Simple Web applications

The simplest way of providing Web-accessible applications using Java is to use Java servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs). These technologies form part of the Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE), although they can also be implemented in systems that do not conform to the Java EE specification, such as Apache Jakarta Tomcat:

Information about these technologies (including specifications) can be found at the following locations:

In this book we discuss Java EE 5, because this is the version supported by RAD v7.5 and IBM WebSphere Application Server v7.0. Java EE 5 supports Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1 specifications. Full details of Java EE 5 can be found at:
