What Are the Components?

BEA Jolt 1.2 is a Java class library and API that provides an interface to BEA TUXEDO and WLE from remote Java clients. BEA Jolt 1.2 consists of several components for creating Java-based client programs that access TUXEDO services. These Jolt components are as follows:.

Jolt Servers 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 TUXEDO based applications running on one or more TUXEDO servers. Jolt Class Library The Jolt class library is a Java package containing the class files that implement the Jolt API. These classes enable Java applications and applets to invoke BEA TUXEDO services. The Jolt class library includes functionality to set, retrieve, manage and invoke communication attributes, notifications, network connections, transactions, and services. JoltBeans BEA JoltBeans provides a JavaBeans compliant interface to BEA Jolt 1.2. JoltBeans are Beans components that can be used in JavaBeans enabled Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to construct BEA Jolt clients. Jolt Beans consists of two sets of Java Beans: JoltBeans toolkit and Jolt-aware AWT beans. JoltBeans includes the JoltBeans toolkit, a JavaBeans-compliant interface to BEA Jolt, which includes the JoltServiceBean, JoltSessionBean, and JoltUserEventBean. Jolt Repository A central Jolt Repository contains definitions of BEA TUXEDO services. These Repository definitions are used by Jolt at runtime to access TUXEDO services. You can export services to a Jolt client application or unexport services by hiding the definitions from the Jolt client. Using the Repository Editor, you can test new and existing BEA TUXEDO services independently of the client applications. 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 eliminates the need for the JSH and TUXEDO 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). 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.
