NonStop Server for Java (NSJ) Programmer's Guide (NSJ 2.1+)

Introduction to NonStop Java
The Compaq NonStop Server for Java...based on Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, SDK 1.2.2
(short form: NonStop Java) is a Java environment that supports compact, concurrent, dynamic,
portable programs for the enterprise server. NonStop Java requires the Compaq NonStop
Kernel Open System Services (OSS) environment for its operation. NonStop Java uses the
Compaq NonStop Kernel operating system to add the Compaq fundamentals of scalability and
program persistence to the Java environment.
NonStop Java is based on the reference Java implementation for Solaris, licensed by Compaq
from Sun Microsystems, Inc. NonStop Java is a conformant version of the Sun Microsystems
JDK 1.2.2 and is branded as "Java Compatible." NonStop Java 2.1 complies with all
conformance tests in version 1.2.2 of the Java Conformance Kit (JCK). NonStop Java 2.1
provides AWT but does not support it because of the nonvisual nature of Compaq servers.
This NonStop Java Programmer's Reference identifies the changes in the Compaq adaptation of
the reference Java implementation, emphasizing the differences between the reference
implementation and NonStop Java. For more information on the standard architecture, see the
Sun Microsystems documentation.
