NonStop Server for Java 4.2 Programmer's Reference

OTS
See Object Transaction Service (OTS).
P
package
A collection of related classes; for example, JDBC.
Pathsend API
The application program interface to a Pathway system that enables a Pathsend process to
communicate with a server process.
Pathsend process
A client (requester) process that uses the Pathsend interface to communicate with a server process.
A Pathsend process can be either a standard requester, which initiates application requests, or a
nested server, which is configured as a server class but acts as a requester by making requests to
other servers. Also called a Pathsend requester.
Pathway CGI
An extension to iTP Secure WebServer that provides CGI-like access to Pathway server classes.
Extended in the NonStop Server for Java so that Java servlets can be invoked from a
ServletServerClass, a special Pathway CGI server.
Pathway
A group of software tools for developing and monitoring OLTP programs that use the client/server
model. Servers are grouped into server classes to perform the requested processing. On NonStop
systems, this group of tools is packaged as two separate products: TS/MP and Pathway/TS.
Pathway/TS
An HP product that provides tools for developing and interpreting screen programs to support
OLTP programs in the Guardian environment on NonStop servers. Pathway/TS screen programs
communicate with terminals and intelligent devices. Pathway/TS requires the services of the
TS/MP product.
persistence
(1) A property of a programming language where created objects and variables continue to exist
and retain their values between runs of the program. (2) The capability of continuing in existence,
such as a program running as a process.
portability
The ability to transfer programs from one platform to another without reprogramming. A
characteristic of open systems. Portability implies use of standard programming languages such as
C.
Portable Operating System Interface X (POSIX)
A family of interrelated interface standards defined by ANSI and IEEE. Each POSIX interface is
separately defined in a numbered ANSI/IEEE standard or draft standard. The standards deal with
