Java/ J2EE Performance Tuning
Objective:: This prg helps to know to "performance tune" any type of Java program and make Java code run significantly faster. Ths course will help performance tuning process, right from such early considerations as setting goals, measuring performance, and choosing a compiler. This course will lay out a practical method for performance tuning of Web Applications and EJB's on BEA Weblogic and will help you evaluate how to deploy them in the real world to get the performance you need, and also to help you evaluate different approaches. Prerequisite:
Basic understanding of object oriented systems and Java.
Understanding of developing applications with Java and the J2EE.
Duration: 3 days Detailed Coverage:
Day 1 : What is Performance? Computational Performance RAM Footprint Startup Time Scalability Perceived Performance
