Hi,
Does CXF support WS-Polling (http://www.w3.org/Submission/ws-polling/)? Or some similar mechanism for one-way HTTP connections? For those unfamiliar with WS-Polling, please note it's not "response.isDone() polling"... WS-Polling means that when a service finishes calculating a response, it doesn't send it back to the client, but rather stores it on the server machine, until the client asks (polls) for it, using a dedicated protocol. That's low-level control on the way/timing responses travel on the wire - as opposed to "response.isDone()" which is an abstract API that assumes nothing about the underlying connection management (we would be glad if this API could transparently use WS-Polling behind the scenes). We became interested in WS-Polling after eliminating some other options: - WS-ReliableMessaging is an overkill for us: our messages are not critical, and don't need reliability. - WS-Addressing with <ReplyTo> is problematic because our clients are not allowed to open a ServerSocket. Thanks very much.
