J2SE is geared towards providing core language features (I/O, text manipulation, variables, object semantics), standard utility classes that apply in a variety of settings (collections, mathematics), and features required for building client applications (GUIs, and some basic enterprise integration, including access to databases and naming services).

The J2EE application model is built on a division of labor into various tiers. The client presentation in a web browser, applet, or Java application is separated from server side logic in a JavaServer Page or Java Servlet and the business logic in a database or Enterprise JavaBeans.

The interfaces to each tier are standardized, allowing programmers with an understanding of the core J2EE concepts to easily apply their skills to any J2EE-based project.

The core of a J2EE application deployment is a J2EE-compliant application server.
