I only did a small amount of j2ee programming for a course I took in school,
but like all Java (or at least all Java I've experienced,) your code can be
written from a text editor.  I'm not sure about the accessibility of
glassfish. Wonder if the netbeans accessibility stuff works with it?
Eclipse is also handy for the j2ee code.

Subject: Java EE in terms of Accessibility and in General

Hi everyone,

On the Wikipedia article on Java there's a claim that on the server 
side, web oriented arena, ASP.NET and Java EE are in strong competition 
and rival each other quite equally in popularity, but that Java EE tends 
to be used more for highly distributed, security conscious systems. I 
can believe that since it corresponds to the on average more corporate 
look and feel of the few Java EE job postings I've noticed (and some 
other general feel I can gauge).

I don't know enough about Java EE yet, but it seems to me that it's more 
elaborate than ASP.NET and supporting MS .NET technologies, almost as if 
Java EE also offers frameworks of multi tiered setups and middle ware 
and all sorts of protocols.

Is anyone on the list an expert in Java EE perhaps? How accessible do 
you find the process of developing systems in Java EE? Would you 
recommend the technology?

Any other Java EE comments? It doesn't look like a quick and dirty 
solution to get a web based system up and running -- it looks very 
verbose and extensive, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Appart from just diving into it, can anyone recommend a learning trail 
one could follow to get into this type of Java development? Also, are 
there particular technologies in the EE stack that is now considered 
obsolete and not worth learning?

The Java language itself seems less feature rich than the latest C#, but 
that's also not necessarily a bad thing.
