of organizations. Collecting, organizing and understanding performance metrics for Spring-based applications is critical to the success of these initiatives and has never been easier than it is today with the enterprise version of Tomcat, SpringSource tc Server. This presentation will cover:
