Java

The Java language is commonly used with the enterprise edition of the Java platform on the server-side to create the application logic, or "business tier" for multi-tiered applications. The business tier can use various Java technologies to connect to the data tier. And, while you can use Java technologies to write the client-tier, Flex allows you to create more dynamic, interactive, and compelling clients that are viewable on more computers.

• Java is a virtual machine that can be used to create platform-independent software. Software created in Java can run on any hardware that supports the Java Virtual Machine.
• In web development, Java can be used as either a client-side or server-side programming language.
• When Java is used on the client side, we're generally talking about Applets, which can run on a browser with Java support.
• When Java is used on the server side, we're probably thinking JSP or [FLEX or SPRING or HIBERNATE] to create framework-based web applications or to create web services.
