<h4><A NAME="wswsif">WSIF API</A></h4>
<p>The WSIF API supports the invocation of Services defined in WSDL. WSIF
is intended to be used in both WSIF clients and also in Web service intermediaries.</p>
<p>The WSIF API is driven by the abstract service description in WSDL; it
is completely independent of the actual binding used. This makes the API more
natural to work with, because it uses WSDL terms to refer to message parts,
operations, and so on.</p>
<p>The WSIF API was designed for the WSDL usage model; to pick a port that
supports the port type needed, then invoke the operation by providing the
necessary abstract input message consisting of the required parts, without
worrying about how the message is mapped to a specific binding protocol.</p>
<p>Other Web service APIs, for example SOAP APIs, are not designed on WSDL,
but for a specific binding protocol with its associated syntax; for example,
target URIs and encoding styles.</p>
<p>The WSIF API's main interfaces are described in the following help topics:</p>
