| server-side Java applications and web services |
| The Java EE platform enables applications to access systems that are |
| outside of the application server. Applications connect to these systems |
| through resources. The \{product---name} infrastructure supports the |
| deployment of many types of distributed applications and is an ideal |
| foundation for building applications based on Service Oriented |
| Architectures (SOA). SOA is a design methodology aimed at maximizing the |
| reuse of application services. These features enable you to run scalable |
| and highly available Java EE applications. |
