2. Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) | By: | | License: | Apache Software License | URL: | http://ws.apache.org/wsif/ | Description: | The Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) is a simple Java API for invoking Web services, no matter how or where the services are provided. Please refer to the release notes before you proceed with using WSIF.
WSIF enables developers to interact with abstract representations of Web services through their WSDL descriptions instead of working directly with the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) APIs, which is the usual programming model. With WSIF, developers can work with the same programming model regardless of how the Web service is implemented and accessed.
WSIF allows stubless or completely dynamic invocation of a Web service, based upon examination of the meta-data about the service at runtime. It also allows updated implementations of a binding to be plugged into WSIF at runtime, and it allows the calling service to defer choosing a binding until runtime.
Finally, WSIF is closely based upon WSDL, so it can invoke any service that can be described in WSDL.
