Sun Microsystems is a multinational vendor of computers, computer software and hardware, and information technology services.
A database-inspired method for specifying constraints on XML documents using an XML-based language. Schemas address deficiencies in DTDs, such as the inability to put constraints on the kinds of data that can occur in a particular field. Because schemas are founded on XML, they are hierarchical. Thus it is easier to create an unambiguous specification, and it is possible to determine the scope over which a comment is meant to apply.
Industry:Computer
Functional arrangement of the auditing capability. This term is used in XSCF firmware.
Industry:Computer
A container that provides the same services as a servlet container and an engine that interprets and processes JSP pages into a servlet.
Industry:Computer
Extra bits used by hardware to ensure correct rounding, not accessible by software. For example, IEEE double precision operations use three hidden bits to compute a 56-bit result that is then rounded to 53 bits.
Industry:Computer
A condition that occurs in cache when two unrelated data accessed independently by two threads reside in the same block. This block can end up 'ping-ponging' between caches for no valid reason. Recognizing such a case and rearranging the data structure to eliminate the false sharing greatly increases cache performance. See also cache, cache locality.
Industry:Computer
Enterprise Archive file. A JAR archive that contains a J2EE application.
Industry:Computer
A computer program that enables the automation of a well defined activity by performing a specific well defined task when it detects a predetermined set of conditions.
Industry:Computer
A component that provides services in response to requests; either a servlet or a JSP page.
Industry:Computer
A component of an HTTP request URL that contains a set of parameters and values that affect the handling of the request.
Industry:Computer
Computer control behavior where a specific operation is begun upon receipt of an indication (signal) that a particular event has occurred. Asynchronous control relies on synchronization mechanisms called locks to coordinate processors. See also mutual exclusion, mutex lock, semaphore lock, single-lock strategy, spin lock.
