A
Arglist Specifies the argument list passed to an object at the start time or at the runtime.
AXIOM AXIOM (AXIs2 Object Model) is the base of Axis2, where any incoming SOAP message is
represented as an object model called AXIOM inside Axis2. The advantage of AXIOM over other
XML inforset representations is that it is based on PULL parser technique, while most others are
based on PUSH parser technique. The main difference of PULL over PUSH is that in PULL technique
invoker has the full control on the parser and can ask for the next event, where as in the case of
PUSH, when the parser is asked to proceed it will fire the events until it reach the end of the
document.
Axis2/Java A core engine for Web services. It is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely used Apache
Axis. Provides the capabilities to add web service interfaces to web applications and
simultaneously, it can act as standalone server application.
B
BeanFactory The BeanFactory provides an advanced configuration mechanism capable of managing beans
(objects) of any nature, using potentially any kind of storage facility. The ApplicationContext
builds on top of the BeanFactory (a subclass) and adds other functionality, such as easier
integration with the Spring AOP features, message resource handling (for use in
internationalization), event propagation, declarative mechanisms to create the ApplicationContext
and optional parent contexts, and application-layer specific contexts such as the
WebApplicationContext, among other enhancements.
C
Connector Element Represents a connector component that supports HTTP/1.1 protocol.
Connector Threads Specifies the connector instances of NSJSP
Cookies Small string of text stored on a computer by a web browser. Web servers send it to the web
clients as an HTTP header for the purpose of authentication and session tracking.
E
End Point
Reference An endpoint reference (EPR) is a combination of Web services (WS) elements that define the
address for a resource in a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) header. In this context, an
endpoint is any user device connected to a network. Endpoints can include personal computers
(PCs), personal digital assistants (PDAs) and specialized equipment such as inventory scanners
and point-of-sale terminals.
An EPR consists of a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), message reference parameters and data
concerning the interface to be used. The EPR may also contain a set of policies relevant to the
endpoint such as its intended behavior and capabilities.
Executor Element Represents a thread pool that can be shared between components in NSJSP.
H
Hibernate Is an object-relational mapping (ORM) library for the Java language, providing a framework for
mapping an object-oriented domain model to a traditional relational database
HTTP Clients Is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the
World Wide Web using HTTP protocol. Commonly called as web browsers
I
Inversion of
Control Inversion of control, or IoC, is an abstract principle describing an aspect of some software
architecture designs in which the flow of control of a system is inverted in comparison to procedural
programming.
