The implementation and invocation of asynchronous Web services is important to application development. UIs, which expose functionalities of Web services, have become increasingly interactive. As a result, asynchronous invocations and implementations have become more useful and effective, ultimately helping provide a better overall user experience. This article gives you an overview of different patterns for asynchronous scenarios in Web services and provides insight into how to implement them with Apache Axis2.
