Re-entrancy problems using java server and vb client

[gr...@convergys.com]

This may be better posted to a ms group, but I thought I'd try here, first
to see if anyone has noticed the same behaviour.

I have a relatively simple soap server that I've written in Java.  It takes
the call, hits a database, and returns a result -- it takes a couple of
seconds to execute.  The client is written in VB, and it calls the server
with a command click event.

I've noticed that as soon as the soap call takes place, I can click the
command button again and again even though the first call hasn't come back.
This is very odd for vb, which is thread retarded, so I'm a bit confused.

I'm not sure where my problem lies.  I don't know if the problem is a
result of the ms soap transport, the vb code that I've written, or the way
the soap/tomcat server works.  Note, I have not used doEvents in my code,
the re-entrancy issue (I'm quite sure, anyway) is a result of soap.

Thanks for the consideration.
