[jboss-remoting-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBREM-591) Make asynchronous calls using Transporter

Make asynchronous calls using Transporter ----------------------------------------- Key: JBREM-591 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBREM-591 Project: JBoss Remoting Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: transporter Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1 (Boon) Reporter: vivek v Fix For: 2.5.3.Beta (Flounder) This came out of the user forum question, http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=89224 Currently, there is a mechanism to do asynchronous calls and callbacks using InvocationHandler. As more and more people are using POJOs (via Transporter) for remoting it would be great if we can have the same features (both asynchronous calls and callbacks) available for the Transporter. Couple of use cases can be, Asynchronous Call ----------------------------- 1) Client makes a simple method call (using POJO) on server 2) Server gets the request and returns immediately to the Client. Now Client is free to do its own stuff without waiting or polling for the result. 3) Server starts processing the request 4) When the response is ready Server sends the response to the Client. Callbacks -------------------- 1) An alert happens on the server side 2) Server should be able to send the alert to the Client without Client requesting for it.
