# Preface

JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology, as specified by an industry consortium led by Sun Microsystems, is a component of the standard Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). The J2EE component of the Oracle Application Server is known as the Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J).

This document provides reference information as well as some conceptual material for JSP tag libraries and utilities included with OC4J in Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3). These libraries generally conform to the JSP specification.

For general information about the OC4J JSP implementation, including the JSP tag library framework, refer to the Oracle Containers for J2EE Support for JavaServer Pages Developer's Guide.

This preface contains the following sections:

## Intended Audience

This document is intended for Web application developers using servlet and JavaServer Pages technology. It assumes that working Web, servlet, and JSP environments already exist, and that readers are already familiar with the following:

- General Web technology

- Java

- HTML

- Java servlets

- JavaServer Pages

- Configuration of their Web server and servlet environments

- Oracle JDBC (for JSP applications accessing Oracle Database)

You can refer to the Oracle Containers for J2EE Support for JavaServer Pages Developer's Guide for background information about standard JavaServer Pages technology, the Oracle JSP implementation, and tag library support.

## 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.
