Interacting with the J2EE container in WAS

 

How, and to what extent, WSIF interacts with the J2EE container that is provided in WAS.

 

Overview

You can interact with a container in any of the following ways:

 

Procedure

• Use the appserver console to define Web services to WAS. This task is described in Use the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and Installing and managing WSIF. As part of the definition of a service, the administrator might define a "preferred port".

• Use the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) to make log and trace calls to the JRAS services in WAS, as described in Trace and logging for WSIF.

• Use WSIF providers to access J2EE services. For example, use the EJB provider to access the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and make calls to remote enterprise beans.

• Use WSIF to wrap the use of container services so that, when WSIF is run in an unmanaged (thin) environment, the operation can succeed.
