Question

We are planning to use CXF to generate Java classes for our Java client code. And I’ve read that CXF is thread-safe see CXF FAQ.

But what I cannot find is whether 2 calls in 2 threads to the same soap service are executed at the same time or whether one will be blocking the other?

So we have multiple threads calling the same soap service instance like

class TestSoapRunner implements Runnable {
  private TestSoap testSoap;

  public TestSoapRunner(TestSoap testSoap) { // <- all threads use same TestSoap instance
    this.testSoap = testSoap;
  }

  public run() {
     ...
     testSoap.test();  // <- in multiple threads. is one call blocking others???
     ...
  }
}

and I need to know if only one soap call is executed at the same time i.e. one call blocks all other calls until it finishes; or whether all calls go through at the same time.

Answer 1

They all go through at the same time.
