@dragnucs I don't know what learning #Java / #J2EE / #JEE is like today, but it wasn't bad 15-20 years ago. Apache Tomcat, servlets, a little bit of JSP, the mod_jk connector from Tomcat to Apache Web Server. Using #JDBC to connect to MySQL 3.23 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Comparing servlets to Perl CGI and JSPs to PHP (which were topics in other classes I took).

Oh, and all the stuff Apache had, like Forrest, Cocoon, Gump, Batik, FOP. It was so interesting, so exciting. I never had the time (or sufficiently powerful computers) to explore them all, but I was certainly drawn to them.

@dragnucs Oh, I've never touched JBoss, so no idea how easy or hard it is to set up.
I am wondering whether #Oracle's #Java licensing push is going to kill the #JEE market except for inside the very largest corporations. I cannot imagine a medium sized organization that would want to risk a lawyer letter from ORCL.
