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)."

  1. J2EE overkill by oops · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The problem I see repeatedly with J2EE adoption is the insistence of developers to use every facet of the API. That means EJBs, JSPs, servlets, JMS (messaging), transaction services etc. People don't seem to realise that J2EE is a set of APIs, and a simple servlet/JSP/JDBC solutions is just as 'J2EE'-compliant as a full bean-driven, JTA-enabled solution.

    To ease yourself in, start with servlets and JSP (obviously for web-enabled apps). Then start adding beans (stateless session then stateful session and then entity), etc. Don't hope to throw every Java-enabled TLA together and hope for a performant J2EE solution!
