It's just marketing nonsense.

In general, an application that programmers call a Web Application
will be written well, with a limited scope and clear functionality.

An application whose programmers refer to it as an Enterprise
Application will be written poorly, suffer from bloat, be partially
specified and be a general black hole for the software budget.


Less cynically, an Enterprise app could be said to be one which
integrated many of the technologies from J2EE.


But most commonly, an Enterprise app is considered to be one using
EJBs and possibly other J2EE stuff like Servlets, JSPs and Struts.
