[Axis2] Allowing users to set their own replyTo value

[Chamikara Jayalath]

Hi All,

I got a requirement to allow users to set their own URL for the replyTo value in a ServiceClient 'sendReceiveNonBlocking' invocation. It seems like following code-block in the 'execute' method of OutInAxisOperationClient always replaces the replyTo value with its own endpoint ( i.e. the URL of the listner started by Axis2 client).

if (options.isUseSeparateListener()) {
       
    EndpointReference replyToFromTransport = ..........;
    if (mc.getReplyTo() == null) {
               mc.setReplyTo(replyToFromTransport);
    } else {
              mc.getReplyTo().setAddress(replyToFromTransport.getAddress());
    }
}

But in my scenario, I just want to set my own ReplyTo value and I will take care of the listners etc. So I basically want Axis2 to let my message go without starting its listner (and without overriding the replyTo value I set). This can be achieved with the following change.

if (options.isUseSeparateListener()) {
    callbackReceiver.addCallback(mc.getMessageID(), callback);

    if (mc.getReplyTo() == null) {
            EndpointReference replyToFromTransport = ..........;
            mc.setReplyTo(replyToFromTransport);
    }
}
            
This seems like a general requirement for me. What do u all think  ?
