Java OpenAL (JOAL) is one of several wrapper libraries that allows Java programmers to access OpenAL. This allows Java programmers to use 3D sound in applications. JOAL is one of the libraries developed by the Game Technology Group at Sun Microsystems. JOAL is released under a BSD license, and is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Like its graphical counterpart, JOGL, JOAL was developed using the Gluegen utility, a program that generates Java bindings from C header files.

JOAL is also know as Java Open Access Library provided by Royal Blue Fidessa. The API provides the JAVA interface for applications to connect to Fidessa and its services. JOAL provides the following protocols to connect to various Fidessa services: 1. RDS Session (Real time data session) 2. Sync/Async Session (Request-response) 3. Opub session (Publish-Subscribe) 4. Query Protocal(Query to get some data)
