J2EE, also known as Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition, is a set of guidelines that define standards of how applications can be built in the Java language. It is used for developing and building multi-tier web-based applications online.
The design allows for a simplified application development by standardising components that can be reused and can manage multiple forms of programming routinely. One of the many reasons why J2EE is a preferred tool in the IT industry is that it is a multi-layer framework, each tier can be allocated to several servers with minimal code changes which promote distributed application development.
Applications are written in J2EE for scalability, security and portability. J2EE supports HTML and Java applications amongst others.
Jobs that use J2EE include:
