REMITT stands for:
REMITT Electronic Medical Information Translation and Transmission

(It is a recursive acronym.)

It is a system for translating documents from one format to another,
then transmitting them. It was designed to be used for medical billing
and claim submission using XML files. It uses XSLT and XML, and is
written in Java as a J2EE application.

This application should be able to be dropped into a Servlet container
like Apache Tomcat and run with little to no configuration. The
system property "remitt.properties" can point at a configuration file to
override default config properties which are defined inside the war
file.

(In Debian or Ubuntu packaged tomcat instances, you would add
"-Dremitt.properties=/path/to/my/remitt.properties" to the options passed
to tomcat in /etc/defaults/tomcat or /etc/defaults/tomcat55, depending on
the version you're using.)

The only prerequisite for installing this software is importing the
database definitions from sql/*.sql into your working database server.

At the moment, MySQL is the supported / preferred database server. The
remitt user should probably have all privileges on the remitt database,
but also SELECT on mysql.proc (otherwise you'll need
"noAccessToProcedureBodies=true" in the JDBC URL).

Remote Services Information:
REST services are exposed at /remitt/services/rest/service/(functionname)
and SOAP services are available through the WSDL at
/remitt/services/interface?wsdl
