J2EE
J2EE, or the Java 2 Platform,
Enterprise Edition, is a standard for development
of enterprise applications; one example is Enterprise
Java Beans (EJBs) with distributed capabilities.
Cloudscape Version 10 is
a J2EE-conformant component in a distributed J2EE
system. As such, it is one part of a larger system
that includes, among other things, a JNDI server,
a connection pool module, a transaction manager,
a resource manager, and user applications. (Cloudscape
also supports the JTA API, which is not a current
J2EE requirement, but this functionality provides
another piece of the same system.) Within this
system, Cloudscape can serve as the resource manager.
