Use the WSIF providers

A WSIF provider is an implementation of a WSDL binding that can run a WSDL operation through a binding-specific protocol.

Providers implement the interface between the WSIF API and the actual implementation of a service. Providers are pluggable within the WSIF framework and are registered based upon the namespace of the WSDL extension that they implement.

WebSphere Application Server - Express includes these WSIF providers:

• Use the SOAP provider
• Use the Java provider

Note: Some providers use the J2EE programming model to use J2EE services. If a provider is available, but its required class libraries are not, the provider is disabled.
