Examples of com.sun.xml.ws.api.server.Container

• com.sun.xml.ws.api.server.Container
  Root of the SPI implemented by the container (such as application server.)

  Often technologies that are built on top of JAX-WS (such as Tango) needs to negotiate private contracts between them and the container. This interface allows such technologies to query the negotiated SPI by using the {@link #getSPI(Class)}.

  For example, if a security pipe needs to get some information from a container, they can do the following:

  1. Negotiate an interface with the container and define it. (let's call it ContainerSecuritySPI.)
  2. The container will implement ContainerSecuritySPI.
  3. At the runtime, a security pipe gets {@link WSEndpoint} and then to {@link Container}.
  4. It calls container.getSPI(ContainerSecuritySPI.class)
  5. The container returns an instance of ContainerSecuritySPI.
  6. The security pipe talks to the container through this SPI.

  This protects JAX-WS from worrying about the details of such contracts, while still providing the necessary service of hooking up those parties.

  Technologies that run inside JAX-WS server runtime can access this object through {@link WSEndpoint#getContainer()}. In the client runtime, it can be accessed from {@link ContainerResolver#getContainer()} @author Kohsuke Kawaguchi @see WSEndpoint
