Install and managing WSIF

An overview of where and how the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) is installed as part of WebSphere Application Server, and a set of links to specific information about other aspects of managing your WSIF system.

Overview

WSIF is provided in a JAR file named com.ibm.ws.runtime_6.1.0.jar. The JAR file contains the core WSIF classes, and the Java, EJB, SOAP over HTTP and SOAP over JMS providers. Additional providers are packaged as separate JAR files.

When you install WebSphere Application Server, the com.ibm.ws.runtime_6.1.0.jar file is put on the WebSphere or JVM class path.

WSIF requires no further configuration. WSIF is a thin abstraction layer between application code and the relevant invocation infrastructure.

For information about managing your WSIF system, see the following topics:
