As most may know, Apache Axis does not support asychronous web services invocation via results callbacks.
.NET's web services implementation, however, does support asychronous invocation via results callbacks. This paper discusses implementing an asynchronous invocation framework using four patterns for asynchronous invocation ("fire and forget", "
400
;sync with server", "poll object", "results callback").
They also discuss how to implemt the framework using Axis, and provide benchmarks of the four patterns compared to synchronous invocation.
I believe async invocation support is being added to Axis in the future.
Does anyone know the timeline of when this feature will be supported?
