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:
- Generate or download the SALT WSDL file. For more information, see Configuring SALT
- 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.
- Write client-side application code to invoke a SALT Web service using the functions defined in the client-generated stub code.
- Compile and run your client application.
