Thank you for your response Michele.

My project requirement is:-

1. Make multiple, almost simultaneous calls for e.g. 1000 to the web service server.


OK, use a single ServiceClient/OperationClient object to send all your requests.


2. The server would take some time (could be hours) to send the response back and on receipt of the response client would process the response data received. The client has no further job after sending request to server to be done.

On this requirement, I thought of using asynchronous web service interface to the server as provided by Axis2.

Axis2 would use callback mechanism and polling mechanism to track when the response is received. So does this mean that all my 1000 client threads would be alive and in memory unless a response comes back from server? Until the client receives a response from server, the client has nothing to do in my case.

There's no need to create 1000 callback objects - one will be enough:


public class Sender {

        final int toSend = 1000;

        final Object lock = new Object();

        class MyCallback implements Callback {

                private AtomicInteger received = new AtomicInteger(0);

                // implement onFault, onError and onMessage

                public boolean isComplete() {
                        return toSend == this.received.get();
                }

                public void onComplete() {
                        this.received.incrementAndGet();
                        // eventually do something here


                        if (isComplete()) {
                                synchronized(lock) {
                                        lock.notify();
                                }
                        }
                }
        
        }


        public void sendMessages() {

                MyCallback callback = new MyCallback();

                // create ServiceClient and send your messages here

                for (int i = 0; i < toSend; i++) {
                        // create message
                        sender.sendReceiveNonBlocking(message, callback);
                }               
        
                // now wait
                while (! callback.isComplete()) {
                        try {
                                synchronized(lock) {
                                        lock.wait();
                                }
                        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                                Thread.interrupted();
                        } finally {
                                sender.cleanup();
                        }
                }
                

                
        }

}

In case of a JMS/MQ interface, I can create 1000 requests and put them in the queue and my JMS listener can pick up those responses once they start arriving. In this case, client would fire a request to server and would not keep waiting for response. Can this kind of functionality be implemented with Axis2 asynchronous web service?


See above. BTW you can use Axis2 + JMS as well.


I would appreciate any implementation suggestion on my requirement.

Thanks and Regards,

Chiradeep,

where's the problem?, JMS listeners run in separate threads as well.
Are you worried about the sleep() call? If so, it's only because the
main thread has to wait until the response has been received before
exiting - in the meantime the main thread could accomplish other
tasks as well.

Hi,

I am new to web service and AXIS2 engine. I have a basic doubt
about the asynchronous web service AXIS2 provides. Does it provide
a complete asynchronous communication? I have seen the following
code in AXIS2 site, the client basically waits until a response
comes from server. Comparing this with JMS/MQ communication, the
client does not wait when a message is put in the queue and a
seperate a seperate MDB picks up the response when send by server.

try {
            OMElement payload = ClientUtil.getEchoOMElement();

            Options options = new Options();
            options.setTo(targetEPR);
            options.setTransportInProtocol(Constants.TRANSPORT_HTTP);
            options.setUseSeparateListener(true);
            options.setAction("urn:echo");  // this is the action
mapping we put within the service.xml

            //Callback to handle the response
            Callback callback = new Callback() {
                public void onComplete(AsyncResult result) {
                    System.out.println(result.getResponseEnvelope());
                }

                public void onError(Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            };
            //Non-Blocking Invocation
            sender = new ServiceClient();
            sender.engageModule(new QName
(Constants.MODULE_ADDRESSING));
            sender.setOptions(options);
            sender.sendReceiveNonBlocking(payload, callback);
            //Wait till the callback receives the response.
            while (!callback.isComplete()) {
             Thread.sleep(1000);
            }
            //Need to close the Client Side Listener.
            } catch (AxisFault axisFault) {
              axisFault.printStackTrace();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
              ex.printStackTrace();
            } finally {
            try {
                sender.cleanup();
            } catch (AxisFault axisFault) {
                //have to ignore this
            }
        }


Can somebody share with me a sample asynchronous web service client
code using AXIS2 1.3?

Thanks and Regards,

Chiradeep
