Hello,
My name is Adrián Toporcer and I am a student from the Computer
Engineering Faculty of
Barcelona (Spain). I am doing my final course project and it involves
Axis2. I would be
grateful whether you could answer my doubt or whether, at least, you
could tell me where
is it answered. However I have not found the answer anywhere.
I need a web service that can be invoked from a PHP script (actually,
it is a script integrated in the Moodle platform) without waiting for
the result. The task of the web
service consists in writing in a database so there is no result at
all. This means that
the web service call should be done in an asynchronous way, but from
the PHP's web
service API(NuSOAP) it is not possible to make this kind of invocations.
I have found the next statement relative to Axis2: "Web services
implementation
invocation within the engine can be done either synchronously or
asynchronously.", so I
thought there should be a way to do it without worrying about the
technology from which
the call is made, but configuring Axis2 or the web service directly.
Actually I developed a web service that creates a thread which does
the "hard work", so
the web service ends almost immediately. However, it seems that when
two users call the
web service simultaneously the first call does not end properly. Maybe
it is something
related with Tomcat's thread pool and how it cleans the resources used
by the threads
that have already ended.
Can you tell me how should I proceed to make this asynchronous call to
the web service?
I hope that you understood my problem despite my poor english. Thank
you for your time.
Adrián.
