Java EE 5 Technologies

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE 5) focuses on making development easier, yet retains the richness of the J2EE 1.4 platform. Offering features such as JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology and web services APIs, Java EE 5 makes coding simpler and more straightforward, but maintains the power that has established Java EE as the premier platform for web services and enterprise application development.

The Java EE 5 SDK and Java Application Platform SDK provide support for Java EE 5 specifications, and the Java Application Platform SDK features additional runtimes such as Open ESB, Portlet Container, and Sun Java System Access Manager.

Want to learn more about the technologies that comprise the Java EE 5 platform? Here's a list of the technologies, and their specifications, for Java EE 5 — starting with the umbrella Java EE 5 specification. See the Java EE 6 page for the list of Java EE 6 technologies.

Specification downloads are the specs' final releases. Please check the individual JSR pages for download updates such as maintenance releases.
