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 getSPI(Class<Object>).

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 WSEndpoint and then to 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 WSEndpoint.getContainer(). In the client runtime, it can be accessed from ContainerResolver.getContainer()
