None. I usually rely on the source code + javadocs. I might be biased but I find that most Java source code and documentations tend to be easier to read due to common practices employed by newer projects. I can only give you pointers to JavaEE 6 books (overall). Beginning GF3 is an OK introduction to JavaEE 6: http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-GlassFish-Experts-Voice-Technology/dp/143022889X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322951777&sr=8-2 http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-GlassFish-Experts-Voice-Tech... Oracle Tutorial (formerly SUN tutorial) for JavaEE 6 is another OK one (reviews were meh, but you've got limited choice so...) http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/ http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/ I saw Amazon has the print edition and another one to be in stock by mid 2012 (Advanced Java EE 6...) Here's another book covering Java EE6 (intro): http://www.amazon.com/Java-EE-GlassFish-Application-Server/dp/1849510369/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1322951777&sr=8-6 http://www.amazon.com/Java-EE-GlassFish-Application-Server/d... Seems to cover Servlet more than Apress book (first book). You probably would need to know JPA 2.0 (ORM) as well. And some more "best practices/real world-ish" tutorials: http://www.amazon.com/World-Night-Hacks-Dissecting-Business/dp/1447672313/ref=pd_sim_b_4 http://www.amazon.com/World-Night-Hacks-Dissecting-Business/...
