Chapter 1. General Computer Terms

A form of inversion of control, where an object’s external dependencies are given to it, either programmatically or through a framework that is driven by configuration information. The result is to decouple dependent objects and allow the dependencies to be resolved at run time.

Enterprise Management System(EMS), a set of integrated tools that enable system administrators to manage large-scale production environments.

An abbreviation for internationalization, used in the context of preparing products, especially software and documentation, for use in more than one national locale and language.

A Java technology that supplies tools for managing and monitoring applications, system objects, devices, and service-oriented networks.

An API specified in Java technology that provides Java applications with access to databases and other data sources.

A set of APIs specified in Java technology that assists Java applications with interfacing to multiple naming and directory services.

An API that provides a way to bind an XML Schema to a representation in Java code.

A Java security framework for user-centric security to augment the Java code-based security.

A text-based, human-readable format for representing simple data structures JSON is specified in RFC 4627. The official Internet media type for JSON is application/json. JSON format is often as an alternative to XML for the serialization and transmission of structured data over a network connection.

An abbreviation for localization, used in the context of preparing products, especially software and documentation, for use in more than one national locale and language. Localization is the process of translating the elements of a product for a particular locale and language.

The process of taking in-memory objects and converting them to a binary or textual format for transmission over a transport.

An international consortium that drives the development, convergence, and adoption of Web services standards. See www.oasis-open.org.

Industry-standard abbreviation for qualified name, as defined in the XML namespace specification. A QName is resource name that incorporates the namespace of the specification where that resource is defined.

QNames are composed of:

QNames can be found in several formats. The canonical format for QNames in Red Hat JBoss Fuse is the one specified in javax.xml.namespace.QName, which is the namespace URI enclosed in braces, followed immediately (with no punctuation) by the localPart. For, example: {http://redhat.com/demo}SOAPHTTPService.

Another format is used in a self-contained document such as a WSDL contract, where a qualified name is in the form prefix:localPart. The prefix is declared in an xmlns element in an XML namespace declaration in the same document. For example, ls:SOAPHTTPService is a qualified name, where the prefix ls is defined in the statement xmlns:ls="http://www.iona.com/FixedBinding" earlier in the same document, and SOAPHTTPService is a resource defined in the specification at that location.

A comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications the uses dependency injection.
