Java Web Application Learning Trail

What Is a Java Web Application?

A web application is an application that is accessed with a web browser over the Internet or an intranet. Java web applications are based on Java and often take advantage of such technologies as JavaScript, databases, and web frameworks such as JavaServer Faces, Struts, or Spring. Java Web applications are deployed to a web server like Tomcat, or if you want to use Java EE features like web services and enterprise beans, to a Java EE application server such as the GlassFish application server.
