    Because J2EE is slow to develop in, and slow at executing?

    One of the criteria was fast development and turnaround time, as they need to stay ahead of competition. J2EE is beautiful in theory, but not in practice. Anyone with that only on their resume will have to shape up the next years, when PHB's stop buying that particular buzzword and move on to the next.
