About J2EEJ2EE is the industry standard for developing portable, robust, scalable and secure server-side Java applications. Building on the solid foundation of Java SE, Java EE provides web services, component model, management, and communications APIs that make it the industry standard for implementing enterprise class service-oriented architecture (SOA) and web 2.0 applications.
Java EE Web Application Technologies1.Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE)Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a set of coordinated technologies and practices that enable solutions for developing, deploying, and managing multi-tier, server-centric applications. Building on Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE), Java EE adds the capabilities that provide a complete, stable, secure, and fast Java platform for the enterprise. Java EE significantly reduces the cost and complexity of developing and deploying multi-tier solutions, resulting in services that can be rapidly deployed and easily enhanced.
2.JavaServer Pages Standard Tag LibraryThe JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL) encapsulates as simple tags the core functionality common to many Web applications. JSTL has support for common, structural tasks such as iteration and conditionals, tags for manipulating XML documents, internationalization tags, and SQL tags. It also provides a framework for integrating existing custom tags with JSTL tags.
3.Java ServletJava Servlet technology provides Web developers with a simple, consistent mechanism for extending the functionality of a Web server and for accessing existing business systems. A servlet can almost be thought of as an applet that runs on the server side--without a face. Java servlets make many Web applications possible.
4.JavaServer FacesJavaServer Faces technology simplifies building user interfaces for JavaServer applications. Developers of various skill levels can quickly build web applications by: assembling reusable UI components in a page; connecting these components to an application data source; and wiring client-generated events to server-side event handlers.
Java EE Enterprise Application Technologies1.Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology is the server-side component architecture for the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) platform. EJB technology enables rapid and simplified development of distributed, transactional, secure and portable applications based on Java technology.
2.J2EE Connector ArchitetureThe J2EE Connector architecture provides a Java technology solution to the problem of connectivity between the many application servers and today's enterprise information systems (EIS).
