Books: Java Platform, Enterprise Edition

Print-friendly Version

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE, formerly known as J2EE), is a standard architecture to define and support a multitiered programming model where thin-client applications invoke business logic that executes on an application server. With this model, developers can focus on solving business problems, leverage the power and speed of server-side technology, and leave the low-level programming details to the architecture.
