Sounds like you're talking about a pattern based on a pair of correlated oneways, or?

CXF would treat the original invocation and the corresponding callback as two /separate/ oneway MEPs.

Whereas the wsa:replyTo is used by CXF to route the response corresponding to a request forming part of the /same/ twoway MEP.

is associated with a different portType?  Can someone confirm?

I'm interested to know because the implementation of asynchronous
calls in ws-bpel seems to require this, in that the relationship of
the BPEL process with an asynchronous service provider is modeled as a
partner link with the role of each party associated with a distinct
portType.  For example:
    ...
    xmlns:plnk="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/plnktype";
    ...
    <plnk:partnerLinkType name="AsyncOperationPartnerLinkType">
        <plnk:role name="serviceProvider" portType="tns:ServicePortType">
        </plnk:role>
        <plnk:role name="serviceConsumer" portType="tns:CallbackPortType">
        </plnk:role>
    </plnk:partnerLinkType>

Callum.

Does CXF offer support option #2? via wsa for all supported transport?
Its supported for HTTP.
So, to make the link with another thread: is my understanding below
correct?

contrarily to axis2 where you have to specify a wireasync boolean to
convince the toolkit to implement option #2, CXF infers from the fact that
WSA:ReplyTo is non anonymous that the
programmer actually wants asynchronous-on-the wire and behaves
accordingly, namely routing the http 202 ACK synchronously and the Reply-To
SOAP message
asynchronously

Correct?  If yes, this is smarter!

Yes, the CXF server-side WS-A layer will automatically react to an imcoming
non-anonymous replyTo by responding with a 202 before continueing on the
dispatch path. The reply, when eventually ready, is then asynchronously on a
separate server->client connection.

On the client-side, if you want CXF to set up the decoupled response
endpoint, then some configuration is required ... e.g. the following config
fragment sets the client-side HTTP transport up to listen for incoming async
responses on localhost:9990/decoupled:

<http:conduit name="{http://tempuri.org}MyPort.http-conduit";>
 <http:client DecoupledEndpoint="http://localhost:9990/decoupled"/>
</http:conduit>
