Using Oracle Jolt for Oracle WebLogic Server, you can access your underlying Tuxedo system from the Web. This access allows you to write Web-enabled applications that can interact with other systems and databases in your Tuxedo domain.

The system described here is accessed through a standard Web browser. This Web browser is served by the WebLogic Server, which uses a customized Java HTTP servlet to handle the interactive HTTP requests of the browser. (An HTTP servlet is a Java class that handles an HTTP request and delivers an HTTP response.) The custom HTTP servlet uses the Jolt for WebLogic API to talk to a Jolt Server that can be on a remote machine or behind a security firewall.

The Jolt Server lives within the Tuxedo domain and determines which Tuxedo services are accessible to each client. The Jolt Server invokes the requested Tuxedo service and sends any results back to the WebLogic Server. You can then compile the results into a servlet-generated Web page, and send them to the browser. In doing so, you create a highly accessible and user friendly interface to Tuxedo services from anywhere on the Internet or intranet.
