<P>
Instructs the runtime to dispatch using the async method
on service if continuations are available. This only applies
to the JAX-WS frontend at this time.
Instead of calling the "X methodName(Y, Z...) method, it will
call the "Future<?> methodName(Y, Z, ... AsyncHandler<MethodResponse>)"
method passing in an AsyncHandler that you will need to call when
the response is ready. An example would be:
<pre>
public Future<?> greetMeAsync(final String requestType,
final AsyncHandler<GreetMeResponse> asyncHandler) {
final ServerAsyncResponse<GreetMeResponse> r = new ServerAsyncResponse<GreetMeResponse>();
new Thread() {
public void run() {
//do some work on a backgound thread to generate the response...
GreetMeResponse resp = new GreetMeResponse();
resp.setResponseType("Hello " + requestType);
r.set(resp);
asyncHandler.handleResponse(r);
}
} .start();
return r;
}
</pre>
The use of the org.apache.cxf.jaxws.ServerAsyncResponse class for the response
as shown above can simplify things and is recommended.

it will use the non-async method. If you ALWAYS
want the async method called, set this to true. However,
that can cause threads to block.
