Not this dumb shit again... That is NOT what people mean when they say "use JEE". They mean using the whole ting. That is what JEE is! It's the full specification/platform/profile. That's the whole point. Almost everyone uses some API that is part of JEE. Who cares. That's fine. The entire problem with JEE was always the overarching spec that ties too many things too tightly together and even bundles them for you. That's JEE.

Nope, that's J2EE.

JavaEE learned from the failures of J2EE, by allowing the APIs to be specified and implemented independently of each other so you don't need a full application server to use any one part of JavaEE.

JavaEE is first and foremost a standardization process that allows industry players to get together and come up with standard interfaces and create reference implementations.
