Lots of Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) running on JRun or IBM WebSphere, IIS as the front-end web server, Microsoft SQL Server (or IBM DB/2) as the database server. Microsoft Windows NT servers or Sun Sparc servers.

Things weren't nearly as easy as they are now to deploy to servers.

Im a java dev, and it was all servlets, some early JSP's but time spent with early connection pools and early versions of tomcat

I always remember when EJB's first appeared on the scene as a cure all - but EJB1 wasnt. Session beans were ok - but Entity beans werent that great

We didnt unit test as much as we do now. There were early versions of junit - but it was difficult to configure in an enterprise environment. So you would go to workplaces and people would tell you they were testing - but then you look at the code and there were few tests
