Unsolicited SOAP responses

Hi,

In some applications it is important to be able to receive unsolicited notifications. Typical example is a device monitoring. Constant polling might be too expensive. C# provides ways to process this. Is there any way to resolve this with apache SOAP toolkit?

Thanks,
Slava.

To me, this sounds like a server that receives messages (versus RPC).  I would create a service that
uses the MsgJavaProvider (rather than the RPCJavaProvider), assuming there is not supposed to be a
response from the service (such as to acknowledge receipt of the notification).

Basically, to receive responses to a specific request, one uses the Apache SOAP client classes, in
particular Call.  To receive messages that are not responses to a request, one creates a service
that runs in the context of the Web (servlet) container.
