1. Introducing the JoltBeans Toolkit

The JoltBeans toolkit provides a JavaBeans compliant interface to Jolt for NonStop TUXEDO.

The JoltBeans toolkit contains beans which wrap the existing Jolt class library into reusable
bean components, such as the JoltSessionBean or the JoltServiceBean. These beans can be
customized easily by giving application specific values to properties and connecting them with
other bean components.

You can use the JoltBeans toolkit with your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to
create Jolt clients that can access a TUXEDO application.

The JoltBeans product includes a set of .jar files that you can import to your IDE. For example,

window of Visual Café.

Currently, Symantec Visual Café 2.5 is the only IDE that has been certified for use with
JoltBeans.
