Oracle SALT Interoperability

The following topics are discussed in this section:

 

Interoperability with Web Service Clients

Oracle SALT supports most Web service client programs accessing inbound Tuxedo services.

The SALT WSDL generator ( tmwsdlgen) generates WSDL 1.1 specification compliant WSDL documents that can be published to most standard UDDI servers.

Table 1 lists certified Web service client toolkits that are interoperable with Oracle SALT.

Interoperability with Web Service Servers

Oracle SALT supports most external Web Service applications that are described using WSDL 1.1 standard documents with the exceptions listed in Table 2.

Table 2 Non-Supported Web Service Descriptions by Oracle SALT
WSDL Description
Explanation
RPC/literal message style
GWWS servers support only RPC/encoded and document/literal SOAP message style for outbound services. If RPC/literal message style is defined in the external WSDL file, the converted non-native WSDF file cannot be accepted by SALT configuration compiler.
<wsdl:import>
SALT WSDL converter cannot recursively retrieve the nesting WSDL document defined using <wsdl:import>.
HTTP binding
WSDL 1.1 specification defines HTTP GET & POST binding besides SOAP binding. HTTP GET & POST binding describes the interaction between a Web browser and a Web server using simple HTTP protocols.
Although the GWWS server supports HTTP transport, only SOAP protocol compliant XML messages are supported on the wire. If a WSDL document contains a HTTP GET & POST binding, this binding is ignored by the SALT WSDL converter.
WS-Policy Attachment
The SALT WSDL converter does not support WS-Policy attachments defined in the WSDL document. If WS-Policy attachments are defined in the WSDL document, policy information is ignored by the SALT WSDL converter.
MIME binding
SALT WSDL converter does not support any message-level MIME format association.
SOAP header and headerfault messages
SALT WSDL converter does not support <soap:header> and <soap:headerfault> descriptions in the WSDL 1.1 document. All <soap:header> and <soap:headerfault> messages defined for the wsdl operation are ignored by SALT WSDL converter.
More than one SOAP Fault message
SALT WSDL converter does not support more than one fault message to be defined for a WSDL operation.
