Java for FOOD ! part-1

Java became popular with the Internet as a language of the World Wide Web. Life was added to the static HTML pages using Java script and with the CGI (Common Interface Gateway) simple databases can be performed and the results are displayed in the browser.
However these technologies are limited in the case of simultaneous accesses from very large number of users who can retrieve with quick response time.
SUN provides a solution to these problems in terms of server side architecture for Internet applications with the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition .

J2EE is a vendor standard for a set of software components which are basically created in Java programming language. To create cross platform Java programs a JDK or a Java Devlopment Kit is required which includes the software required to create and test Java applications and applets, the packages with the java classes that are a part of the basic configuration. The software can be accessed via the link http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
the software includes the java compiler, the Java runtime environment (Java Virtual Machine) for running the applications , the applet viewer for runnning the applets, a java debugger and other utilities.
