NonStop Server for Java 6.0 Programmer's Reference

Standard Extension
API
An API outside the Core Packages for which Sun Microsystems, Inc. has defined and published
an API standard. Some of the Standard Extensions might migrate into the Core Packages. Examples
of standard extensions are servlets and JTS .
stored procedure A procedure registered with NonStop SQL/MX and invoked by NonStop SQL/MX during execution
of a CALL statement. Stored procedures are especially important for client/server database systems
because storing the procedure on the server side means that it is available to all clients. And
when the procedure is modified, all clients automatically get the new version.
stored procedure
in Java (SPJ)
A stored procedure whose body is a static Java method.
stub A dummy procedure used when linking a program with a runtime library. The stub need not
contain any code. Its only purpose is to prevent "undefined label" errors at link time.
1.
2. A local procedure in a remote procedure call (RPC). A client calls the stub to perform a task,
not necessarily aware that the RPC is involved. The stub transmits parameters over the network
to the server and returns results to the caller.

thread A task that is separately dispatched and that represents a sequential flow of control within a
process.
threads The nonnative thread package that is shipped with Sun Microsystems Java SE 6.0.
throw Java keyword used to raise an exception.
throws Java keyword used to define the exceptions that a method can raise.
TMF See HP NonStop Transaction Management Facility (TMF)
TNS/E The hardware platform based on the Intel® Itanium® architecture and the HP NonStop operating
system, and the software specific to that platform. All code is PIC (position independent code).
TNS/R The hardware platform based on the MIPS™ architecture and the HP NonStop operating system,
and the software specific to that platform. Code might be PIC (position independent code) or
non-PIC.
transaction A user-defined action that a client program (usually running on a workstation) requests from a
server .
Transaction
Management
Facility (TMF)
A set of HP software products for NonStop systems that assures database integrity by preventing
incomplete updates to a database. It can continuously save the changes that are made to a
database (in real time) and back out these changes when necessary. It can also take online
"snapshot" backups of the database and restore the database from these backups.
Transmission
Control
Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)
One of the most widely available nonvendor-specific protocols , designed to support large,
heterogeneous networks of systems.

-Xeprof Java application profile collection option.
-Xeverbosegc Java application's Garbage Collector (GC) activity profile collection option.
Unicode A character-coding scheme designed to be an extension of ASCII . By using 16 bits for each
character (rather than ASCII's 7), Unicode can represent almost every character of every language
and many symbols (such as "&") in an internationally standard way, eliminating the complexity
of incompatible extended character sets and code pages. Unicode's first 128 codes correspond
to those of standard ASCII.
