I'm wondering if a w.s deployed under Axis (and running in Tomcat)
can have persistence such that it can receive event notifications
asynchronously over a fairly long period of time. For ex., suppose
I want to this:
public String foo() {
while (long_standing_condition_is_true) {
// receive notification
return "return_string";
}
return "blah";
}And I want to invoke foo() from somewhere else by sending the
SOAP message defined for the operation foo in this web service's
WSDL. Will I get a new instance of this web service for each
invocation? Can I arrange that a designated instance of this
web service is the recipient of the notifications?
While servlets can use HTTP session Ids and w.s. aggregation
implementations such as BPEL use mechanisms like WS-Address or correlation sets to match replies to responses, does Axis and/or
Tomcat support something similar for web services?
