Learning about the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF)

The Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) is a Web Services Description Language (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, you 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. You can therefore work with the same programming model regardless of how the service is implemented and accessed.

Note: You should not use WSIF for new applications in WebSphere® Application Server, unless you are supporting an existing WSIF configuration. You should instead adopt a more recent open standard, such as the Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) programming model.
