You should be comfortable with the material in the Java Tutorials.
I think that is too much to expect before attempting
J2EE. My view* is somewhat closer to Arne's.
..Some
stuff covered in the tutorials is unnecessary for J2EE (e.g. Sound,
An 'AudioFileConverter' servlet may convert an uploaded
sound to a different format for download.
Graphics
A 'GraphLatestTrends' servlet might use data coming from
a DB, churned through JFreeChart, to produce an image
based chart for a web page.
I would think that would involve the Graphics class
at some stage.
..), most of it's useful.
True, but how much of it is *necessary* before looking
at servlets?
* I think you should be confident with the language
constructs and form, and working with the SDK toools,
before attempting J2EE. But then if you are
interested in an existing codebase, go for it and
chase back any reference to a J2SE class with which
you are not familiar - through the JavaDocs and
Java Tutorial.
