   Introducing the BEA Tuxedo System

What Is a BEA Tuxedo BRIDGE

A BEA Tuxedo BRIDGE is a server, provided by the BEA Tuxedo system, for sending and receiving service requests between machines, and routing requests to local server queues.

Each BRIDGE enables a network connection to be created with every other BRIDGE in the system. Network connections are established as needed and then maintained indefinitely. BRIDGEs are hidden servers, that is, they are started and stopped automatically, as needed, without an explicit configuration entry. Messages are asynchronously sent across these persistent network connections. No network connection overhead is incurred for individual messages.
