Arne, I certainly agree with your comment in general. Personally I like Java 
and many parts of JEE, but I'm not sure how "standard" Oracle solutions are. 
There are several JEE servers so there are a few options - Websphere, 
Weblogic, JBoss, Glassfish, ... I must be missing 1 or 2. But have you ever 
ported an EJB from 1 to the other? I have. Standard solutions just aren't that 
standard anymore.

The LAMP stack, JEE, Spring are all different ways to do similar things. 
Options are nice.
