SALT provides a plug-in mechanism that supports custom typed buffers. You can validate the SOAP message against your own XML Schema definition, allocate custom typed buffers, and parse data into the buffers and other operations.

XML Schema built-in type xsd:anyType is the corresponding type for XML documents stored in a SOAP message. While using custom typed buffers, you should define and represent the actual data into an XML format and transfer between the Web service client and Oracle Tuxedo Web service stack. As with XML typed buffers, only a single root XML buffer can be stored in the SOAP body. The GWWS checks this for consistency.
