Table 1-1 summarizes the flow of activity involved in using the Jolt Class Library to access

NonStop

TUXEDO services.

Table 1-1. Using the Jolt Class Library

Process Step Action

Connection 1. A Java-enabled Web browser downloads an HTML page using the

HTTP protocol.

2. A Jolt applet is downloaded and executed in the Java Virtual Machine on

the client.

3. A Java applet opens a separate connection to the Jolt Server using a

private protocol.

Request 4. The Jolt client knowing the signature of the service (such as, name,

parameters, types), builds a service request object based on Jolt class

definitions, and make a method call.

5. The request is sent to the Jolt Server, which translates the Java-based

request into NonStop

TUXEDO requests and forwards the request to

the NonStop

TUXEDO environment.

Reply 6. The NonStop

TUXEDO system processes the request and returns the

information to the Jolt Server, which translates it back to the Java applet.

JoltBeans

Jolt for NonStop

TUXEDO now includes JoltBeans. JoltBeans are Beans components that

you can use in a Java-enabled Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to construct Jolt

clients. Using JoltBeans, you can now create Jolt client applications with the ease of using

typical JavaBeans. You can now use popular JavaBeans-enabled development tools to
