Hello,

I am taking a job this summer where I will be working on a web 
application created using J2EE. I know Java, however, I do not know JSP, 
EJB, servlets, etc. To correct this, I am planning on installing a java 
server onto my linux computer in order to learn the technology.

The question that I have is which would be better to install - Tomcat, 
JBoss, JRun, Oracle 9i AS?

I do not know what server the company is running. The point of this 
little exercise is twofold: (1) to learn JSP and related technology and 
(2) to learn the server side of things as well. I realize that the 
easiest way to achieve #1 would be to install Tomcat, however, I am not 
sure if this would sastify my second goal.

I would like to know what other people think about the above servers and 
which would be the best to install.

chris
