Especially between the years 2001 - 2004, web appplcations were my entire focus, full time. Starting with my first app written in servlets in 2000, and quickly migrating to the Expresso framework and then to purs Struts apps, I have worked almost exclusively with apps running on the Tomcat app server.

If you read the automation section, I tell there were I wrote a web application that writes web applications, and published some 30 generated applications into the public domain.

An early proponent of frameworks within the local user's groups, I introduced many to both Expresso and later Keel as they began to roll out.

I have also used WebSphere, BEA[?] JBoss, app servers.

j2EE is NOT my favorite approach for writing apps, as of the fall of 2004. With WebStart and Swing, or any other combination of WebStart and desktop apps such as SWT, it is possible to offer much more functionality than with a browser based app, even compared to all the latest buzz about AJAX.

I have not used EJBs, as have always used other forms to accomplish same task. See O/R tools, IOC.
