Prerequisite Reading

Before consulting this Guide, you should read the Oracle8i Java Developer's Guide. This technical manual gives you the background information necessary to understand what Java in the database server really means. As well as discussing in depth the advantages of the JServer implementation for enterprise application development, it also provides a fundamental discussion of the JServer Java virtual machine and gives a technical overview of the tools that are provided with JServer.

In addition, the Oracle8i Java Developer's Guide discusses the strategic advantages of the distributed component development model that is implemented by both EJBs and CORBA.

The Oracle8i Java Developer's Guide is available in both HTML and PDF formats on the distribution Compact Disc and is also available on the JServer web site. For the most up-to-date information about the location of the developer's guide, see the README that accompanies this product.
