JEUS Manual Organization

This chapter describes the JEUS manuals and abbreviations used in the manual. Read this chapter carefully because it contains important information about the JEUS manual.

1. Overview

JEUS manuals can be accessed in the following three ways.

  • HTML documents provided with the software.

  • PDF files on the JEUS installer CD.

    Viewing a PDF require Adobe Acrobat Reader or another application that can read PDFs. Visit Download Adobe Reader to download the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

  • Updated software or guides in the TechNet site of TmaxSoft (TechNet).

JEUS manuals:

  • Are intended for Jakarta EE professionals who understand Java and Jakarta EE technology.

  • Are organized into individual and loosely related documents.

  • Generally follow a standard document format with a few exceptions.

  • Are structured in a wide variety of ways.

Knowledge of Java and Jakarta EE technologies is required to understand this document. Useful online documents and specifications are available at the Java website, Oracle Technical Documentation. JEUS manuals do not cover all the information described in the Jakarta EE specifications, but only include JEUS related information.
