Glossary

applet
On the Internet, a program written in Java that can be attached to an HTML document and executed by an applet viewer or any browser equipped to interpret Java commands. Applets differ from applications in that operating systems run applications, whereas only applications (such as a browser) run applets. Java applets tend to be restricted to displaying information rather than printing or writing information to a hard disk.
AWT
Abstract Windows Toolkit. The platform-independent Java API toolkit that governs windowing, graphics, and user-interface options for Java applications and applets.
 
inspection tests
In ZDBOp benchmarks, inspection tests are non-profiled tests that execute a specific operation in a specific subsystem. In JMark, for example, the Lines test specifically measures the JVM's performance at line-drawing.
 
intranet
An Internet protocol-based network inside an organization that provides similar functionality to, but doesn't necessarily include connections to, the Internet. An intranet is usually accessible only to authorized members of the organization.
Java(TM)
A platform-independent language designed for use on the Internet or Internet-type networks. Programmers can use Java to create full-scale applications (such a a word processor) or smaller application modules ("applets"). Java code runs mainly inside a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which interprets the Java code for an operating system. Most browsers contain their own JVM.
JVM
Java Virtual Machine. A runtime environment in which Java code is executed. This environment is created as needed by the browser and doesn't access the operating system (which means that a Java applet can't write to the hard disk, for example).
ODBC
Open Database Connectivity. A Microsoft-developed database access method that allows a user to access data from a number of different database applications.
SQL
Structured Query Language. A standardized language used to query information in a database or in distributed databases.
