1 Introducing Oracle Jolt
Oracle Jolt is a Java-based interface to the Oracle Tuxedo system that extends the functionality of existing Oracle Tuxedo applications to include Intranet- and Internet-wide availability. Using Jolt, you can now easily transform any Oracle Tuxedo application so that its services are available to customers using an ordinary browser on the Internet. Jolt interfaces with existing and new Oracle Tuxedo applications and services to allow secure, scalable, intranet/Internet transactions between client and server. Jolt enables you to build client applications and applets that can remotely invoke existing Oracle Tuxedo services, such as application messaging, component management, and distributed transaction processing.
Because you develop your applications with the Jolt API, which use Oracle Tuxedo and the Java programming language, the Jolt documentation is written with the assumption that you are familiar with Oracle Tuxedo and Java programming. This documentation is intended for system administrators, network administrators, and developers.
