[MOBY-dev] Calling moby-async category services

[Paul Gordon]

Hi Sylvie,

The current class that implements asynchronous service calls is 
MobyRequest (via AsyncClient).  You can find both synchronous and 
asynchronous services by setting the Service category to the empty 
string ("") before calling CentralImpl.  As Martin mentions below, the 
mechanism currently used to run asynchronous services will change next 
year (so there will probably be other ways to call async services 
introduced), but the MobyRequest API will not need to change.  
MobyRequest handles both synchronous and asynchronous calls transparently.

Regards,

Paul
