A method of an enterprise bean that implements the business logic or rules of an application.
Industry:Computer
Software that provides services to access the Internet, an intranet, or an extranet. A Web server hosts Web sites, provides support for HTTP and other protocols, and executes server-side programs (such as CGI scripts or servlets) that perform certain functions. In the J2EE architecture, a Web server provides services to a Web container. For example, a Web container typically relies on a Web server to provide HTTP message handling. The J2EE architecture assumes that a Web container is hosted by a Web server from the same vendor, so it does not specify the contract between these two entities. A Web server can host one or more Web containers.
Industry:Computer
A method defined in the home interface and invoked by a client to create an enterprise bean.
Industry:Computer
A method by which a system validates and authorizes a user or function to access or use the system.

A special-purpose data type introduced by E. W. Dijkstra that coordinates access to a particular resource or set of shared resources. A semaphore has an integer value (that cannot become negative) with two operations allowed on it. The signal (V or up) operation increases the value by one, and in general indicates that a resource has become free. The wait (P or down) operation decreases the value by one, when that can be done without the value going negative, and in general indicates that a free resource is about to start being used. See also semaphore lock.

The part of a URL passed by an HTTP request to invoke a servlet. A URL path consists of the context path + servlet path + path info, where
*Context path is the path prefix associated with a servlet context of which the servlet is a part. If this context is the default context rooted at the base of the Web server's URL namespace, the path prefix will be an empty string. Otherwise, the path prefix starts with a / character but does not end with a / character.
*Servlet path is the path section that directly corresponds to the mapping that activated this request. This path starts with a / character.
*Path info is the part of the request path that is not part of the context path or the servlet path.
Industry:Computer
A software unit that consists of one or more J2EE components of the same container type and one deployment descriptor of that type. There are four types of modules: EJB, Web, application client, and resource adapter. Modules can be deployed as stand-alone units or can be assembled into a J2EE application.
Industry:Computer
A software unit that consists of one or more classes and an application client deployment descriptor.

The most popular protocol for maintaining cache coherency is called snooping. Cache controllers monitor or snoop on the bus to determine whether or not the cache contains a copy of a shared block.
For reads, multiple copies can reside in the cache of different processors, but because the processors need the most recent copy, all processors must get new values after a write. See also cache, competitive-caching, false sharing, write-invalidate, write-update.
For writes, a processor must have exclusive access to write to cache. Writes to unshared blocks do not cause bus traffic. The consequence of a write to shared data is either to invalidate all other copies or to update the shared copies with the value being written. See also cache, competitive-caching, false sharing, write-invalidate, write-update.
