J2EE

J2EE is an abbreviation of "Java 2 Platform: Enterprise Edition," a technology developed by Sun Microsystems.

This Java platform is used to create multitier applications, separating user interfaces (such as a web page) from system programs (such as a program designed to access a database and do calculations). These applications are typical of large enterprises.
