Building A J2EE App with Linux

Dejected @Work writes "If you think "Hello World" is always simple and boring try building it with a entity/session EJBs, a servlet, a JSP page, and a HTML home page on Linux. This tutorial shows you how to develop, test, run, and debug a complete J2EE application using Linux and WebSphere(trial download)."

j2ee and linux: the killer combo

[tps12]

This tutorial is an excellent starting point for people who want to get into J2EE. J2EE has quickly become one of the hottest new technologies on the market, and for good reason.

Some background for n00bs: J2EE == Java 2 Enterprise Edition, Java's flagship Java product. Ironically, "Java 2" actually refers to Java >= 1.2, but we'll let that slide. ;) In any case, the enterprise edition has proven the favorite environment for high-availability, low-latency business applications.

As for deployment platform, I have to say that Linux is the ideal Java platform. Both companies support open source, so the community has made sure the integration is tight and optimized for users that demand the performance of C++ with the ease of use of Python.

This tutorial would be of help to anyone trying to break into the software industry, and a boon especially to those interested in C# and .NET, which by all appearances will be to Java what Java was to Linux, minus X11 and plus COM.
