Re: mainframe career advice

I am currently learning Java and the next logical step to me seems to be to
learn J2EE and Websphere. What books, web resources or other resources
would you recommend for learning J2EE, Websphere and Rational toolset?

Most of the books I have read so far have discussed basic Java, Java
servlets and JSP. I read Just Java 5th ed. (Dec 2001) by Peter van der
Linden which discussed J2EE and Java Beans a little, but he said he could
not recommend any J2EE books at that time, so I have been concerned about
getting some "good" references. I also have his 6th edition to learn some of
the new Java features but in a quick scan I do not see any J2EE stuff and
the Java Bean chapter seems to have been removed .

Good luck on your project.
