Hello everyone,
There are a few terminologies I see in Java forums that I don't understand and would really love to now. So please any detailed explanations to the following terminologies would be greatly appreciated.
(1) J2EE
(2) Apache tomcat ( I like how this one sounds)
(3) Servlets
(4) EJB
(5) JSP
&
(6) Apache Cocoon.
J2EE = Java 2 Enterprise Edition
This is mostly used by businesses.
Apache tomcat - Not sure...but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with servers
Servlets = A part of Java, bascially you can create more powerful websites with these.
EJB = Enterprise Java Beans, java Objects that are used with J2EE systems.
JSP = Java Server Pages, Kinda like Servlets but different. This is Java's answer ASP(Active Server Pages)
Apache Cocoon = Not sure, but I think its some software.
