A set of Application Integrator classes that are also referred to as the Application Integrator run-time classes. Internally, the Adapter provides access to server stored procedures and statements using JDBC drivers; it also provides security, transaction control, datatype conversion, and error handling integration.
An application program written in the Java programming language that can be retrieved from a Web server and executed by a Web browser. A reference to an applet appears in the markup for a Web page in the same way that a reference to a graphics file appears: a browser retrieves an applet in the same way that it retrieves a graphics file. For security reasons, an applet's access rights are limited in two ways: the applet cannot access the file system of the client upon which it is executing; and the applet's communication across the network is limited to the server from which it was downloaded.
See Component Builder.

In Jaguar, an "application object" that consists of one or more methods. Jaguar components typically execute business logic, access data sources, and return results to the client. Clients (Java applications) create an instance of a component and execute methods associated with that component.

A way of presenting information online with connections (hypertext links) between one piece of information and another.
The process of moving a stored procedure from its target data source into the Application Integrator tool.
In object-oriented programming, an object created by instantiating a class.

An object-oriented programming language for portable interpretive code that supports interaction among remote objects. Java was developed and specified by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
The platform-independent component architecture for the Java programming language. JavaBeans enables software developers to assemble pieces of Java code in a drag-and-drop development environment.
An application programming interface that has the same characteristics as Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) but is specifically designed for use by Java database applications. For databases that do not have a JDBC driver, JDBC includes a JDBC-to-ODBC bridge.
A scripting language that resemble Java and was developed by Netscape for use with the Netscape browser.
An execution time environment for running Java programs. JVMs may be stand alone or embedded in Web browsers, transaction servers, database management systems, and so on.
The Sybase JDBC driver that is 100% Java and can be used by applets. jConnect can also be used with Sun and Microsoft Java virtual machines.
To copy data into a form suitable for use by another object. Stubs perform marshalling.
In object-oriented programming, software that implements the behavior specified by an operation.
A boolean value (true/false) that indicates whether the first parameter value of a method is NULL.
In object-oriented programming, a concrete realization of a class that consists of data and the operations associated with that data.
In object-oriented programming, software that serves as an intermediary by transparently enabling objects to exchange requests and responses.
Standard application programming (API) interface for accessing data in both relational and nonrelational database management systems. Using this API, database applications can access data stored in database management systems on a variety of computers even when each database management system uses a different data storage format and programming interface. ODBC is based on the Call Level Interface specification of the X/Open SQL Access Group and was developed by DEC, Lotus, Microsoft and Sybase.
Sybase product that provides capability for programmatic access to mainframe data. It allows workstation-based clients to execute customer-written mainframe transactions remotely.
In Jaguar, a collection of components that work together to provide a service or some aspect of an application's business logic. Each package acts as a unit of distribution, grouping together application resources for ease of deployment and management.
In Application Integrator, name used to provide unique identifiers for components and associate them with a specific piece of an application program. In the absence of a package name, AI for Stored Procedures assigns a default name.
Sybase publications that certify third-party query and development tools to work with Sybase products.
In the Internet suite of protocols, the identifier for a logical connector between an application entity and the transport service.
Files that store definitions and information about logically-related components and connections.
A local representation of a remote user object in a distributed application.
A customer-written CICS program that resides on the mainframe and communicates with MainframeConnect for DB2/MVS-CICS.
Rows of data retrieved from the database when a SQL SELECT statement is executed. The return value for a method call.
Instant at which a particular computer program executes.
In Application Integrator, the environment in which a client application tries to invoke a component in Jaguar CTS. Synonymous with execution time. Compare with design time.
Pertaining to the capability of a system to adapt readily to a greater or lesser intensity of use, volume, or demand.
Set of statements, expressed in a data definition language, that completely describe the structure of a database.
A functional unit that provides shared services to one or more clients or workstations over a network.
A skeleton acts as the interface between the Jaguar run-time environment and the user code that implements the method. Skeletons are compiled and linked with each of the components, and at run time they enable Jaguar to locate and invoke an appropriate method.
In code set conversion, the interpretation of a byte depends on the bytes before it.
In Application Integrator, component instances that remain dedicated to a single client application while the connection to the server remains open until the component is deactivated. Compare with stateless.
Application Integrator component instances that are removed from the instance pool and dedicated to a client application only for the duration of the method call. Compare with stateful.
A collection of SQL statements and optional control-of-flow statements stored under a name.
Small module called from an application that performs marshalling and transfer of control to a larger body of related code.
In Jaguar, a stub is a Java class generated by Jaguar Manager and acts as a proxy object for a Jaguar component. Compiled and linked with a Java client application, a stub communicates with Jaguar to instantiate and invoke a method on a component in the middle tier. Stubs make remote Jaguar components appear local to the client.
