[MOBY-dev] Calling moby-async category services

[Sylvie Huchet]

Bonjour Paul,

Thanks for the update, but this is not enough.
If the handler has to be null, the code of performAsyncSOAPRequest must be
modified to get the data : The data is got back only if the following test :
"if(newDataAvailable.size() > 0 && handler != null)" is true, which is never the
case.

Regards,
Sylvie.
