The SALT Web Service Definition File (WSDF) is an XML-based file used to define SALT Web service components (Web Service Bindings, Web Service Operations, Web Service Policies, and so on). The WSDF is an SALT specific representation of the Web Service Definition Language data model. There are two WSDF types: native and non-native.

• Native WSDF

  A native WSDF is created manually. You must define a set of Oracle Tuxedo services and how they are exposed as Web services in the WSDF. It looks similar to the SALT 1.1 configuration file. The native WSDF is the input file for the SALT WSDL generator ( tmwsdlgen). For more information, see SALT Configuration Guide

• Non-native WSDF

  A non-native WSDF is generated from an external WSDL file that has been converted using the SALT WSDL converter wsdlcvt). Basically, you do not need to change the generated WSDF (except to configure advanced features). For more information, see Configuring Web Services.
