Well done! You've already managed to discern the difference and
correctly identified the relevant technology.
Although I haven't read it, I'm going to go out on a limb and
suggest "Java Servlet Programming" by Jason Hunter, ISBN
0-596-00040-5.
O'Reilly has a well-earned reputation in the computer book
business and many of their tomes have become "the" standard
reference ("DNS and BIND" just to name one!).
If you need to bone up on JSPs (which are compiled down to
servlets) then I can highly recommend "Advanced JavaServer
Pages" by David M. Geary, ISBN 0-13-030704-1. It's published
by Sun Microsystems Press.
Finally, if you're going to do any Struts programming at all,
you'll need what I consider to be the bible: "Programming
Jakarta Struts" by Chuck Cavaness, ISBN 0-596-00328-5.
I'm afraid that I haven't found the definitive reference for
EJB programming, although I have a couple of volumes on the
bookshelf. They're contradictory in some places, complementary
in others, so it wouldn't be fair to cite either.
It goes without saying that you need to install a LOT of
software for educational purposes. Some RDBMS and a J2EE server
(perhaps JBoss <http://www.jboss.com/>) or a servlet container
(i.e. Tomcat <http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/>) should be
considered mandatory. If you're doing a lot of development then
you should seriously consider installing an IDE such as Eclipse
(<http://www.eclipse.org>).
And if you're using the Eclipse/JBoss combination then you
DEFINITELY NEED jboss-ide. They have one of the best tutorials
I've seen about the effective use of Xdoclets for generating
EJBs. You can find a copy here:
<http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/jboss/Tutorial-1.3.0.pdf>
It's going to take a lot of self-study to get up to speed on these
technologies but these suggestions should help you get started.
Good luck!
