New to Java EE , which app. server to choose?
Hi,
I'm new to Java EE and actually started learning it a few days ago. I know Java SE well and now decided to dive into enterprise edition. I want to know about the difference between application servers (tomcat, sun app server, websphere, ...) and how I can make a good choice.
By the way, although I don't know whether it matters or not, I have to mention that I tend to use NetBeans as the development environment.
Thanks in advance.

Tomcat isn't an app server, just a servlet container. Pick the one your future employer is most likely to use, or just use multiple ones.

What part of JEE do you want to learn? If it's just JSPs and servlets, get Tomcat. If it's the rest, get JBoss or maybe Sun One - it's not like you can avoid downloading it nowadays anyway.

Then I suggest to use the Java EE 5 Tools Bundle from the NetBeans download side. It contains the Sun Java System Application Server Platform which is based on GlassFish, as far as I know - the only full Java EE 5 application server I know of. It will register everything correctly and you're ready to start.
