I have many years of experience in Java including Swing, Servlet and JDBC, but have never programmed for a Java EE server.
Many job advertisements from large companies are specifically asking for Java EE experience. Are there specific skills or development environments that I should learn to qualify for these kinds of jobs?
Download JBoss and get to work on the sample applications in the documentation. If you’ve done java, you’re 95% there. Java EE adds the container and naming aspect to the java you already know and love. With the advent of EJB3, beans got a lot simpler as you only need a couple of annotations to get rolling with EJB. Java EE can be a bit daunting with the acronym soup of technologies available, but concentrate on the basics: EJB3, JNDI, JMS, data access (like Hibernate/JDO), and container basics.
