SALT leverages the Oracle Tuxedo Service Metadata Repository to define service contract information for both existing Oracle Tuxedo services and SALT proxy services. Service contract information for all listed Oracle Tuxedo services is obtained by accessing the Oracle Tuxedo Service Metadata Repository system service provided by the local Oracle Tuxedo domain. Typically, SALT calls the TMMETADATA system as follows:

• During GWWS server run-time.

  SALT calls the Oracle Tuxedo Service Metadata Repository to retrieve necessary Oracle Tuxedo service definitions at the appropriate time.

• When tmwsdlgen generates a WSDL file.

  SALT calls the Oracle Tuxedo Service Metadata Repository to retrieve necessary Oracle Tuxedo service definitions and converts them to the WSDL description.
