The Java Pet Store is a popular J2EE example application in the J2EE Blueprints series,
created by Sun Microsystems. It models an e-commerce application where customers can purchase pets online using a Web
browser.
The purpose of this application is to demonstrate the capabilities of
the J2EE platform and is written for learning purposes (for example to illustrate the many different
design patterns on various part of J2EE). It is not coded for performance and
is not intended for performance benchmarks.
The Java Pet Store 1.3.2 follows the J2EE 1.3 specs which is a set of related specifications
and can be seen as a single standard for implementing and deploying enterprise applications.

- How to use Java Server Pages (jsp).
- How to use Java Servlets.
- How to use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB).
- How to use Java Message Service (JMS).
