JEUS manuals:
Are intended for Java EE professionals who understand Java and Java EE technology.
Are organized into individual and loosely related documents.
Generally follow a standard document format.
Knowledge of Java and Java EE technologies is required to understand this document. Useful online documents and specifications are available at the Java website, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html. JEUS manuals do not cover all the information described in the Java EE specifications, but only include JEUS related information.
The following figure shows the complete document organization of the JEUS manuals. The arrows indicate the preferred order of reading for the first-time users. The JEUS manual is made up of documents.
The contents of each document are outlined in the following list. Refer to this list to quickly locate a specific topic.
