Recalling the discussion in Native Java Code (POJO) Invocation incorporating WSIF is
technically possible but has not been done so far. Apart from other priorities such as
covering the BPEL specification and integrating with the designer, WSIF is a Java
framework, intended to deal with Java objects, not XML info items.
It is not clear to me what requirements WSIF would address. These days, with EJB3 and
JSR-181/JAX-WS, it is trivial to turn a session bean or a plain object into a web service.
Performance is another word that is mentioned. However, as explained in the topic
referenced in the previous paragraph, the real performance hit comes from XML binding.
From the perspective of a (standard) BPEL process having XML-typed
variables, the best performing invocations occur with partners able to process XML
directly or with minimal transformations, compared to partners that require complex
binding to an object graph.
Local vs. remote invocations are a separate issue outside the scope of the BPEL engine. It
depends on the underlying web service implementation and network stack.
If you could shred some light on what your requirements are for WSIF, it'd be great.
