Interacting with the Java EE container in WebSphere Application Server
How, and to what extent, WSIF interacts with the Java™ EE container that is provided in WebSphere® Application Server.
About this task
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.
