The History of Enterprise Java

In this chapter, we will look at the history of Java EE and Jakarta EE. Since its inception, Java enterprise technology has had several names – starting as J2EE, then being rebranded as JEE, followed by Java EE, and finally, Jakarta EE.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • What is Java EE, and why was it created?
  • Web servers versus application servers
  • Java EE 5, the first user-friendly version
  • The history of key features added in Java EE since version 5

By the end of this chapter, you will have a better understanding of Java EE and Jakarta EE in a historical sense, and you will know some of the key features added to Java EE. Changes to Jakarta EE will be discussed in subsequent chapters.
