Server side Java - where to start -

i'm starting hang of client-side java programming, , understand java great developing stable server sides large amounts of traffic.

the problem i'm new server development, don't know start or information, despite java's documentation.

more specific questions:

• do know good, non-specific tutorials server-side java? i've seen tutorials google's cloud platform , netscape, don't want dependent on infrastructure.
• is common practice develop code in eclipse , "ship" server? said i've never done server-side development , i've tried learning little node.js.

thank in advance, hope these questions aren't wide-scoped.

i suggest start simple setup told us: eclipse + let's easy use tomcat.

if comes server side need create servlet shows allows access other application data server in format define or let's + client's define. suggest start familiar json. have little "startingpoint" you.

clone simple example serverside application: https://github.com/dominikangerer/java-gsonjerseyprovider provides simple structure json used framework ember , can easy modify structure defined there. (there blog entry http://lanora.io/2014/11/gson-jersey-provider/)

is common practice develop code in eclipse , "ship" server?

yeah it's totally common that. write server side code , export .war - tomcat or jetty example can deploy them , able run them on these application server.

do know good, non-specific tutorials server-side java? i've seen tutorials google's cloud platform , netscape, don't want dependent on infrastructure.

i love work jersey - it's understand code write. maybe try example provided ibm developersworks: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/wa-aj-tomcat/

for beginning may little of overhead after tried example (it should running right away) think idea of how create simple backend system java.
