Oracle Jolt

When you install Tuxedo, Jolt gets installed by default. The PeopleSoft servlets on the web server transmit requests and data through a connection to Jolt, which runs on the application server. Jolt extends Tuxedo capabilities by acting as the communication layer between the Java-based environment of the servlets and the C++ environment of the application server. You configure the servlets to direct requests from the web server to a predefined Jolt port on the application server.

The following diagram shows the relationship between Jolt and servlets on the web server:

Web browsers and integrated systems don't send requests directly to the application server. Instead, they send HTTP or HTTPS requests to the PeopleSoft servlets running on the web server. The web server translates the Https request into a Jolt request that is sent to a specified Jolt port. Then the application server, running on Tuxedo, submits the appropriate SQL to the database.
