Here is a quote from the JBoss data sheet - "JBoss Application Server is a standards-based, J2EE platform". So you can see that J2EE is an industry wide "marketing" term, not just from Sun. All the developers of Java Application Servers use the J2EE term and define it in the same way including Sun, IBM, BEA and open source products such as JBoss. The definition includes JMS, JNI, JMX, JSP, JTA, and so forth, as well as of course EJB.

That is mostly correct, actually. At least it is such a -common- misunderstanding that talking about it otherwise is just plain non-interesting.
J2EE is to most people when you use a Enterprise Bean Container, thus EJBs. Without that massive thing, you don't have -any- of the hassle that J2EE stands for. J2EE is when you use the full EAR-filetype.

I wouldn't say so at all: you don't have the Bean Container. You have only -plain java- (J2SE), running e.g. Tomcat, and the -one- jar "servlet.jar". This doesn't hype it all the way up to J2EE levels. At all.
And as Nic points out: the initial Servlet spec is -way- older than the J2EE name and distinction.
