You originally said that your list was the virtual core of J2EE.  That's
what you said.  You call someone a pedant when you want to demean something
they taught you.  Anyway, for your "pedantic" purposes:

(*J*ava *2* Platform, *E*nterprise *E*dition) A platform from Sun for
building distributed enterprise applications. J2EE services are performed in
the middle tier between the user's machine and the enterprise's databases
and legacy information systems. J2EE comprises a specification, reference
implementation and set of testing suites. Its core component is Enterprise
JavaBeans (EJBs), followed by JavaServer Pages (JSPs) and Java servlets and
a variety of interfaces for linking to the information resources in the
enterprise.

The J2EE interfaces include JDBC for databases, JNDI for directories, JTA
for transactions, JMS for messaging, JavaMail for e-mail systems and JavaIDL
for CORBA connectivity. In December 1999, J2EE Version 1.2 was introduced as
the first formal release of the specification. In September 2001, Version
1.3 was released. Java Connectors are interfaces to a variety of legacy
applications

This is not difficult, but it is not Hiberate, Struts, etc. either.  If you
think this is "pedantic", perhaps I should point out that the whole trouble
here is based on your sweet sciolism.  You are right, we would not work well
together.  I am far too "pedantic" to work with anyone stuck on sciolism for
effect.
