Preface

This reference contains the syntax and description for Oracle8i JServer command-line tools.

## How This Reference is Organized

This book has the following two chapters:

- Chapter 1, "Tools" describes all of the tools that support Java development within Oracle8i version 8.1.7.

- Chapter 2, "Backwards Compatibility Tools" describes tools that have been deprecated for 8.1.7, but that still can be used for existing 8.1.6 Java development.

## Notational Conventions

This guide follows these conventions:

Italic | Italic font denotes terms being defined for the first time, words being emphasized, error messages, and book titles.
`Courier` | Courier font denotes Java program names, file names, path names, and Internet addresses.

Java code examples follow these conventions:

    { }
| Braces enclose a block of statements.
    //
| A double slash begins a single-line comment, which extends to the end of a line.
    /*  */
| A slash-asterisk and an asterisk-slash delimit a multi-line comment, which can span multiple lines.
    ...
| An ellipsis shows that statements or clauses irrelevant to the discussion were left out.
    lower case
| Lower case is used for keywords and for one-word names of variables, methods, and packages.
    UPPER CASE
| Upper case is used for names of constants (static final variables) and for names of supplied classes that map to built-in SQL datatypes.
    Mixed Case
| Mixed case is used for names of classes and interfaces and for multi-word names of variables, methods, and packages. The names of classes and interfaces begin with an upper-case letter. In all multi-word names, the second and succeeding words also begin with an upper-case letter.
