Using WSIF to invoke Web services

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

About this task

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.

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.
