NonStop Server for Java 5.0 Programmer's Reference

Supplementary Characters in the Java Platform and the Character class documentation for
more information.
BigDecimalFormat Class
In JDK 5.0, the DecimalFormat class was enhanced to format and parse BigDecimal and
BigInteger values without loss of precision. The formatting of these values is enhanced
automatically To enable parsing into BigDecimal, you need to use the
setParseBigDecimal method.
JAAS Enhancement
In NonStop Server for Java 3.x and earlier versions, the Java Authentication and Authorization
Service (JAAS) was an optional package (extension). JAAS is integrated into the NonStop
Server for Java 4. JAAS augments the core Java 2 platform with APIs that allow authenticating
users and enforcing access controls upon users. Traditionally, Java 2 provided
code-source-based access controls (access controls based on where the code originated and who
signed the code). However, Java 2 lacked the ability to additionally enforce access controls
based on who runs the code. In NonStop Server for Java 4, JAAS provides a framework that
augments the Java 2 security architecture with this additional capability.
For more information on JAAS, see Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS).
