Interaction with a container is limited to these aspects:
- The WebSphere administrative console and WCCM allow users to define Web services to WebSphere. As part of the definition of a service, the administrator might define a preferred port.
- WSIF makes log and trace calls to the WebSphere Server JRAS services.
- Some providers use the J2EE programming model to use J2EE services.
- WSIF wraps the use of container services so that when WSIF is run in an unmanaged (thin) environment, the operation can succeed.
