J2EE - Java 2 Enterprise Edition

J2SE - Java 2 Standard Edition

The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) defines the standard for developing multitier enterprise applications. J2EE simplifies enterprise applications by basing them on standardized, modular components, by providing a complete set of services to those components, and by handling many details of application behavior automatically, without complex programming.

Most people believe that J2EE is a product you buy from Sun as you would .Net from Microsoft. On the contrary, J2EE is a set of specifications, each of which dictates how various J2EE functions must operate. For example, the Java Transaction Service (JTS) specification identifies how to build a service that allows distributed transactions. Sun provides reference implementations for these specifications, which you can use for compliance testing.

  • J2EE n'est pas un produit vendu par Sun !
  • .Net est en revanche un produit Microsoft
