- The 3 Tier Architecture can be generatised further and this is demonstrated in the set of slides below. This set of slides discusses the architecture that is used by Java 2 Enterprise Edition. Use the link below to obtain these slides. Please review this set of slides and compare the approach to that used in the 3 Tier Architecture. Hoepfully you wil see that there are a number of advantages in the J2EE approach.
