That is mostly correct, actually. At least it is such a -common-
misunderstanding that talking about it otherwise is just plain
non-interesting.

J2EE is to most people when you use a Enterprise Bean Container, thus
EJBs. Without that massive thing, you don't have -any- of the hassle that
J2EE stands for. J2EE is when you use the full EAR-filetype.

I wouldn't say so at all: you don't have the Bean Container. You have only
-plain java- (J2SE), running e.g. Tomcat, and the -one- jar "servlet.jar".
This doesn't hype it all the way up to J2EE levels. At all.

And as Nic points out: the initial Servlet spec is -way- older than the
J2EE name and distinction.
