Oracle Jolt is a Java-based client API that manages requests to Oracle Tuxedo services via a Jolt Service Listener (JSL) running on the Tuxedo server. The Jolt API is embedded within the WebLogic API, and is accessible from a servlet or any other Oracle WebLogic application.

Because Oracle Jolt for Oracle WebLogic Server is an extension to the Jolt Java class library, the Jolt Java client class library can be used in HTTP servlets running in the WebLogic Server. Oracle Jolt for Oracle WebLogic Server also uses Java HTTP servlets to provide an interface between HTML browser clients and Oracle Tuxedo services.

Hereafter, Oracle Tuxedo is referred to as Tuxedo, Oracle Jolt is referred to as Jolt, and Oracle WebLogic is referred to as WebLogic for readability.
