To support external Web Service applications, external WSDL documents need to be converted. The SALT conversion utility, wsdlcvt, converts external wsdlcvt documents to Oracle Tuxedo specific definition files (SALT Web Service Definition file, Oracle Tuxedo Service Metadata Repository Definition file and FML32 Field Table Definition file).

The SALT Web Service Definition file can be imported into a SALT Deployment file and utilized by a particular GWWS server. The Oracle Tuxedo Service Metadata Repository Definition file and FML32 Field Table Definition file provide service interface descriptions for Oracle Tuxedo client programming.
