How, and to what extent, WSIF interacts with the J2EE container that is provided in WebSphere Application Server.

You can interact with a container in any of the following ways:

Use the application server administrative console to define Web services to WebSphere Application Server. This task is described in Using the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and Installing and managing WSIF. As part of the definition of a service, the administrator might define a "preferred port".
Use the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) to make log and trace calls to the JRAS services in WebSphere Application Server, as described in Trace and logging for WSIF.
Use WSIF providers to access Java 2 platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) services. For example, use the EJB provider to access the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and make calls to remote enterprise beans.
Use WSIF to wrap the use of container services so that, when WSIF is run in an unmanaged (thin) environment, the operation can succeed.
