Java Center - Oracle Help Technologies

The Oracle Help technologies provide the means for developing and displaying HTML-based help systems for Java applications and for web applications. Authors can create a single help system that can be displayed—without modification—both in a Java environment, using Oracle Help for Java (OHJ), and in a web environment, using Oracle Help for the Web (OHW). Alternatively, you can just use OHJ if you only need help in a Java environment, or you can just use OHW if you only need help in a web environment.

Oracle Help for Java (OHJ) is a set of Java components and an API for developing and displaying HTML-based help content in a Java environment. OHJ is designed primarily for displaying help for Java applications, although it can also be implemented as a stand-alone document viewer for use in a Java environment.

Oracle Help for the Web (OHW) is a Java servlet and an API for developing and delivering HTML-based help content in a web environment. OHW can be used to provide context-sensitive help for web applications or as means for processing and displaying structured views of independent HTML content on the web. With OHW, a user needs only a web browser to navigate and view help content. All the processing takes place on the server, via the OHW servlet. Because the help content is managed on a server and displayed in any number of web browsers, many users have access to a single installation of the help.
OHJ and OHW are available for free from this Web site. You may redistribute OHJ as the help system for your application at no cost, and you may implement the OHW servlet at no cost.
