Question: Does SOAP support call-back?

Hi, 

            I am trying to switch from JAVA RMI to SOAP. Does SOAP
support call-back? If it does, how? Thank you.

It does not support call back in a way like RMI.

SOAP lacks many capabilities that RMI has.  The SOAP 1.1 spec lists in
Design Goals the following things that SOAP does *not* do:

  a.. Distributed garbage collection
  b.. Boxcarring or batching of messages
  c.. Objects-by-reference (which requires distributed garbage collection)
  d.. Activation (which requires objects-by-reference)
