Chapter 4. Building Asynchronous Web Services

In this chapter, we'll talk about the motivations and reasons for asynchronous processing. Then, we'll see the basic implementation of asynchronous web services with JAX-RS. Then, we will have a look at improving our implementation using ManagedExecutorService and server-side callbacks. Finally, we will use the asynchronous JAX-RS API client to make REST calls, and explore the benefits and usage scenarios of asynchronous processing.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Benefits and usage scenarios of asynchronous processing
Implementing asynchronous web services
Using ManagedExecutorService and server-side callbacks
Implementing asynchronous web service clients
