Annotation Type UseAsyncMethod
Instructs the runtime to dispatch using the async method
 on service if continuations are available.  This only applies
 to the JAX-WS frontend at this time.
 Instead of calling the "X methodName(Y, Z...) method, it will
 call the "Future<?> methodName(Y, Z, ... AsyncHandler)"
 method passing in an AsyncHandler that you will need to call when
 the response is ready.   An example would be:
  
 public Future<?> greetMeAsync(final String requestType,
                               final AsyncHandler asyncHandler) {
     final ServerAsyncResponse r = new ServerAsyncResponse<>();
     new Thread() {
         public void run() {
            //do some work on a backgound thread to generate the response...
            GreetMeResponse resp = new GreetMeResponse();
            resp.setResponseType("Hello " + requestType);
            r.set(resp);
            asyncHandler.handleResponse(r);
         }
    } .start();
    return r;
 }
   
 The use of the org.apache.cxf.jaxws.ServerAsyncResponse class for the response
 as shown above can simplify things and is recommended.-
