This paper presents several experiences and conclusions about the usage of the J2EE middleware platform in an e-commerce mediation framework, and introduces mobile agent possibilities within the same environment. The main conclusions are taken from the Smart-EC project, where J2EE and mobility are considered as a value added in its architecture. Other advanced technologies such as XML based multi-device publishing and the utilisation of e-commerce ontologies to handle static and dynamic aspects of complex services or to control their transactional properties, are also considered in the project.
