A set of associations between unique, atomic, people-friendly identifiers and objects.
Industry:Computer
The framework events of a J2EE component's existence. Each type of component has defining events that mark its transition into states in which it has varying availability for use. For example, a servlet is created and has its init method called by its container before invocation of its service method by clients or other servlets that require its functionality. After the call of its init method, it has the data and readiness for its intended use. The servlet's destroy method is called by its container before the ending of its existence so that processing associated with winding up can be done and resources can be released. The init and destroy methods in this example are callback methods. Similar considerations apply to the life cycle of all J2EE component types: enterprise beans, Web components (servlets or JSP pages), applets, and application clients.
Industry:Computer
A session bean with no conversational state. All instances of a stateless session bean are identical.
Industry:Computer
The field values of a session bean plus the transitive closure of the objects reachable from the bean's fields. The transitive closure of a bean is defined in terms of the serialization protocol for the Java programming language, that is, the fields that would be stored by serializing the bean instance.
Industry:Computer
The execution of two or more active threads or processes in parallel. On a uniprocessor apparent concurrence is accomplished by rapidly switching between threads. On a multiprocessor system true parallel execution can be achieved. See also asynchronous control, multiprocessor system, thread.
Industry:Computer
A servlet container that can run a Web application that is tagged as distributable and that executes across multiple Java virtual machines running on the same host or on different hosts.
Industry:Computer
The error introduced when a real number is rounded to a machine-representable number. Most floating-point calculations incur roundoff error. For any one floating-point operation, IEEE Std 754 specifies that the result shall not incur more than one rounding error.
Industry:Computer
A self-contained functional software unit supported by a container and configurable at deployment time. The J2EE specification defines the following J2EE components:
*Application clients and applets are components that run on the client.
*Java servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology components are Web components that run on the server.
*Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) components (enterprise beans) are business components that run on the server.
J2EE components are written in the Java programming language and are compiled in the same way as any program in the language. The difference between J2EE components and "standard" Java classes is that J2EE components are assembled into a J2EE application, verified to be well formed and in compliance with the J2EE specification, and deployed to production, where they are run and managed by the J2EE server or client container.
Industry:Computer
The degree to which the intermediate state of the data being modified by a transaction is visible to other concurrent transactions and data being modified by other transactions is visible to it.
