| <p>The client connection interface ("CCI") provides a |
| uniform mechanism for accessing services hosted inside the ODE |
| container from objects outside the container. For example, |
| through the CCI a client can connect to a running BPEL service |
| to inspect the state of a process instance; similarly, a Servlet |
| may use the CCI to notify a ODE SOAP service that a new message |
| has arrived.</p> |
| |
| <p>The CCI supports marshalling of invocations for arbitrary |
| interfaces that are defined by each particular service provider. |
| Both blocking and non-blocking operations are supported.</p> |
