How, and to what extent, WSIF interacts with the Java EE container that is provided in WebSphere® Application Server.
About this task
You can interact with a container in any of the following
ways:
Procedure
- Use the application server administrative console to define
web services to WebSphere Application Server. This
task is described in Using WSIF to bind a JNDI reference to a web service. As part of the
definition of a service, the administrator might define a "preferred
port".
- Use the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) to make
log and trace calls to the JRAS services in WebSphere Application
Server, as described in Tracing and logging WSIF.
- Use WSIF providers to
access Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) services. For example,
use the EJB provider to
access the Java Naming and Directory Interface
(JNDI) and make calls to remote enterprise beans.
- Use WSIF to wrap the use of container services so that,
when WSIF is run in an unmanaged (thin) environment, the operation
can succeed.
