Well, yes, at the transport-level the interaction is sort of asynchronous.
But from the application-level it would appear to be synchronous.
[Unless of course the JAX-WS async callback/pollable model is used, but
this is a choice orthogonal to any asynchrony in the transport]
So I would see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-1156
Look like WS-RM makes more sense for aysncronous invocation and one way
invocation (quite similar to JMS reliability), rather than a standard
request-response pattern.
So the above issue wont be a very valid case. Am I right?
