The context.
An "in-container" WebService issues an asynchronous call to another Webservice.
My program works correctly... I just want to clarify a technical aspect.
In using JbossFinal7.1.1 and jbossws-cxf-4.1.1.Final.
It seems that the cxf stack has an 'odd' behavior, comparing to what I'm used to see. In an async call, the invoker is not supposed to get any answer from the outgoing call: the invokee will send the answer to the address specified in the 'ReplyTo' URL conveyed in the soap header.
The executing stack has to figured out that the receiver receives the payload, and that's it!
In my previous experiences, with other AppServer, I never saw a "payload" sent back..
I was a bit confused to see an answer coming from the invokee... Here the log...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, we're in the in-container WebService...
22:40:18,358 INFO (EJB default - 58) org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ReflectionServiceFactoryBean.buildServiceFromClass Creating Service {urn:ihe:iti:xds-b:2007}DocumentRegistry_Service from class org.apache.cxf.jaxws.support.DummyImpl
Here, just before the call (extract from the code) to the other WebService...

The invokee web service is started and send immediatly an ack with a "content" limited to the Headers, No Body (a non-empty body would not make sense...).
The invokee is also hosted by the same Jboss server
The payload is :
22:40:18,655 CONF (http-localhost-127.0.0.1-8080-3) com.ibm.ai.xds.webContext.XDSHandler.logMessage message sent... payload:[<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"><soap:Header><MessageID xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">urn:uuid:a62d5c9e-aa4d-4e72-a0a8-319eb16c70fb</MessageID><To xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/anonymous</To><ReplyTo xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"><Address>http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/none</Address></ReplyTo><RelatesTo xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/unspecified</RelatesTo></soap:Header><soap:Body/></soap:Envelope>]

And just after, the invoking thread (EJB default - 58) logged that the invoke returned which ends this thread execution (whic is correct)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although the program worked correctly, I'm curious to know what is the correct behavior...
For comparision, I never saw that kind of acknowledge, using Websphere Application Server...
Here a capture using TCPMON, showing that the receiving service just close the connection (on WAS), at the HTTP level (no SOAP payload at all)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
X-Powered-By: Servlet/3.0
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 0
IBM-WAS-Reset-Connection: TRUE
Content-Language: fr-CA
Connection: Close
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2013 03:14:29 GMT
Server: WebSphere Application Server/8.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this kind of detail left to the implementation of there is a requirement that is not correctly meet by one of those implementations.
Best regards,
