Glassfish Server Open Source Edition 5.0 is a reference implementation (RI) of Java EE 8 Specification. GlassFish Server Open Source Edition includes multiple interfaces. This VPAT covers the Web UI and CLI.
Note: When running the Microsoft Windows Operating System need to install Java access bridge to support assistive technologies.
Oracle's policy is to design, develop and test both products and documentation to be accessible. The recommended styles of testing for accessibility include: (i) algorithmic automated tests, (ii) human judgement tests such as tool-assisted tests, visual inspection and manual operation, and (iii) testing with assistive technology by people with and without disabilities. Additional information about Oracle's accessibility program is available on http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/accessibility/index.html
