ABSTRACT
This is a discussion on the challenges and a possible solution of Enterprise Application Development. Such challenges include scalable design, distributed accessibility, programming productivity, response to demand, integration with existing systems, freedom to choose a solution, platform independence, and maintainability of security.

The discussion presents Java2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE platform) as one of the best suitable solution tools for building a distributed enterprise application. J2EE platform provides a multi-tier distributed application model, making it possible to run various parts of an application on different devices. Various component technologies of J2EE (EJB, XML/HTML, JSP, JMS, JavaMail, applet, servlet, JDBC, JTA, JNDI, RMI, etc.) will be presented. A sample prototype of an Enterprise Application will be demonstrated with steps on design, development, assembly, and deployment of the application.
