OracleJSP Extensions

This chapter discusses extended functionality offered by OracleJSP, covering the following topics:

• Portable OracleJSP Programming Extensions

• Oracle-Specific Programming Extensions

• OracleJSP Application and Session Support for Servlet 2.0

Portable extensions are provided through Oracle's JSP Markup Language (JML) custom tags, JML extended datatypes, SQL custom tags, and database-access JavaBeans. You can use these features in other JSP environments.

Non-portable extensions are those that require OracleJSP for translation and execution.

Extended application and session support for servlet 2.0 environments is supplied through Oracle globals.jsa functionality and also requires OracleJSP.
