Re: [Axis2] A question about asynchronous services and message queue

2006-03-14 Thread Dong Liu
I agree that Axis2 should be simple and lightweight, and just for soap processing. WS-RM does cover some of my requirements. However, I have a question in my mind about asynchronous "service" and "client" for a long time. As I know, the current implementation of async dual client in axis2 is to listen to a specific port, 6060 by default. That makes problem when running several async dual clients on the same machine at the same time. What I expect is to remove the difference between client and server so that all services can be accessed through the same port for a certain transportation, the http or tcp or JMS transportation components are always there listening, and the correlated service will be triggered based on ws-addressing.

It seems to me that you're looking for WS-Reliable Messaging like
features. Have you looked at Sandesha2? That will give behavior you're

I think the core Axis2 platform should continue to have a simple,
lightweight async model based purely on threads to cover simple
patterns. If you really need reliable, long running async behavior then

Maybe I should clarify my point here: A service can support asynchronous communication with a message queue stands before it, no matter whether or not this service is able to support asynchronous messaging by nature.
It is hard for an asynchronous service to handle long-run service requests without the support of a message queue and more important a persistence layer. I am not sure if they are correct. Any comments?
