Sandbox - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Programming > Java

Comprises a number of cooperating system components, ranging from security managers that execute as part of the application, to security measures designed into the Java virtual machine and the language itself. The sandbox ensures that an untrusted, and possibly malicious, application cannot gain access to system resources.

Schema - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Programming > Java

A database-inspired method for specifying constraints on XML documents using an XML-based language. Schemas address deficiencies in DTDs, such as the inability to put constraints on the kinds of data that can occur in a particular field. Because schemas are founded on XML, they are hierarchical. Thus it is easier to create an unambiguous specification, and it is possible to determine the scope over which a comment is meant to apply.

scope - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Programming > Java

A characteristic of an identifier that determines where the identifier can be used. Most identifiers in the Java programming environment have either class or local scope. Instance and class variables and methods have class scope; they can be used outside the class and its subclasses only by prefixing them with an instance of the class or (for class variables and methods) with the class name. All other variables are declared within methods and have local scope; they can be used only within the enclosing block.
Sun Microsystems - Cite This Source - This Definition
A language's scope rules determine how widely variables, methods and classes are visible within a class or program. Local variables have a scope limited to the block in which they are defined, for instance. Private methods and variables have class scope, limiting their accessibility to their defining class. Java provides private, package, protected and public visibility.

security policy domain - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Programming > Java

A scope over which security policies are defined and enforced by a security administrator. A security policy domain has the following characteristics: It has a collection of users (or principals). It uses a well defined authentication protocol(s) for authenticating users (or principals). It may have groups to simplify setting of security policies.

semantic error - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Programming > Java

An error in the meaning of program. A statement may have no syntax errors, but might still break the rules of the Java language. For instance, if ivar is an int variable, the following statement is syntactically correct
```
 ivar = true; 
```
However, it is semantically incorrect, because it is illegal to assign a boolean value to an integer variable.
