title: Asynchronous web service SOAP
body: <p>I have an interface that I've exposed as a regular SOAP web service. One method of the interface consists for the client to send a file to the server, then the server processes the file and returns a result file. Processing the file may take some time, so I think using asynchronous invocation of this method is a better idea. I thought about the following flow:</p>
  
  <p>The client invokes the asynchronous method and sends the file using an attachment (MTOM).
  When the file is received by the server, a response is sent back to the client indicating that the file has been received and that it will be processed shortly.
  Once the file is processes, a response is sent back to the client indicating it has been processed and a result file is returned in the response also as an attachment.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible using SOAP with CXF?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
