A description of how, and to what extent, WSIF interacts with the
J2EE container that is provided in WebSphere Application Server.
Why and when to perform this task
Interaction with a container is limited to the following aspects:
Steps for this task
- Using the application server administrative console to define
Web services to WebSphere Application Server. This task is described in Using the Java Naming and Directory Interface
(JNDI) and WSIF system management
and administration. As part of the definition of a service, the administrator
might define a "preferred port".
- Using the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) to make log
and trace calls to the JRAS services in WebSphere Application Server, as described
in Trace and logging for WSIF.
- Using WSIF providers to
access Java 2 platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) services. For example using the EJB provider to access the Java
Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and make calls to remote enterprise
beans.
- Using WSIF to wrap the use of container services so that, when
WSIF is run in an unmanaged (thin) environment, the operation can succeed.
