3. Using JoltBeans
JoltBeans is a collection of beans that you can use to build your own Jolt client applications or applets. During development, take the beans
from the JoltBeans toolkit in the component palette of a development tool and position them on the Java form (or forms) of a Jolt client
application or applet. Populate the properties of the beans and establish event source-listener relationships between various beans of the
application or applet. Typically, the development tool is used to generate the event hook-up code, or you can code the hook-up manually.
The JoltBeans product consists of two sets of Java Beans. The first set, the JoltBeans toolkit, is a beans version of the Jolt API. The second
set, Jolt aware AWT beans, is a "Jolt enabled" version for some of the standard JDK 1.1 AWT components. These Jolt aware AWT
components help you to build Jolt client GUIs with minimal or no coding.
Note
To use the toolkit, it is recommended that you are familiar with JavaBeans enabled Integrated
Development Environments (IDEs). The walkthrough in this chapter is based on Symantec's
Visual Café 2.5 IDE and illustrates the basic steps of building a sample applet.

What Is the JoltBeans Toolkit?
The JoltBeans toolkit includes the following beans:
JoltSessionBean ●
JoltServiceBean ●
JoltUserEventBean ●
These components encompass the complete Jolt Class Library as Java Beans.
The following sections provide information about the properties for each bean. For additional information, refer to the Jolt for NonStop
TUXEDO User Guide or NonStop TUXEDO documentation.
See Section 4, JoltBeans Toolkit Class Library Reference and Section 5, Jolt Aware AWT Beans Class Library Reference for additional
information about the JoltBeans toolkit and Jolt aware AWT beans classes, constructors, and methods.
