Greetings. Not sure if I have the right forum. Feel free to move this to a more appropriate forum if you want.
I have programmed in
java client side for a few years now, I'd like to start into server side (
J2EE? Java EE?) but I could use a little guidance. Pardon if my terminology is incorrect
I am going on the assumption that it is a free download also. I'd like to install it on my Linux server (Debian Lenny). It's just a hobby server, If things get broken, I'll re-install no big deal. I already have apache/php/mySQL up and running.
At this point I'm really not sure what package I should be dealing with. On the download page...
http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jsp?userOsIndex=6&userOsId=windows&userOsName=Windows I see 5 packages. I'm assuming I don't need 1 because I have mySQL already. I suppose the choice is between 2 & 3, IS the JDK only if I will actually be sitting at the server doing my coding and compiling?
I looked at the tutorials and a couple of faqs, they don't really deal with deciding on packages.
