Preface

This document introduces and explains the Oracle implementation of JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology, specified by an industry consortium led by Sun Microsystems. It summarizes standard features but focuses primarily on Oracle implementation details and value-added features. An overview of standard JSP technology is followed by discussion of the OC4J implementation, JSP configuration, basic programming considerations, JSP strategies and tips, translation and deployment, JSP tag libraries, and globalization support.

JavaServer Pages technology is a component of the standard Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). The J2EE component of the Oracle Application Server is known as the Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J).

The OC4J JSP container in Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) is a complete implementation of the Sun Microsystems JavaServer Pages Specification, Version 1.2.

This preface contains the following sections:

Audience

This document is intended for developers interested in creating Web applications based on JavaServer Pages technology. It assumes that working Web and servlet environments already exist, and that readers are already familiar with the following:

While some information about standard JSP technology and syntax is provided in Chapter 1 and elsewhere, there is no attempt at completeness in this area. For additional information about standard JSP features, consult the Sun Microsystems JavaServer Pages Specification or other appropriate reference materials.

The JSP 1.2 specification relies on a servlet 2.3 environment, and this document is geared largely toward such environments (also considering some JSP 1.1 backward compatibility issues). The OC4J JSP container has special features for earlier servlet environments, however.

For documentation of tag libraries and utilities that are provided with the OC4J product, please refer to the Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE JSP Tag Libraries and Utilities Reference.

For a quick primer about getting started with JSP pages in OC4J, see the Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE User's Guide.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
