Hello,

I am working in an orgainization as a Java Developer and working on a project
in mainteance from last 2-3 Years.

The Work in the project is of basically in ABAP and Core Java (Only Basic Java code is being used) is only being used as
in interface for the data sharing between ABAP and XML Editor.

But Most of the opening in Java for Experienced is in Struts/Hiberate/EJB and other frameworks
and J2EE.


Please help and give me direction is it worth to work in Core Java with XML and gain experience in that.

Should I study J2EE side by Side even it is not being used in project ???

Nowadays some frameworks like Spring / Struts / JPA have become a defacto must have skill for an experienced Java / JEE position. So it is better to be knowledgeable in these frameworks. No one prevents you from self learning.

Not at all. You start with the core Java, and then move on to Enterprise Java.
