NonStop Server for Java Programmer's Reference (NSJ 4.2+)

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 NonSotp 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 issues of portability, interoperability, and uniformity of user
interfaces.
