Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for handling synchronous operations by means of asynchronous operations. Upon completion of an asynchronous operation, a state flag is accessed. The state flag indicates whether or not a sync-over-async wrapper/adapter requested execution of the asynchronous operation. The sync-over-async wrapper/adapter is currently blocked awaiting notice of completion of the asynchronous operation. Based on the state flag, results of the asynchronous operation are stored at a location accessible by the sync-over-async wrapper. A completion signal is sent to the sync-over-async wrapper.
