Chapter 2. Overview of J2EE
“It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English, up to fifty words used in correct context, no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.”
—Carl Sagan
IN THIS CHAPTER
This chapter is a brief introduction to J2EE, and is intended as background for the rest of the book. The actual J2EE specifications are quite extensive, and many books are dedicated to the topic of J2EE programming. Because this book is about adapters and the Java Connector Architecture (JCA), this overview focuses on topics and concepts useful for adapters.
