Java technology readily harnesses the power of the network because it is both a programming language and a selection of specialised platforms. As such, it standardises the development and deployment of the kind of secure, portable, reliable, and scalable applications required by the networked economy. Because the Internet and World Wide Web play a major role in new business development, consistent and widely supported standards are critical to growth and success.

The Java programming language allows the development of powerful, enterprise-worthy programs that run in the browser, from the desktop, on a server, or on a consumer device. Java programs are run on (interpreted by) another program called the Java Virtual Machine (Java VM). Rather than running directly on the native operating system, the program is interpreted by the Java VM for the native operating system. This means that any computer system with the Java VM installed can run a Java program regardless of the computer system on which the application was originally developed.

The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) defines the standard for developing multitier enterprise applications. The J2EE platform simplifies enterprise applications by basing them on standardised, modular components, by providing a complete set of services to those components, and by handling many details of application behavior automatically, without complex programming.
