Not all Web services work synchronously; in some situations, responses to Web service requests are not provided immediately, but rather sometime after the initial request transactions complete. Such asynchronous operations aren't explicitly supported by Web services specifications and standards; however, those standards do include the infrastructure and mechanisms on which asynchronous operations can be based. In this article, Holt Adams explains why any Web services architect needs to understand how asynchronous operations work. This article will help you begin to adapt your own services for an asynchronous environment.
