3.1 Overview

SALT is a configuration-driven product that publishes existing Oracle Tuxedo application services as industry-standard Web services. From a Web services client-side programming perspective, SALT (used in conjunction with the Oracle Tuxedo framework), is a standard Web service provider. You only need to use the SALT WSDL file to develop a Web service client program.

To develop a Web service client program, do the following steps:

  1. Generate or download the SALT WSDL file. For more information, see Configuring SALT
  2. Use a Web service client-side toolkit to parse the SALT WSDL document, and generate client stub code. For more information, see SALT Web Service Client Programming Tips.
  3. Write client-side application code to invoke a SALT Web service using the functions defined in the client-generated stub code.
  4. Compile and run your client application.
