2.1 Overview

The SALT Web Service Definition File (WSDF) is an XML-based file used to define SALT Web service components (for example, Web Service Bindings, Web Service Operations, Web Service Policies, and so on). WSDF is a SALT specific representation of the Web Service Definition Language data model. There are two WSDF types:

• Native WSDF (Tuxedo generated)
  A native WSDF is composed manually. You must define a set of Tuxedo services and how they are exposed as Web services in a native WSDF. The native WSDF is similar to the SALT 1.1 configuration file.

  Note:

  A native WSDF is the input file used by the SALT WSDL generator (tmwsdlgen).
• Non-native WSDF (Externally generated)

  A non-native WSDF is generated from an external WSDL file via the SALT WSDL converter (wsdlcvt). In most cases, you do not need to change the generated WSDF except for configuring advanced features.

  For more information, see tmwsdlgen and wsdlcvt in the SALT Reference Guide.
