Answer 1

A simple alternative that can work in many situations:

1. Execute a normal web service from the client.
2. On the server, start the job in a new thread and return with a status like "job started"
3. When the job is finished, let the server send the result back to the client.

Advantages:

• It's simple!
• You get a quick result that tells if the job is accepted.

Disadvantages:

• Both the client and server must listen for incomming web services.
• Often requires an id handling to match the result with the original task.
