#  Detailed Design of 508 Compliance

The Corporate Property Automated Information System (CPAIS) will adhere
to Section 508 demands as listed in the *Functional Requirements
Analysis.*

## 8.1 Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is to describe how features of Oracle 9*i*
will be used to implement compliance to Section 508, as delineated in
the CPAIS *Functional Requirements Analysis*. Developers should consult
the Oracle accessibility web pages, such as
<http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/index.html?overview.html> and
<http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/index.html?faq.html> for specific
tips on developing Section 508 compliant web pages. (Other specific
links are provided below.)

## 8.2 Accessibility Extensions

Developers will make use of available Oracle accessibility paradigms
(see http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/). For example, the developers
will use Bobby^TM^ (<http://www.cast.org/bobby/>) and/or the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C) Markup Validation Service
(<http://validator.w3.org/>) to verify that web pages meet Section 508
guidelines before releasing the pages for testing. Products with
traditional Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) or Web User Interfaces (UI)
are subject to Section 508 Accessibility standards. In addition, all
products need to be inter-operable with adaptive technologies and
operating system accessibility extensions to ensure that there is no
interference with operations. Oracle is addressing accessibility
requirements for disabled users through product evaluation and design
changes that reflect the most current Accessibility standards provided
by the Federal government. This includes modifying products to interface
with adaptive technologies such as screen readers and voice input
systems, as well as restructuring GUI code to use the new accessibility
Application Program Interfaces (API) in the various operating systems
supported by Oracle. Oracle will ensure that it is possible to build and
deploy accessible applications with Oracle 9*i*AS.

## 8.3 Summary

The following table lists the CPAIS Section 508 requirements and cites
the section(s) of the CPAIS *Functional Requirements Analysis* from
which each is derived:

+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+
| **Section 508 REQUIREMENT**                     | > **SECTION(S)**   |
+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+
| 1.  When software is designed to run on a       | > 4.1              |
|     system that has a keyboard, product         |                    |
|     functions shall be executable from a        |                    |
|     keyboard where the function itself or the   |                    |
|     result of performing a function can be      |                    |
|     discerned textually.                        |                    |
+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+
| 2.  Applications shall not disrupt or disable   | > 4.1              |
|     activated features of other products that   |                    |
|     are identified as accessibility features,   |                    |
|     where those features are developed and      |                    |
|     documented according to industry standards. |                    |
|     Applications also shall not disrupt or      |                    |
|     disable activated features of any operating |                    |
|     system that are identified as accessibility |                    |
|     features where the application programming  |                    |
|     interface for those accessibility features  |                    |
|     has been documented by the manufacturer of  |                    |
|     the operating system and is available to    |                    |
|     the product developer.                      |                    |
+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+

|     current focus shall be provided that moves  |                    |
|     among interactive interface elements as the |                    |
|     input focus changes. The focus shall be     |                    |
|     programmatically exposed so that assistive  |                    |

|     operation, and state of the element shall   |                    |
|     be available to assistive technology. When  |                    |
|     an image represents a program element, the  |                    |
|     information conveyed by the image must also |                    |
|     be available in text.                       |                    |
+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+
| 5.  When bitmap images are used to identify     | > 4.1              |
|     controls, status indicators, or other       |                    |
|     programmatic elements, the meaning assigned |                    |
|     to those images shall be consistent         |                    |
|     throughout an application\'s performance.   |                    |
+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+
| 6.  Textual information shall be provided       | > 4.1              |

|     that shall be made available is text        |                    |
|     content, text input caret location, and     |                    |
|     text attributes.                            |                    |
+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+
| 7.  Applications shall not override user        | > 4.1              |
|     selected contrast and color selections and  |                    |
|     other individual display attributes.        |                    |
+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+
| 8.  When animation is displayed, the            | > 4.1              |
|     information shall be displayable in at      |                    |
|     least one non-animated presentation mode at |                    |
|     the option of the user.                     |                    |
+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+
| 9.  Color-coding shall not be used as the only  | > 4.1              |
|     means of conveying information, indicating  |                    |
|     an action, prompting a response, or         |                    |
|     distinguishing a visual element.            |                    |
+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+
| 10. When a product permits a user to adjust     | > 4.1              |
|     color and contrast settings, a variety of   |                    |

|     shall allow people using assistive          |                    |
|     technology to access the information, field |                    |
|     elements, and functionality required for    |                    |
|     completion and submission of the form,      |                    |
|     including all directions and cues.          |                    |
+-------------------------------------------------+--------------------+
| 13. A text equivalent for every non-text        | > 4.2              |
|     element shall be provided (e.g., via        |                    |

## 8.4 Detail

These sections detail how the Section 508 requirements listed above are
implemented in CPAIS (or how to if not). Unless otherwise noted,
(implemented) solutions are available to Oracle developers. Generally,
current releases of Oracle tools can be used to build accessible or
inaccessible applications depending upon user coding practices. In many
cases, the Tools Runtime components that provide a customer-generated
application UI to end users can be made accessible, but it requires that
developers using these tools follow coding conventions and test to
ensure that an accessible application results.[^1]

Reports built with Reports 9*i* can be made accessible if proper coding
techniques are followed. A white paper, \"Creating Accessible Enterprise
Reports using Oracle 9*i* Reports\" addresses the use of Reports 9*i* in
building accessible reports. It is posted to:
<http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/index.html?reports.html>.

Forms 6*i* Builder is not accessible; however, applications built with
Forms 6*i* can be made accessible if proper coding techniques are
followed. A white paper, \"Accessibility in Oracle Forms Applications\"
addresses the use of Forms 6*i* in building accessible applications. It
is posted to: <http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/apps02.html>.
(Migration to at least Developer 6*i* Patch 5 (6.0.8.14) and Developer
6i patch 1678209 is recommended.)

To satisfy 508 requirements when programming JAVA applications[^2]:

-   first install the latest version of Sun Java Accessibility Bridge.
    The Java AccessBridge provides the integration with screen readers
    such as JAWS that also support Java. The Access Bridge is available
    from: <http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge>.

-   The release notes contain the most current recommended
    configuration, but as of this date it is, JAWS 3.70.87, NT 4.0 with
    Service Pack 6, or Windows 2000, IE 5.5, JDK 1.1.8 or JDK 1.3 and
    AccessBridge 1.0.2. As of March 10, 2003, AccessBridge 1.0.2 is the
    most current publicly available production release of the
    AccessBridge. Users should upgrade to AccessBridge 1.0.2. Oracle has
    entered into an agreement with Sun to begin including Sun\'s Access
    Bridge with Oracle products. Sun\'s API is scheduled to first ship
    with Oracle 9iNT and 9iAS release 2.

-   The release notes contain the most current recommended
    configuration, but as if this date it is, JAWS 3.70.87, NT 4.0 with
    Service Pack 6, or Windows 2000, IE 5.5, JDK 1.1.8 or JDK 1.3 and
    AccessBridge 1.0.2.

-   Download the latest version of the Java Access Bridge available from
    Sun at http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge/ into a temp
    directory on the machine such as c:\\temp\\accessbridge1_0_x.zip.
    The Java Access Bridge does not have to be installed because the
    only thing the installer actually does is copy files from
    accessbridge1_0_x.zip to different locations on the PC.

The Oracle Developer Suite consists of the following tools:
