[MOBY-dev] async services

[Romina Royo]

Hello!

This is how I understood that async services should work (and how I'm 
implementing them so far).
Please anyone correct me if I'm doing it wrong!

For example:

The service runClustalwFast (authURI inb.bsc.es) is an asynchronous 
service.

It can be executed in a synchronous mode (like all sync services):

my $Service = MOBY::Client::Service->new(service => $WSDL);
my $result = $Service->execute(XMLinputlist => [['sequences', [$data,$data2]
                                        ]]);

and this would return the normal moby message.

Or it can be called in an asynchronous mode:

my $Service = MOBY::Async::Service->new(service => $WSDL);
my $result = $Service->execute(XMLinputlist => [['sequences', [$data,$data2]
                                        ]]);

which would _submit, _poll and finally return the results.

Is this the behauviour everyone is expecting?

Thanks!
