NonStop Server for Java (NSJ) Programmer's Guide (NSJ 2.0+)

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 issues of portability, interoperability, and uniformity of user
interfaces.
POSIX
See Portable Operating System Interface X (POSIX).
private key
An encryption key that is not known to all parties.
protocol
A set of formal rules for transmitting data, especially across a network. Low-level
protocols define electrical and physical standards, bit-ordering, byte-ordering, and the
transmission, error detection, and error correction of the bit stream. High-level protocols
define data formatting, including the syntax of messages, the terminal-to-computer
dialogue, character sets, sequencing of messages, and so on.
Pthread
A POSIX thread.
public key
An encryption key that is known to all parties.
pure Java
Java that relies only on the Core API, meaning that it can run anywhere.
R
RDF
See Remote Duplicate Database Facility (RDF).
reduced instruction set computing (RISC)
A processor architecture based on a relatively small and simple instruction set, a large
number of general-purpose registers, and an optimized instruction pipeline that supports
high-performance instruction execution. Compare to CISC.
Reflection
A Sun Microsystems product that enables Java code to find information about the fields,
methods and constructors of loaded classes, and to use reflected fields, methods, and
constructors to operate on their underlying counterparts on objects, within security
restrictions. The API accommodates programs that need access to either the public
members of a target object (based on its run-time class) or the members declared by a
given class.
Remote Duplicate Database Facility (RDF)
The Compaq software product that does the following:
