I would be of the opinion that ease of use and security has little to do with the underlying engine. You can write insecure, difficult to use software on anything - php, j2EE, .NET, perl.

Ease of use is a direct result of a conscious design effort (use cases, user stories, user monitoring). Security is a result of a combination of factors including design, infrastracture, best practices, security reviews, audit, technology, quality developers and testers and training

Actually I think J2EE is usually applied by most serious secure systems. Most banks (actually all the ones that I know) that support online transaction use j2ee. Another feature u will discover with their sites is simplicity and ease of use http://bankofamerica.com is an example.

Hi Paul,

The Equinox banking system that NIC, Fina Bank, CharterHouse Bank,
HFCK, etc use is a Java solution, built on SOA architecture and based
upon J2EE technology. Please product specs here:

There is no reason to limit use to IE.
