# Preface

This documentation provides detailed discussions on various facets of architecting, developing and packaging a J2EE-compliant application for deployment into Oracle Containers for J2EE, or OC4J. It summarizes standard implementation but focuses primarily on Oracle implementation details and value-added features. As much as possible, the focus is on Oracle-recommended best practices and guidelines.

This preface contains the following sections:

- Intended Audience

- Documentation Accessibility

- Related Documents

- Conventions

## Intended Audience

This document is intended for Java developers involved in building J2EE applications to be deployed into OC4J, or system architects designing such applications. It assumes that readers are already familiar with the following:

- J2EE and Web technologies

- The Java programming language

- Web server and servlet environment configuration

- Oracle JDBC (for JSP applications accessing Oracle Database)

## 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.
