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.
