This guide is intended for users who want to gain basic knowledge about JEUS including its architecture and services.

This guide only describes the basic knowledge of the JEUS architecture and the services provided in JEUS. It is difficult to configure and control JEUS without having an understanding of the JEUS architecture. Since this guide does not cover everything about the architecture, refer to relevant documents for more information.

To understand JEUS, users need to have a basic knowledge about Java EE standard. For example, to understand JNDI, JMX, and JCA documents, the user needs to have a background knowledge about each standard. It is recommended for the user to first read documents related to the standard or other relevant documents.

This guide does not contain information about Java EE. It only covers information about JEUS.

This guide describes the JEUS server configurations and services. It consists of 8 chapters and 2 appendices.

This guide follows the UNIX style for all examples and screen configurations.

Users of other environments, such as Windows, can use this with a few considerations. For example, use the Windows style "\" as the directory delimiter instead of the UNIX style "/". Environment variables should also be changed to Windows style variables.

This guide primarily discusses Java, so most of the content should apply to all systems.
