WSIF

This set of components integrates with the Apache Web Service Invocation Framework (WSIF) to perform web service invocations using a number of different implementation protocols like Axis, local Java, EJB, JMS, JCA CCI etc.

Configuration example

The following example shows how to bind a WSDL which is adorned with WSIF additional metadata to configure the service implementation.

Here is an example of how in WSIF you can enable a service to be exposed over a JMS topic or queue

Working with XML versus properties.

The JBI standard says you must encode WSDL 1.1 parts using an XML encoding mechanism. We support this model. However in addition we also allow the message properties to be used with WSIF as the named parts to avoid unnecessary XML marshalling. For example here is a Java example using the ServiceMix Client API in a WSIF style of working, passing in and fetching out named parameters.
