Introducing the BEA Tuxedo System

BEA Jolt consists of a Java Class Library and an API between Java clients and the BEA Tuxedo system. It provides several components for creating Java-based client programs that access BEA Tuxedo services and for enabling secure, reliable access to servers inside corporate firewalls:

Jolt Server-One or more Jolt servers listen for network connections from clients, translate Jolt messages, multiplex multiple clients into a single process, and submit and retrieve requests to and from BEA Tuxedo applications running on one or more BEA Tuxedo servers.
Jolt Class Library for Java-The Jolt Class Library consists of Java class files that implement the Jolt API. These classes enable Java applications and applets to invoke BEA Tuxedo services. The Jolt Class Library provides functions for managing, retrieving, and invoking communication attributes, notifications, network connections, transactions, and services.
Jolt Repository-A central Jolt Repository contains definitions of BEA Tuxedo system services. These Repository definitions are used by Jolt at runtime to access BEA Tuxedo services. Using the Repository Editor, you can test new and existing BEA Tuxedo services independently of the client applications. You can export services to a Jolt client application or unexport services by hiding the definitions from the Jolt client.
Jolt Internet Relay-The Jolt Internet Relay is a component that routes messages from a Jolt client to a Jolt Server Listener (JSL) or Jolt Server Handler (JSH). This tool eliminates the need for the JSH and the BEA Tuxedo system to run on the same machine as the Web server. The Jolt Internet Relay consists of the Jolt Relay (JRLY) and the Jolt Relay Adapter (JRAD).

The separation of BEA Jolt into these components permits the transactional and Internet components of client/server applications to be implemented separately with the security and scalability required for large-scale Internet and intranet services.
