I would really appreciate that. > The underlying framework you're using for the web-service requests will > have to be able to run asynchronously too.   This is also a great point, and at the moment I cant guarantee that it will be, however, I'm confident that it is, I've used other methods on it async style which send back signals which I listen for. I just want to get my own service to a point where I can be sure its Async, and if I'm still having problems then look at some threading choices.   Thanks Simon, if you wouldn't mind showing me an example of how to implement callbacks in the service I would owe you a beer.   Robert <HR id=stopSpelling> > Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 13:26:17 +0000 > From: simon.mcvittie@collabora.co.uk > To: dbus@lists.freedesktop.org > Subject: Re: Making asynchronous calls > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Thu, 07 Feb 2008 at 12:13:54 +0000, Robert Rawlins wrote: > > When I run this client code it prints "Made Calls" almost immediately and then over the next 10 seconds or so the service appears to call my callbacks and print the results of the calls to the screen, exactly as I would expect it too. However, If I change that first call to a web address I know doesn't work properly and will return really slowly then I don't get any callbacks called until the first web service call has timed out, then they are both called nice and quickly. > > > > Do you see what I mean? My service appears to be quing my requests, which means that if one request runs slowly then it clogs up the queue. > > I suspect your service implementation is at fault here.
