Because J2EE can be deployed everywhere where you need scalability.

2-tier (client-server) is not enough anymore, you know. How can you achive load balancing with client-server architecture? How can you achieve dynamic redeployment (software upgrades while the system is running)? Fail-over? Clustering? Message-oriented architecture?

Oomph...

J2EE already has successfull applications in the following areas: banking (big here in Frankurt!), stock trading, procurement (SAP), customer support (Dell), insurance...

Looks like a pretty successfull technology to me. Received on Tue Jun 11 2002 - 09:25:05 CDT
