Why not?


<mje> Because it is £*&$^%"* complicated, that's why.  </mje>

I think it should be possible.

<mje> Why?  What's the use case?  Just because we COULD do the combination of
function doesn't mean that we should do so - especially if it complicates matters </mje>

asyncInvocation is just a
req-res where the response is sent over a separate connection. This is
independent of callbacks. Yes, it is possible to do a asyncInvocation
using callbacks and one-way operations. But the critical difference here
is that the asyncInvocation consists of only one reply/response.


<mje> I agree.  But why would you want to mix the two mechanisms in one service interface? </mje>
