Learning about the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF)

The Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) is a WSDL-oriented Java API. You use this API to invoke Web services dynamically, regardless of the service implementation format (for example enterprise bean) or the service access mechanism (for example Java Message Service (JMS)).

 

About this task

Using WSIF, we can move away from the usual Web services programming model of working directly with the SOAP APIs, towards a model where you interact with representations of the services. We can therefore work with the same programming model regardless of how the service is implemented and accessed.
