Learn 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 JMS).

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

To learn about WSIF, see the following topics:

 

• Goals of WSIF.
• WSIF Overview.
  1. WSIF architecture.
  2. WSIF and WSDL.
