The J2EE APIs are also available separate from the J2EE download and can be
used in enterprise applications that do not run on the J2EE platform. The
difference is J2EE applications are deployed to the J2EE platform, while
non-J2EE applications using the same enterprise APIs are deployed to a web
server, application server, database server, and/or Java virtual machine
independent of the J2EE platform.
These links take you to materials that describe the
enterprise APIs apart from the J2EE platform. You can use this
information in a J2EE or non-J2EE enterprise application as you wish.
