IDE

Get yourself the Netbeans IDE with the EE / Glassfish Bundle @ "http://netbeans.org/"

There is an EE and Web Tutorial section @ "http://netbeans.org/kb/trails/java-ee.html"

Oracle Java EE Technologies (All Free)

I find the JSR's are really good reference material and explanation of the technologies

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/tech/index.html

• JSR 250 - Common Annotations For EJB and web services you are going to need to get to grips with annotations
• JSR 315 - Servlet 3 Specification This is a good read to get up to spec with servlets
• JSR 318 - Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1 (Covers stateless, timers, singletons) Also excellent read for EJB's
• JSR 224 - JAX-WS - This is the technology used for defining web services

Packt Publishing (E-Books are really affordable) Here are some good books (Just search for Java EE)

• Java EE 6 Development with NetBeans 7
• Java EE 6 Cookbook for Securing, Tuning, and Extending Enterprise Applications
• Seam 2 Web Development: LITE

JBOSS.org "http://www.jboss.org"

• Seam project documentation

Red-Hat Access Portal

If you have a subscription to any JBoss / Red-hat product, there are good document for EAS (Enterprise Application Server) including a Seam reference
