To me that sounds a bit contradictory: a big picture for me is a high level overview where I can see all parts - just very abstract. A live demo may also show a complete application but you will see a lot of details. > Reading some Java code samples detached from a quick hands-on > playground is just not for me.

Really all? Besides the already mentioned JEE technologies that would also include CSS, JavaScript, potentially a UI framework like AngularJS or ExtJS, XPath, knowledge about HTTP(S), maybe even load balancing and proxies. The landscape is quite huge. The key question is: what is your goal, i.e. what do you want to do with the knowledge you gain? > I just came across one book "Professional Java for Web Applications" > that has many of the things I am looking for, like it provides demos > for each chapter and the names of free software used to run them.

Another way to waste time would be to search for the perfect book... ;-) Cheers robert -- remember.guy do |as, often| as.you_can - without end http://blog.rubybestpractices.com/
