Hello Daniel, Thanks for your answer. I think I have understood the CXF implementation. But what I want to know is, if the behavior described in the spec (“a oneway method returns the thread of control to the calling application prior to executing the actual business method”) and which seems implemented by CXF team is mandatory or not ?

In the case of OneWay's and HTTP, it's specifically talked about in section 10.4.1.2: ---------------------- HTTP interactions are request-response in nature. When using HTTP as the transfer protocol for a one-way SOAP message, implementations wait for the HTTP response even though there is no SOAP message in the HTTP response entity body. ♦ Conformance (One-way operations): When invoking one-way operations, an implementation of the SOAP/HTTP binding MUST block until the HTTP response is received or an error occurs. Note that completion of the HTTP request simply means that the transmission of the request is complete, not that the request was accepted or processed. -------------------------- So basically, on the client side, we block on the server sends back a response (normally a 202 with no body for a oneway, but the WSI-BP does allow for a 200 response code.). That does make the server side processing a bit more complex. Normally, you would want the server to send back that 202 as quickly as possible to release the client thread. In CXF, we have an interceptor on the incoming chain that runs right after the READ phase that will check if the target operation is a oneway or not and send the 202 at that point if possible.
