Hello. I am new to
J2EE in general and EJB in particular (I have done a wee bit with
JSP and
Servlets). This is my first post so please...be gentle. I bought HF EJB two nights ago and am following along reasonably well. I'm into chapter four now. But, so far all I've done is read along, I haven't been doing the excersises (yes..yes..I know..do them). So, I went back to the beginning of the book to find out how to get the stuff from Sun to do the Advice Guy excersise.
Am I spelling excersise correctly? Looks weird to me.
Anyway, I'm running Mac OS X, and there is no J2EE listed at Sun for Mac OS X (just Windows, Solaris and Linux). But I notice that in the book, all the screenshots have a Mac OS X window title bar (but the DeployTool GUI is very un-Mac OS X-like, which leads me to believe that Virtual PC is involved or some other such shenanigins). I guess my question is: can anybody tell me how I should go about this? I have been doing the JSP/Servlet programming on my Mac, but I cannot find any reference to EJBs in my frameworks and APIs. So I don't know If I "have" J2EE already, or if I just got JSP/Servlet functionality through installing
Tomcat.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Mike
