EJB Enterprise JavaBeans is an
architecture for setting up program
components written in the Java programming
language that run in the server parts of a
computer network that uses the client/server
model. Enterprise JavaBeans is built on the
JavaBeans technology for distributing program
components to clients in a network. Enterprise
JavaBeans offers enterprises the advantage of
being able to control change at the server
rather than having to update each individual
computer with a client whenever a new
program component is changed or added. EJB
components have the advantage of being
reusable in multiple applications. To deploy an
EJB Bean or component, it must be part of a
specific application, which is called a
container.

J2EE Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition is a
Java platform designed for the
mainframe-scale computing typical of large
enterprises. Sun Microsystems, together with
industry partners such as IBM, designed J2EE
to simplify application development in a thin
client tiered environment.
JDBC Java Database Connectivity is an
application program interface (API)
specification for connecting programs written
in Java to the data in popular databases. The
application program interface lets you encode
access request statements in the structured
query language (SQL) that is then passed to
the program that manages the database. It
returns the results through a similar interface.
JDBC is very similar to the SQL Access
Group's Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)
and, with a small bridge program, you can use
the JDBC interface to access databases
through the ODBC interface.
JNDI Java Naming and Directory Interface
enables Java platform-based applications to
access multiple naming and directory
services. Part of the Java Enterprise
application programming interface (API) set,
JNDI makes it possible for developers to
create portable applications that are enabled
for a number of different naming and directory
services, including file systems, and directory
services, such as Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP), Novell Directory
Services, and Network Information System
(NIS), and distributed object systems, such as
the Common Object Request Broker
Architecture (CORBA), Java Remote Method
Invocation (RMI), and Enterprise JavaBeans
(EJB).
JSP Java Server Page is a technology for
controlling the content or appearance of Web
pages through the use of servlets, small
programs that are specified in the Web page
and run on the Web server to modify the Web
page before it is sent to the user who
requested it.
