Answer 1

If you use some tool like WSDL2Java for client generation, you can even choose to generate an asynchronous client. It will generate for you a callback handler with empty methods for each of the service operations and exceptions of the service. You then can just implement those methods to set the actions to do when the response is received. Remember that when an asynchronous call is done a new thread is started.
