Jolt

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. The Jolt Java client class library can be used in HTTP servlets running in WebLogic Server and provides an interface between HTML browser clients and BEA Tuxedo services.
