J2EE Platform specification
The definition of the architecture consists of 4 elements:
- Platform Specification
- Application programming model
- Reference Implementation
- Compatibility Testsuite
The J2EE platform is a defined standard enviroment for running enterprise applications
that can rely on:
- a set of specified Java Services
- Internet Engineering Taskforce Standards
- CORBA Standards
- standardized deployment
All these standards and specifications together build up the Platform Specification. A
distinction is drawn within the J2EE platform between containers and application
components. Applications are build up of Components hosted by Containers at the runtime.
The Application programming model describes the approach of developing applications based
on the defined standard components.
