## System Requirements

OracleJSP is a pure Java environment. The system on which you install it must meet the following minimum requirements.

operating system: | any OS that supports JDK 1.1.x or higher
Java version: | JDK 1.1.x or 1.2.x (Oracle recommends the most current version available for your platform, preferably JDK 1.1.8 or higher.)
Java compiler: | the standard `javac` provided with your JDK (You can, however, use alternative compilers instead.)
Web server: | any Web server that supports servlets
servlet environment: | any servlet container implementing the servlet 2.0 specification or higher

Note: The servlet library for your servlet environment must be installed on your system and included in the classpath in your Web server configuration file. This library contains the `javax.servlet.*` packages. For example, in an Apache/JServ environment (including Oracle Internet Application Server), you will need `jsdk.jar`, which is provided with the Sun Microsystems JSDK 2.0. In a Sun Microsystems JSWDK environment, you will need `servlet.jar` (servlet 2.1 version), which is provided with JSWDK 1.0. In a Tomcat environment, you will need `servlet.jar` (servlet 2.2 version), which is provided with Tomcat 3.1. Do not confuse JSDK (Java Servlet Developer's Kit) with JSWDK (JavaServer Web Developer's Kit). See "Configuration of Web Server and Servlet Environment to Run OracleJSP" for further discussion of classpath settings in a Web server configuration file.
