Hi there!\n\nAs is generally the case with everything else (& especially with computers), there are no absolute answers. Both J2EE & .NET have thier own uses & (dedicated) users. \n\nThese two have similar features even as the implementation details differ. \n\nA crucial difference is that the .NET platform is proprietary to Microsfot whereas J2EE is "open" - not owned by any one company.\n\nThere are some good (though old) articles on the web that discuss this issue. You may want to refer to them\n\nRegards,\nReetesh
