To J2EE or not to J2EE

For all of you that do not know J2EE stands for Java 2 Enterprise Edition, and this was a wonderful release from the geniuses at Sun Microsystems this was released in around 1999 and for me many of the big telecoms companies were spending large sums of money at the time on Mobile Licenses
and preparing there budgets for spend on new and emerging web technologies (the pre-2000 dot.com boom), Java was just taking off and J2EE was the new set of tools that defined the path for using java on the web.

In Brief J2EE brought the emergence of the following:

IIOP/
RMI
JDBC
JTA
JNDI
JMS
JAVAMAIL

Suns official definition is here:

This was a important point as it brought the emergence of new open standards ways of bringing applications to the web.(not necessarily Java.
