The Jolt Internet Relay is a component that routes messages from a Jolt client to the Jolt Server. The Jolt Internet Relay consists of the Jolt Relay (JRLY) and the Jolt Relay Adapter (JRAD). JRLY is a stand-alone software component that routes Jolt messages to the Jolt Relay Adapter. Requiring only minimal configuration to work with Jolt clients, the Jolt Relay eliminates the need for the Oracle Tuxedo system to run on the same machine as the Web server.

The JRAD is an Oracle Tuxedo system server, but does not include any Oracle Tuxedo services. It requires command-line arguments to allow it to work with the JSH and the Oracle Tuxedo system. JRAD receives client requests from JRLY, and forwards the request to the appropriate JSH. Replies from the JSH are forwarded back to the JRAD, which sends the response back to the JRLY. A single Jolt Internet Relay (JRLY/JRAD pair) handles multiple clients concurrently.
