1.6 Java EE compliance matrix
Java EE is an industry standard for developing portable, robust, scalable and secure
server-side Java applications. Java EE provides Web services, component model,
management, and communications APIs that make it the industry standard for
implementing enterprise class service-oriented architecture (SOA) and next-generation
Web applications. A certified Java EE server provides standard interface for easy migration
and upgrading.
The Sun Java EE site at http://java.sun.com/javaee/ provides more information about Java
EE.
The latest Java EE specification is version 5 which was created under the Java Community
Process as JSR-244.
The current Community Edition release passed the Java EE 5 Compatibility Test Suite
(CTS) which is a suite of compatibility tests to verify if a Java EE platform product complies
with the Java EE 5 platform standard.
