Carl, At first, invokeOneWay() is not for a asynchronous communication in exact meaning of the word. There're three modes in JAX-RPC 1.0 specification. a) Synchronous Request-response Mode b) One-way RPC Mode c) Non-blocking RPC Invocation
The a) is a synchronous method as the invoke(), and the b) is just an one-way method as the invokeOneWay(). I think the c) is an asynchronous method what you want to use. But the spec says, "A JAX-RPC runtime system is not required to support the non-blocking RPC interaction mode. This interaction mode will be addressed in the future versions of the JAX-RPC specification." Then, it will be added in JAX-RPC version 2.0 (JSR-224). -- Toshi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Wed, 15 Oct 2003, EXT / ALTIOR CABOU Carl (DR&T) wrote: > Hi all !! > > Does anybody ever used the method : > org.apache.axis.client.Call.invokeOneWay(Object[] params) ??! > It is supposed to do an asynchronous call to the remote service, but the > javadoc says "NOTE: the return immediately part isn't implemented yet". > So what's the point ? does it mean that the method don't create an extra > thread for the call just like simple "invoke" ??!! > > Best regards. > > Carl. >
