I read the Sun's J2EE tutorial and WebObjects's J2EE documents briefly. EJB
is nothing but just EOF, Servlet is similar to WO component, and both J2EE
and Webobjects has its own application server. The problem is most
interviewers don't have time or interested in letting me to explain what
WebObjects is. Their question is how many years of J2EE experience I have.
They expect a numerical answer, nothing more.
