Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI). A standard extension to the Java platform,
which provides Java technology-enabled application programs with a unified interface

JavaServer Page (JSP). A server-side technology, JavaServer Pages are an extension to
the Java servlet technology that was developed by Sun.
Java Thread. A part of a program that can execute independently of other parts. Operating
systems that support multithreading enable programmers to design programs whose
threaded parts can execute concurrently.
