java app server,Java EE App Server Hello World

I am fairly comfortable with standalone Java app development, but will soon be working on a project using a Java EE application server.

Does anyone know of a straightforward how-to tutorial to getting a hello-world type application working in an application server? I'm (perhaps naievly) assuming that the overall approach is similar between different frameworks, so I'm more interested in finding out the approach rather than getting bogged down in differences between the different frameworks.

If you are not aware of a good guide, then could you post bullet-point type steps to getting a hello-world running?, i.e.

Download XX

Write some code to do YY

Change file ZZ

Other steps...

Note: Just because I have a windows machine at home, I would prefer to run if this could be run on windows, but in the interest of a better answer, linux/mac based implementations are welcome.

I would choose JBoss AS or GlassFish for a start. However I'm not sure what you mean by Java EE "Hello World". If you just want to deploy some JSP you could use this tutorial (for JBoss):

If you want to get further and do the EJB stack and/or deploy an ear-file, you could read the very good JBoss documentation:

In general you could also just do the basic installation and change or try the pre-installed example applications.

I currently have JBoss installed (on windows). I develop with Eclipse and use the Java EE server integration to hot deploy or debug my code. After you get your first code running you realy should have a look at the ide integration since it makes development/deploy roundtrips so much faster.
