Abstract
An asynchronous transport enables decoupling the delivery of an operation's request and response messages, from the request and response cycle of a single exchange on the transport. The response message need not be delivered as the response to the initial transport request, but can instead be delivered by the web service to a response endpoint or other location selected by the client, using a new connection originating from the service. In accordance with an embodiment, the client communicates with the web service via request messages that include a SOAP header, formatted according to an XML format, and conveyed using the HTTP. The asynchronous transport automatically deploys, for a client, an endpoint reference that will ultimately receive corresponding response messages. This allows the response to ultimately return to the client application in a manner consistent with the JAX-WS specification, without the developer having to change their original client application.
