MP) 3.0

W3 are examples for browsers for the WWW. They act as clients to remote servers.

bytecode

The code that javac, the Java compiler, produces. When the Java VM loads this code, it either interprets it or

just-in-time compiles it into native RISC code.

C language

A widely used, general-purpose programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie of Bell Labs in the late

1960s. C is the primary language used to develop programs in UNIX environments.

C++ language

A derivative of the C language that has been adapted for use in developing object-oriented programs.

catalog

In NonStop SQL/MP and NonStop SQL/MX, a set of tables containing the descriptions of SQL objects such as

tables, views, columns, indexes, files, and partitions.

class path

The location where the Java VM and other Java programs that are located in the /usr/tandem/java/bin

directory search for class libraries (such as classes.zip). You can set the class path explicitly or with the

CLASSPATH environment variable.

CLOB

A data type used to represent Character Large OBjects These are typically used to store, in Enscribe files,

images or serialized objects in the database. The internal structure and content of a Clob object are immaterial to

the NonStop Server for Java.

client

A software process, hardware device, or combination of the two that requests services from a server. Often, the

client is a process residing on a programmable workstation and is the part of a program that provides the user

interface. The workstation client might also perform other portions of the program logic. Also called a requester.

command

The operation demanded by an operator or program; a demand for action by, or information from, a subsystem.

A command is typically conveyed as an interprocess message from a program to a subsystem.

concurrency

A condition in which two or more transactions act on the same record in a database at the same time. To process

a transaction, a program must assume that its input from the database is consistent, regardless of any concurrent

changes being made to the database. TMF manages concurrent transactions through concurrency control.

concurrency control

Protection of a database record from concurrent access by more than one process. TMF imposes this control by

dynamically locking and unlocking affected records to ensure that only one transaction at a time accesses those

records.

conformant

A Java implementation is conformant if it passes all the tests for J2SE.

connection pooling

A framework for pooling JDBC connections.

Core API

The minimal set of APIs that developers can assume is present on all delivered implementations of the Java

Platform when the final API is released by Sun Microsystems, Inc. The NonStop Server for Java conforms to

every Core API in the JDK. Core API is also called Java Core Classes and Java Foundation Classes.

Core Packages

The required set of APIs in a Java platform edition which must be supported in any and all compatible

implementations.
