Only when your start method is called BY MSC can you call context.asynchronous(). As mentioned above the purpose of this method is to tell MSC that <em><strong>when it is starting a service, that the service did not complete startup</strong></em>. Otherwise, once the start method called by MSC returns, the service is started</p></blockquote><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Put another way this is the chain of events that should happen for it to work</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><pre class="jive-pre"><code class="jive-code jive-java">MSC Thread X:
