Hi Everyone, in this blog post, I am mentioning about the important abbreviations used in Java, J2EE and other related services.

Java
  1. JDK - Stands for Java Development Kit. JDK contains software development tools which are used to compile and run java programs. Different versions of JDK are JDK 1.4, 1.5, 1.6.
  2. JRE - Stands for Java Runtime Environment. JRE is used as a interpreter of byte code to machine code.
  3. JVM - Stands for Java Virtual Machine. JVM is used to compile the Java program which converts source code to byte code.
Web Development
  1. HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language. Main markup language for creating web pages.
  2. XML - eXtensible Markup Language. XML is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format.
  3. CSS - Cascading Style Sheets. Style sheet language used for describing the presentation semantics of a document written in a markup language.
  4. DHTML - Dynamic HTML. DHTML is a collection of technologies used together to create interactive and animated websites by using a combination of static markup language, a client - side scripting language and a presentation definition language.
  5. JSP - Java Server Pages. JSP is used to create dynamically generated web pages.
  6. XSLT - eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. XSLT is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents.
  7. XSL - eXtensible Stylesheet Language. XSL is used to refer family of languages used to transform and render XML documents.
  8. XPath - XML Path Language. XPath is a query language used to select nodes from an XML document. 
  9. AJAX - Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client - side to create asynchronous web applications.
  10. JSON - JavaScript Object Notation. JSON is a text - based open standard readable data interchange.
  11. XQuery - XQuery is a query and functional programming language that is designed to query collections of XML data.
WebServices
  1. WSDL - Web Services Description Language. WSDL is an XML based interface description language that is used for describing the functionality offered by a web service.
  2. SOAP - Simple Object Access Protocol. SOAP is a protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the implementation of Web Services in computer networks.
  3. REST - Representational State Transfer. REST is a style of software architecture for distributed systems such as World Wide Web.
  4. UDDI - Universal Description Discovery and Integration. UDDI is a platform - independent, XML based registry by which businesses worldwide can list themselves on the internet, and a mechanism to register and locate web service applications.
  5. HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol. HTTP is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. 
Java API for XML
  1. JAX - Java API for XML. 
  2. JAXP - Java API for XML Processing. JAXP is used in validating and parsing XML documents.
  3. JAXM - Java API for XML Messaging. JAXM enables distributed software applications to communicate using XML. 
  4. JAX-RPC - Java API for XML based RPC (Remote Procedure Call). JAX-RPC allows a java application to invoke a java based Web Service with a known description while still being consistent with its WSDL description.
  5. JAXR - Java API for XML Registries. JAXR defines a standard API for java platform applications to access and programmatically interact with various kinds of metadata registries.
  6. JAX-WS - Java API for XML Web Services. JAX-WS is a java programming language API for creating web services.
  7. JAX-RS - Java API for XML RESTful Web Services. JAX-RS is a programming language API that provides support in creating web services according to Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural pattern.
  8. XQJ - XQuery API for Java. XQJ enables java programmers to execute XQuery against an XML data source while reducing or eliminating vendor lock in.
  9. JAXB - Java Architecture for XML Binding. JAXB allows java developers to map java classes to XML representations. 
  10. StAX - Streaming API for XML. StAX is an application programming interface API to read and write XML documents. 
These are some of the important abbreviations which are used in Java/J2EE. But there are plenty more other abbreviations also in Java/ J2EE. Hope, this post gave you a good idea about important abbreviations. Please do comment below if you have any suggestions.

Thank you for reading the post.

Difference between "diff" and "sdiff" commands in Unix

Hi everyone, in this blog post, I will be discussing about the difference between "diff" and "sdiff" commands in Unix. This is my first post about Unix. diff command diff command will compare two files and prints the difference between the 2 files. The format of diff command is diff file1 file2 . sdiff command sdiff command will compare two files side by side. The format of sdiff command is sdiff file1 file2. The contents of files are displayed side by side with a marker denoting the difference between each files. Some of the important markers used in sdiff are as follows: | - denotes the 2 files differ in the line completely. < - only the first file contains the line. > - only the second file contains the line. The better way to depict the difference is by showing examples. Here, I am comparing 2 files which are named as " ipl_teams_2008.txt " and " ipl_teams_2015.txt ". Let's see the contents of the files. ...

Important annotations used in Hibernate

-
Hi everyone, in this blogpost, I am discussing about some of the important annotations used in Hibernate. Following are some of the important annotations: - @Entity - @Entity specifies that the class is marked as an entity bean . @Table -  @Table is used to specify the table for persisting data. The optional attributes of the table annotation is ' name ' and ' schema ' which specifies both the name and schema of the table respectively. Other attributes are ' unique constraints ' which specifies the unique constraints that are to be placed on the table and ' catalog ' which specifies the catalog of the table. @Id - @Id specifies the identifier property of the entity bean. It is like a primary key of the table. The mapped column for primary key of the entity is assumed to be primary key of the primary table. If no column annotation is specified, the primary key column is assumed to be the name of primary key property or field. @Column - @C...
