Use WSIF to invoke Web services

You invoke a Web service dynamically by using the WSIF API directly.

You specify the location of the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file for the service, the name of the operation to invoke, and any operation arguments. All other information needed to access the Web service (the abstract interface, the binding, and the service endpoint) is available through the WSDL.

This kind of invocation does not require stub classes and does not need a separate compilation cycle.

See about using the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) to invoke Web services, see the following topics:

 

• Linking a WSIF service to the underlying implementation of the service.
• Develop a WSIF service.
• Use complex types.
• Use WSIF to bind a JNDI reference to a Web service.
• Example: Passing SOAP messages with attachments using WSIF.
• Interacting with the Java EE container in WAS.
