Hi Michele,
Thank you very much. I have 2 more queries:-
1. onComplete() call back method:-
The webservice server would send response and callback method onComplete()
would be called everytime a response is received. If the processing logic
implemented in onComplete() (like XML parsing , database transactions) take a
bit long to execute, would it mean response message objects received from
server would pile up? Can this cause any issue with memory, performance etc?
Anyway, I can move the processing logic to a different class and create objects
of the new class everytime a response comes. Do you see any issue with this
approach?
public void onComplete() {
this.received.incrementAndGet();
// eventually do something here
if (isComplete()) {
synchronized(lock) {
lock.notify();
}
}
}
2. I am planning to use Axis2 version 1.3. Callback implementation with this
version is a bit different and the generated code (from Axis2 WSDL2Java)
creates a stub and a callback class where I can implement the processing
functionality.
I had to increase the setTimeOutInMilliSeconds() parameter in my generated stub
to receive long running requests from the server. Previously my client was not
able to catch long running requests .Is this correct?
Thanks and Regards,
Chiradeep

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

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();
}
}
}
}

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