That's more "J2EE Light" than J2EE, though. Indeed, there was some
article I read recently which warned enterprises about buying into the
whole J2EE thing when they're only really interested in JSP and
related stuff.

Perhaps PSP within Webware is what you're looking for. However, as
Gerhard Häring almost pointed out, there is a vague comparison of
solutions at...

Arguably, Webware and Zope are closest to delivering some kind of
platform supporting a range of activities comparable to J2EE, but
unlike database connectivity with the DB-API, for example, there's no
consensus on how such activities are to be carried out in
applications, let alone any standardisation.
