It is simpler than that. I want to use the asynchronous server feature of Axis2. On the client, Axis2 launches a simple http service to wait for the response (the separate listener) and on the server side, axis2 invokes the business logic of the web service on a new thread which returns its results to the separate listener on the client.

see http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-axis2/#N10147 for a better explaination of what I need.

thanks

What do you mean with running asynchronous at the server?
Are you saying that you have a lot of threads implementing the service
And that each thread end has to be reported to the client some way?

Betreff: Pointers for building an asynchronous web service

Can anyone recommend a tutorials with working samples to show how to
build an asynchronous web service using axis2. Something that actually
runs and works with Axis 2 1.5.4. There are a lot of articles out there
but most are out-dated and/or only have incomplete code snippets.

Here is what I am trying to do: I have a web service that takes a long
time to complete. What I need to do have this run asynchronously on the
server and then return the results to the client in a separate Listener.
I am starting with a wsdl file and using wsdl2java to generate the
client and server code (options -a -sd -ss). Running async on the client
works fine but I cannot get it to run async on the server.

I know I have to add:

              stub._getServiceClient().engageModule("addressing");

stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setUseSeparateListener(true);

to the client.

And also to add:

<parameter name="messageReceiver.invokeOnSeparateThread">true</parameter>

to services.xml.

But, I notice that my service skeleton class is still being called
synchronously. The problem is that AbstractMessageReceiver.recieve() is
not calling it in a thread because the message context replyTo is null.
So the service is still being called synchronously. Also the client is
not receiving a response - I expect this to be because the client
expects the server to respond asynchronously.

Thanks
