Analogues of Java and .NET technologies/frameworks

.NET –> Java

Java –> .NET

  • EJB ~= MTS/COM+
  • WebSphere AS, GlassFish, JBoss AS are all concrete Java EE API implementations. The .NET equivalent would be IIS with at least MTS/COM+ support (is there by the way competition for IIS?).
  • Tomcat is a webcontainer aka servletcontainer, it only implements the Web Component part of the huge Java EE API (basically only the javax.el and javax.servlet parts, the JSP/EL and Servlet API). The .NET equivalent would be still IIS, but then without support for MTS/COM+, mail, message queue, persistence and more. I.e. only a simple web server for pure “Classic ASP”.
