Relevant phrase: "I think." You have every right to think that. *I* think you're wrong. > Next, how about in industry? You mean, where Java EE adoption continues to increase and grow?

Wait... what? They use Tomcat... which is a Java EE servlet container. Yet Java EE isn't necessary? Even though they're apparently relying on it?

I think the problem here is that you have an axe to grind, and you don't know what Java EE actually is, despite that being crucial to the axe you're trying to work with. -- Joseph B.
