With respect to your comment:

³the invoke will be called and waits and times out²

It sounds like you¹re trying to model a long running operation as a
request/response operation within WSDL. If you do this, then you¹ll most
likely experience timeouts at the transport layer. A better implementation
is to split this long running operation into two port types. One to make the
request to start the work for the service and the other to provide an
operation for the service to call you back with the response. The start
operation would be a one-way operation or a request-response with a simple
ACK as the response (perhaps with some values to use for correlation). This
would be modeled in BPEL by an invoke followed by a receive activity.

You can create a partnerLinkType to model this by having a partner role for
the service you¹re invoking and a myRole for your callback point. In this
way, the relationship between the two port types is made explicit.

As for ODE, I have not tested this but I would think that there might be a
facility whereby you could have the endpoint reference for the partnerlink¹s
myRole automatically populate as the reply-to header when invoking a
service. It seems reasonable that the service invocation layer would support
this but you¹d have to check the docs or the source code to be sure.
