Defination require for Security Manager and JSP, Applets, JDBC, RMI, EJBs and JSF.

[saneha]

Please clear me about (runtime Security Manager) and about the defination of Servlets, JSP, Applets, JDBC, RMI, EJBs and JSF.

Appreciate your quick reply.

Thanks

Runtime Security Manager:
In simple Runtime Security Manager is responsible for the security of the Host system i.e. the security of the virtual machine.
It is ultimately up to the security manager to determine whether many particular operations should be permitted or rejected. If a Java program attempts to open a file, the security manager decides whether or not that operation should be permitted. If a Java program wants to connect to a particular machine on the network, it must first ask permission of the security manager. If a Java program wants to alter the state of certain threads, the security manager will intervene if such an operation is considered dangerous.


Servlets:
A servlet is an application or a script that is written in Java and executed on a server (You can call it a server side program.), as opposed to on a client. It is similar to CGI, although servlets are more effiecint and flexible the CGI


JSP
JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a Java technology that helps software developers serve dynamically generated web pages based on HTML, XML, or other document types.

Applets
An applet is a program written in the Java programming language that can be included in an HTML page, much in the same way an image is included in a page. When you use a Java technology-enabled browser to view a page that contains an applet, the applet's code is transferred to your system and executed by the browser's Java Virtual Machine (JVM). For information and examples on how to include an applet in an HTML page, refer to this description of the <APPLET> tag.

JDBC
Java database connectivity (JDBC) is the JavaSoft specification of a standard application programming interface (API) that allows Java programs to access database management systems. The JDBC API consists of a set of interfaces and classes written in the Java programming language.

Using these standard interfaces and classes, programmers can write applications that connect to databases, send queries written in structured query language (SQL), and process the results.

RMI
Java Remote Method Invocation (Java RMI) enables the programmer to create distributed Java technology-based to Java technology-based applications, in which the methods of remote Java objects can be invoked from other Java virtual machines*, possibly on different hosts. RMI uses object serialization to marshal and unmarshal parameters and does not truncate types, supporting true object-oriented polymorphism.

EJB
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology is the server-side component architecture for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE). EJB technology enables rapid and simplified development of distributed, transactional, secure and portable applications based on Java technology.

JSF
JavaServer Faces technology establishes the standard for building server-side user interfaces. With the contributions of the expert group, the JavaServer Faces APIs are being designed so that they can be leveraged by tools that will make web application development even easier. Several respected tools vendors were members of the JSR-314 expert group, which developed the JavaServer Faces 1.0 specification. These vendors are committed to supporting the JavaServer Faces technology in their tools, thus promoting the adoption of the JavaServer Faces technology standard.
