Calling Asynchronous Web Service Methods Developed Using VB.NET
291736Jul 11 2004 — edited Sep 29 2004Hi,
I am currently in the process of evaluating some technical aspects of Oracle BPEL in order to adopt it as our workflow engine.
I am evaluating its integration capabilities with Web Services developed using VB.NET since this is the development platform we are using for our client applications.
The problem I am facing all the time is that when I create a web service using VB.NET, .NET automatically creates 2 methods for this web service: Sunchronous and Asynchronous. I tested these against another client application and I was able to see these 2 methods and use them successfully. However when I try to access this web service from Oracle BPEL (Partner), I am able to see ONLY those Synchronous methods. I have no access what so ever to the Asynchronous ones.
Example: I created a web method namely GetData(). .NET automatically created 3 methods for this method:
GetData() - Synchronous method
BeginGetData() - Asynchronous method/callback
EndGetData() - Asynchronous method/callback
From BPEL designer I am only able to see/access the GetData method !!!
Any ideas ??!!!!
Thanks in advance.
