1. Introducing the Jolt Web
Application Services
The Jolt Web Application Services Toolkit is an extension to the Jolt 1.1 Java class library. The
Toolkit allows the Jolt client class library to be used in a Web Server to provide an interface
between HTML clients or browsers, and TUXEDO services.
The Jolt Web Application Services provides an ease-of-use interface for processing and
generating dynamic HTML pages with the Jolt Web Application Services. You do not need to
learn how to write Common Gateway Interface (CGI) transactional programs to access
TUXEDO services.
Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 is the supported Web server for the Jolt Web
Application Services.
The following topics are discussed in this chapter:

Key Features
The Jolt Web Application Services, an extension to the Jolt class library, enables TUXEDO
services and transactions to be invoked from a Web server using a scripting language.
Some of the benefits of this architecture include:
The HTML interface is preserved. ●
The need to download Java class files is eliminated along with the delays associated with
the download. ●
Session Pooling efficiently utilizes the TUXEDO resources. ●
Leverages industry standard HTTP protocol with encryption, and firewall configuration
for the Web server. ●
Note
Asynchronous notification is not available in the Web Application Services. It is
recommended that Jolt enabled Java clients (applets) be written using a retained connection
to support asynchronous notification.
