I was always under the impression that an application server is "J2EE" if it has containers for all of the java specifications that make up a specific J2EE version.
An application is J2EE if it can be deployed and run in a J2EE server. The application doesn't have to use all of the specs that make up J2EE. i.e. It can be just an ear file containing a single "war", or it can be a "service" application made up entirely of Messaged Driven Beans. -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet API Technology.

Whatever Sun's marketing people actually say. Does anyone actually like ear's btw? Whenever I've built an ear it's always been a giant pain. This is another symptom of Java's divorce from the operating system.
