J2EE license
Hi All,
If I develop and implement a J2EE application for commercial use, do I need to buy any license from Sun? I just know Java is a free platform just not sure if use it for commercial use.
Regards,
Daniel

That's what I know, you may wait for other experts' opinions since I am not too sure ;)

Dave is right; Sun's J2EE is completely free, itself.. just be careful however when using some IDE's - as most require a license for commercial use.
btw; full points to Dave.

Thanks for the posts, what webserver is the best for implementing the J2EE application and having the cheapest cost?
Well, I haven't worked extensively with J2EE much (I'm more of a J2SE man myself ;)), but I did find BEA WebLogic Workshop impressive... There is a free edition (that you can either download or order (also for free) on disk)... obviously, you'd be wanting the commercial version...
That's my 2cent; Dave has worked more with J2EE thank myself, so I'm sure his input on webserver's would be better than mine.

If you use J2EE from Sun, I think that it is free unless you want to use something like Bea WebLogic or IBM WebSphere then you need to pay for the license. In addition, as for your knowledge, Tomcat and JBoss are also free.
