A few thoughts from this page: http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/HTTPGateway What about performance and tuning considerations? David W, was working on XSLT in/out of a gateway (it was faster the smooks for him) he was writing around Web Services, should that idea be included in this gateway. Does that even make sense? In the "Synchronous/Asynchronous Responses" To be worked out!! Currently using the Service MEP to decide whether or not the gateway should wait on the Service response (mep=RequestResponse), or deliver an empty response immediately (mep="OneWay"). Kev has indicated that we can't use the mep, so we need to find out how it should work. section. Why should we mandate one or the other, why can this not be configurable. Why would we change the "semantics" for this option around mep, although maybe that is not a valid thought either. I think both sync and async should be support with this, with hopefully the same kind of configurations as the mep parameter?
