Spring + tomcat is built on J2EE, or at least it was 5 years ago when I worked on that stuff. The servlets API is part of J2EE.

- pjmlp 9y agoMany of the annotation based APIs from Spring are actually JEE as well.
- StevePerkins 9y agoThe whole "Spring is really JEE" retort is even more pedantic than the folks who insist on referring to "Linux" as "GNU/Linux". These days it's more fair to say that Spring "supports optional integration" with JEE API's. You can run modern Spring web/REST apps without a Servlet container. Spring doesn't care whether your ORM implements the JPA interfaces or not. Etc, etc... it's all slowly phasing out.
