Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

In a ntshell my problem is that I cannot see any significant differance between code generate using the aSyncOnly vs the syncOnly paramter.

I am generating code from a wsdl (listed below) using WSDL2Java with the following parameters
http://swlgmsnetd1/iao/customerservice.asmx?WSDL -o .\generate -p com.wsdl.person -s
and get the following files generated
Customer.java
CustomerService.java
CustomerLocator.java
CustomerServiceSoap_BindingImpl.java
CustomerServiceSoap_BindingStub.java
CustomerServiceSoap_PortType.java
CustomerServiceSoap12Impl.java
CustomerServiceSoap12Stub.java
deploy.wsdd
undeploy.wsdd

if I change the last parameter from -s to -a the files are generated as follows:
Customer.java
CustomerService.java
CustomerLocator.java
CustomerServiceSoap_BindingStub.java
CustomerServiceSoap_PortType.java
CustomerServiceSoap12Stub.java

To access the web service I am using the following code (for either set of generated code)

CustomerServiceSoap_PortType customerServiceSoap = new CustomerServiceLocator().getCustomerServiceSoap();
Customer customer = customerServiceSoap.getCustomer(22);

I cannot see any difference between the generated class that my code uses and hence cannot see how I can turn my call from a synchronous call (which is what my code seems to be doing) to an asynchronous call.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciatted.

Thanks
