Question

In the Oracle java site http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/downloads/index-jsp-140710.html,

There are Java EE SDK download and the Java EE Web Profile download.

Which one should I install?

Answer 1

The package of the oracle java site just a GlassFish Open Source Application Server, API Documentation and some sample codes .

The differences between web profile edition and the full edition is that the web profile edition only provides a subset of the Java EE platform .It is designed for web application development which only includes those technologies needed by most web application , and excludes those enterprise technologies that are typically don't needed by the web application (Like JMS and web services)
