WebLogic Server 8.1 API Reference

weblogic.webservice.async
Interface FutureResult

public interface FutureResult

The FutureResult object acts as a placeholder for the impending result of an asynchronous invoke of a Web Service.

For example, assume a Web service has an operation with the following signature:

String buy(String ticker, int num);

To invoke the operation asynchronously, you use the following two methods from the clientgen-generated stubs:

FutureResult startBuy(String ticker, int num, AsyncInfo ctx);
String endBuy(FutureResult res);
