What is Jolt
Jolt is a Java class library and application programming interfact (API) that provides an
interface to NonStop
TM
TUXEDO from Java clients. The Jolt product consists of several
components for creating Java-based client programs that access NonStop
TM
TUXEDO services
and for enabling secure, reliable access to servers inside corporate firewalls. These Jolt
components are:
Jolt Server. One or more Jolt servers listen for network connections from clients, translate
Jolt messages, multiplex multiple clients into a single process, and submit and retrieve
requests to and from NonStop
TM
TUXEDO-based applications running on one or more
NonStop
TM
TUXEDO servers.
