This all depening on your requirement and your business rules. If the requrement say that you always need to query your customer database for "fresh" customer data, and you nne dto look up that customer before you do the next task. An asynchronos integration does not support your business rules. it always falll back to your requirements. If you can not keep up with the requirement above. then you need to maintain a copy of your customer database localy in AR System. -- Jarl 2010/8/18 John Baker <jba...@javasystemsolutions.com>: > Gavin's second point: > > "You will probably not want to use synchronous integrations (I.e.
