If your spawning a new thread to handle the 'request and invoke', I would imagine all you need to do is to terminal that thread and forward to the client a custom response of your choice like 'request successfully terminated, try again ?'
Once your at this point you can consider further options to clean up the provider if that's a concern. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 January 2005 14:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: abort call.invoke (SOAP client call) Hi, I'm trying to make a GUI application which is getting data through SOAP using Apache Axis. User can make a request for fetching data (by pressing some button), after which action he can deside, he don't need that data - by pressing stop button. When a user presses that "request" button, I create new thread with SOAP call (create service, get call, call.invoke). And when he presses stop button and this new thread is still running, I need to abort call.invoke (close the socket throught which more data is coming - I need to do something similar to pressing stop button in your browser. If response is very long, you can stop it. I need the same thing, but with SOAP response). Anyone knows how can I do that (if it's impossible using axis, anyone knows of other RPC method, which supports it)? Thanks for any advice, Petr ------------------------ sample scenario: -- user requests data -- new thread created, SOAP service created, call.invoke called -- short SOAP request sent over network -- very long SOAP response is coming (~ 4MB over 256kbit line, 15 seconds total) -- user pressed stop button (10 seconds of transfer still left) -- I need to close socket and don't accept data. Because I don't know, how to abort call.invoke, I let it finish and than throw away the received data. It's really stupid - user's line is fully loaded and for nothing. And he can press the "request" button again and now we have two responses coming (one valid, one old) - and this kills my application ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you know?
