Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE Support for JavaServer Pages Reference Release 2 (9.0.2) Part Number A95882-01 |
|
This document introduces and explains the Oracle implementation of JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology, specified by Sun Microsystems. It summarizes standard features, as specified by Sun, but focuses primarily on Oracle implementation details and value-added features.
The OC4J JSP container in Oracle9iAS 9.0.2 is a complete implementation of the Sun Microsystems JavaServer Pages Specification, Version 1.1, with many JSP 1.2-compliant features as well. There will be a fully 1.2-compliant release in the near future.
This preface contains these topics:
The Sample Applications chapter was removed for Oracle9iAS 9.0.2. Applications that were listed there are available in the OC4J demos, from either of the following locations:

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 1.1 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 1.1 features, consult the Sun Microsystems JavaServer Pages Specification, Version 1.1 or other appropriate reference materials.
Because the JSP 1.1 specification relies on a servlet 2.2 environment, this document is geared largely toward such environments, as well as some JSP 1.2 and servlet 2.3 features. The OC4J JSP container has special features for earlier servlet environments, however, and there is special discussion of these features in Appendix B as they relate to servlet 2.0 environments, particularly Apache JServ, which is included with the Oracle9i Application Server.
For documentation of tag libraries and utilities that are provided with the OC4J product, please refer to the Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE JSP Tag Libraries and Utilities Reference (although an overview is provided here, in "Overview of Tag Libraries and Utilities Provided with OC4J").
For a quick primer about getting started with JSP pages in OC4J, see the Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE User's Guide.
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. Standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle Corporation 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.
