I have a servlet application with JPA and Vaadin, it's running on GlassFish server. Am I using Java EE here? Or is still Java SE?

1It's Java EE of course. If it's servlet application, SE don't have that kind of feature. But SE is the core of your program in java. – msagala25 Sep 06 '17 at 06:33

What do you hope to gain from the answer? How is this important? – Mark Rotteveel Sep 06 '17 at 06:34

Thanks! I was 99% sure, but I needed this 1% to be definitely sure. I know how stupid was this question, but it was important for me to know. – revolt Sep 06 '17 at 06:35

Why is it important to you? – Mark Rotteveel Sep 06 '17 at 06:36

Servlets are not part of Java SE, but of Java EE. So you are using Java SE and some parts of Java EE.

SE doesn't come with server or any other software stack so If your application is using above tools there is a higher chance that your application is using EE here.

3Glassfish isn't part of Java EE, it is (contains) an implementation of Java EE. – Mark Rotteveel Sep 06 '17 at 06:36

Indeed its an implementation of JAVA EE but it also comes as part of software stack with Java EE. – Umair Zahid Sep 06 '17 at 06:39

1Java EE is a set of specifications and interfaces, glassfish is an implementation. It is not Java EE itself (ask IBM, or other companies that offer competing implementations of Java EE). – Mark Rotteveel Sep 06 '17 at 06:42
