What's New?

The following features are new in BEA Jolt Release 1.2.

Compression

Allows application data that is sent between a Jolt client and a Jolt Server (JSH) to be compressed during transmission over the network at a very low cost (few CPU cycles). Compression is only supported for clients based on JDK 1.1.7 or 1.2.

Diffie-Hellman (DH) Key Exchange

Replaces the DES key exchange mechanism. This allows Jolt to be classified as a true 128 bit secure environment (available to U. S. customers only).

Two Session Keys per Jolt Session

Jolt uses two session keys for each user session. One key is used for encrypting and decrypting messages sent from the client to the server, the other for messages sent from the server to the client.

Support for WebLogic Enterprise 4.2 (WLE)

WLE 4.2 provides advanced Java development services. It allows you to build distributed, mission-critical, CORBA-compliant applications in Java and C++.

JRLY as an NT Service

The Jolt Relay (JRLY) in Jolt on the NT platform is provided as an NT service. As an NT service, this process can be started and stopped via the NT Service Control Manager (SCM).

JRLY Connection to JRAD

The Jolt Relay (JRLY) in Jolt allows you to specify a list of IP addresses for JRADs. On startup, the JRLY tries to connect to each JRAD on the list, searching sequentially from the beginning. The first JRAD to respond successfully is used.

Multiple JSL Addresses for JoltSessionAttributes

Jolt allows you to specify a list of IP port addresses from which the Jolt client randomly selects JSLs until a connection is established.

ASP Connectivity for TUXEDO (formerly Jolt WAS for IIS)

Works with existing Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) to provide a gateway for HTML clients into a TUXEDO application environment. Interactions between the Web server and Jolt classes are through VBScript and VB inside ASPs.

JSE Connectivity for TUXEDO (formerly Jolt WAS for Servlets)

Simplifies handling of HTTP requests to the TUXEDO application environment.

Internationalization

Allows all informational and error messages that are generated by the Jolt client to be localized.

Javadoc Format

The HTML and PDF versions of the Jolt class library are now in Javadoc format.

Y2K Compliance

Any dates that are used or displayed by Jolt are in Y2K-compliant format. Specifically, the Jolt license file allows expiration dates beyond December 31, 1999 and all messages and timestamps that Jolt generates use a Y2K-compliant representation.

Linux

Jolt now supports the Linux operating system.

OS 400 and OS 390

Jolt now supports these operating systems.
