What is Java EE?

Question

What does Java EE really mean? When a company requires Java EE experience, what are they really asking for? Experience with EJBs? Experience with Java web apps?

Answer 1

Java EE is actually a collection of technologies and APIs for the Java platform designed to support “Enterprise” applications which can generally be classified as large-scale, distributed, transactional, and highly available applications designed to support mission-critical business requirements.

In terms of what an employee is looking for in specific techs, it is quite hard to say, because the playing field has kept changing over the last five years. It really is about the class of problems that are being solved more than anything else. Transactions and distribution are key.
