Having gone through a similar experience of needing to get up to speed with J2EE
a couple of years ago, the best thing is to just try to do it. Grab an existing
WinBoard-enabled Java chess engine and wrap a JSP or servlet interface to it and
try to call it from something outside. Do the same but make it an EJB
(stateless) session bean and call that from a JSP instead. Once you've gone
through this exercise you'll know more about J2EE than 90% of J2EE developers
do; you'll probably have a lot less hair unfortunately!
