By the end of the guide, a fully functional J2EE application should be developed and deployed on a J2EE server. Only open source Java software is used.Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03756808640656791652noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303294490267595170.post-33417660193067180012007-07-20T16:34:00.000-04:002007-07-02T22:49:19.114-04:00The goal is to develop a full functional J2EE application with all Java open source tools and $0 Java software cost.
