The following topics are discussed in this document:
BEA SALT (Service Architecture Leveraging Tuxedo) 1.1 provides a native Web service stack for Tuxedo. It enables you to access Tuxedo services via the SOAP/WS-* protocol. BEA SALT is configuration-driven. No programming tasks are required and you can easily export existing Tuxedo services as Web services.
Used in conjunction with the Tuxedo Service Metadata Repository, BEA SALT publishes industry-standard WSDL documents/files which can be used transparently by any Web service client.
BEA SALT implements a standard Tuxedo system process, The GWWS server, which acts as a gateway between Tuxedo applications and Web service clients. Existing Tuxedo applications can be published as Web services without requiring modification or programming tasks.
BEA SALT includes a WSDL document file generation utility, tmwsdlgen. Another included utility, wsadmin, allows the administrator to dynamically reload service definitions to the GWWS server and monitor runtime statistics.
For more GWWS, tmwsdlgen, and wsadmin, information, see the
BEA SALT Reference Guide.
