application server and what can u do with it??
Thnx someone.....
J2EE is a standard that defines a set of Java APIs that perform certain
services. The main components are:
- Servlets/JavaServer Pages: These are Web components that dynamically
render HTML and perform some processing.
- Enterprise JavaBeans: These are 'business' components of an application.
- Java Message Service: A way to asynchronously send messages.
There are other components, too. An application server can be thought of
as a implementation of J2EE. All J2EE technically is, is a detailed
specification. Application server vendors implement their own version.
Sun has the Sun Java System Application Server 8, which is the
"reference implementation" - a fully functional implementation created
by Sun. You may also see this referred to as the "J2EE RI".
An application server provides a set of containers that your application
runs in.
