Enterprise (Java EE) applications
Enterprise applications (or Java EE applications) are applications that conform to the Java EE specification. Prior to Java EE 5, the specification name was J2EE. The term Java EE includes Java EE 5 and J2EE specifications.
Enterprise applications can consist of the following:
- Zero or more EJB modules (packaged in JAR files)
- Zero or more web modules (packaged in WAR files)
- Zero or more connector modules (packaged in RAR files)
- Zero or more SIP modules (packaged in SAR files)
- Zero or more application client modules
- Additional JAR files containing dependent classes or other components required by the application
- Any combination previously described.
A Java EE application is represented by, and packaged in, an EAR file.
