WSIF API reference: Finding a port factory or service

To find a port you use WSIFService, which is a factory for ports. The port factory models and supports the WSDL approach in which a service is available on one or more ports. The factory hides the implementation of the port from the user. WSIF supports "dynamic" ports that are based on a particular protocol/transport and configured using the WSDL at runtime. For example, the dynamic SOAP port can invoke any SOAP service based on the WSDL description of that service. The Service allows you to hide and modify this at runtime.

Here is the WSIFService interface.

To find a service from a WSDL document at a URL, or from a code-generated codebase, you can use the WSIFServiceFactory class.
