hi,

WSIF <http://ws.apache.org/wsif/overview.html> is a service invocation 
framework that can invoke any service described in WSDL. service 
invocation is handled by a WSIF providers that encapsulates one 
invocation protocol/transport and corresponds to a binding in WSDL. the 
WSIF SOAP provider is using AXIS to create SOAP invocation and there are 
providers for SOAP/JMS, EJB, JCA, local Java classes. you can also add 
your own provider and describe WSDL binding to trigger this invocation 
provider.

HTH,

alek
