Introduction to BEA Jolt for BEA WebLogic Server

 

With BEA Jolt for BEA WebLogic Server, you can enable BEA Tuxedo services for the Web, using the BEA WebLogic Server as the front-end HTTP and application server.

BEA Jolt is a Java-based client API that manages requests to BEA Tuxedo services via a Jolt Service Listener (JSL) running on the Tuxedo server. The Jolt API is embedded within the WebLogic API, and is accessible from a servlet or any other BEA WebLogic application.

Because BEA Jolt for BEA WebLogic Server is an extension to the Jolt Java class library, the Jolt Java client class library can be used in HTTP servlets running in the WebLogic Server. BEA Jolt for BEA WebLogic Server also uses Java HTTP servlets to provide an interface between HTML browser clients and BEA Tuxedo services.

Hereafter, BEA Tuxedo is referred to as Tuxedo, BEA Jolt is referred to as Jolt, and BEA WebLogic is referred to as WebLogic for readability.
