Here is an overview of where and how WSIF is installed as part of WebSphere Application Server, and a set of links to specific information about other aspects of managing your WSIF system.
Why and when to perform this task
The Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) is provided as a stand-alone JAR file named wsif.jar. The JAR file contains the core WSIF classes, and the Java, EJB, SOAP over HTTP and SOAP over JMS providers. Additional providers are packaged as separate JAR files.
When you install WebSphere Application Server, the wsif.jar file is put on the WebSphere or Java Virtual Machine (JVM) class path.
WSIF requires no further configuration. WSIF is a thin abstraction layer between application code and the relevant invocation infrastructure.
For specific information about other aspects of managing your WSIF system, see the following topics:
