The client application must log on to the Oracle Tuxedo environment prior to initiating any transaction activity. The Jolt Class Library provides the JoltSessionAttributes class and JoltSession class to establish a connection to an Oracle Tuxedo system.

The JoltSessionAttributes class will contain the connection properties of Jolt and Oracle Tuxedo systems as well as various other properties of the two systems. To establish a connection, the client application must create an instance of the JoltSession class. This instance is the JoltSession object. After the developer instantiates a Jolt Session and Oracle Tuxedo object, the Jolt and Oracle Tuxedo logon capability is enabled. Calling the endSession method ends the session and allows the user to log off.
