[Link] EE Architecture Overview
Java EE (Jakarta EE) provides a structured approach to building
scalable, secure, and enterprise-grade applications. Java EE
follows a multi-tier architecture, consisting of several
layers:
✅ 1️⃣Presentation Layer (Client Tier)
Technologies: JSP, JSF, Servlets, REST APIs, JavaScript (for
front-end)
Role: Handles user interactions and requests from browsers
or mobile applications.
Deployment: Runs in web browsers or as standalone
applications.
✅ 2️⃣Business Layer (Enterprise Tier)
Technologies: Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), CDI (Contexts and
Dependency Injection)
Role: Implements business logic, transaction management, and
security.
Deployment: Runs inside an application server (GlassFish,
WildFly, Payara).
✅ 3️⃣Persistence Layer (Data Tier)
Technologies: Java Persistence API (JPA), Hibernate, JDBC
Role: Handles database operations and object-relational
mapping (ORM).
Deployment: Connects to relational databases (MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Oracle).
✅ 4️⃣Integration Layer
Technologies: JMS (Java Messaging Service), JAX-RS (REST
API), JAX-WS (SOAP API)
Role: Integrates external services, APIs, and legacy
systems.
✅ 5️⃣Security Layer
Technologies: Java EE Security, OAuth2, JWT
Role: Implements authentication, authorization, and
encryption.

2. Creating a Java EE Project with Maven
✅ Step 1: Create a new Java EE Maven project
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=[Link]
-DartifactId=javaee-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-
webapp -DinteractiveMode=false
✅ Step 2: Add Java EE Dependencies ([Link])
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax</groupId>
<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
<version>8.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
✅ Step 3: Build and Deploy the WAR File
mvn clean package
copy and paste in server folder

3. Core Java EE Components
✅ Servlets (Backend Controller)
Handles HTTP requests and responses.
@WebServlet("/hello")public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)throws ServletException, IOException {
[Link]().write("Hello, Java EE!");
}
}
✅ JSP (Frontend)
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to Java EE</h1>
</body>
</html>
