I want to learn component development using EJBs. To help in this, I wanted to know a good setup(application server, database) which will be appropriate for a student so that he can concentrate on the concepts rather than putting much efforts on configurations.
Thanks in advance,

Regards
rudy

Wow, want to start a "Holy War"?

No actually ask 10 developers and you'll get 10 different answers.

The big thing is it depends. IMHO NetBeans with Sun Java Application Server and Derby is about the easiest.

Now, if your are interested in EJB 2.0, get the netbeans 5.0 if you are interested in the upcoming EJB 3.0 get 5.5 ensure you get the version that comes with Sun Java Application Server imbeded, it makes things a lot easier. Derby is included automatically.

Also, there are several good tutorials there to help you through the learning process.
