I don't even know if this is possible with SOAP over HTTP. I'm thinking of implementing a turn-based computer bot tournament, where the bots' code reside in the client computer. A bot would login to the server, and wait for its turn. The server then would notify the the client upon some server-side event. In other words, a "push" model, instead of having many clients polling the server asking "is it my turn yet? is it my turn yet?".
The reason I want to use web-service model is that I want to give bot writers the maximum freedom in choosing their language of preference for the implementation of their bots. Can this be done with the Axis framework, submitting "event notifications" to a cilent?
