Hi,
due to my work (Oracle DB, Tomcat,Jboss) I need to learn Java.

I already loaded on my Kindle all the Oracle's site tuttorial.

Now I'd like to know if there's a book/site/tutorial/howto that I can use.
My background is some C/C++ (at university ), Python (for fun) and perl/bash for work reasons (alongside sed/grep/awk and regexp)

Thanks for your time

Oracle's tutorial is a good start.

I like O'Reilly book:

You will also need a primer on Servlets and JSPs.

<http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Servlets-JSP-Certified/dp/0596005407>


There's lots to learn besides those two. However, they will get you
started.

You really should get a book about Java.

There are lots of books about Java.

My suggestion would be to go to Amazon, search for Java books
and read description and reviews for each.

After a little search, i found these books

)Java Precisely,Peter Sestoft

)Agile Java: Crafting Code with Test-Driven Development, Jeff Langr

) Core Java Volume I--Fundamentals di Horstmann, Cay S. ; Cornell, Gary (2012, 9th edition)

Now I need something on Tomcat/Jboss..

Why?

Your Tomcat doc says:

#There are several parts to Tomcat. Tomcat itself is the supervisor. It
#hosts Catalina to serve as a womb for Servlets. It hosts Jasper to
#handle JSP (Java Server Pages). It hosts Coyote to handle vanilla HTTP
#(Hypertext Transfer Protocol) serving. However, it is common for
#people to add on the Apache HTTPD Web server version 2.4.3 for high
#performance HTTP serving. It runs beside, not under Tomcat.

"supervsior" ??

"womb" ??

For the Java relevant portion:
- the httpd run in front of Tomcat not at the side
- often the purpose is different from high performance

Your JBoss doc says:

#JBoss
# formerly called EJBoss. An open-source EE-compliant EJB server.

"An ... EJB server" ??
