method asyncInvoke

This method creates the moniker and calls the method without waiting for completion. If the target is specified by a moniker, the created instance is released after the method call completes.

function asyncInvokeListener()
{
	this.onAsyncInvokeComplete = onAsyncInvokeCompleteFunc;
}

function onAsyncInvokeCompleteFunc(result, outVal)
{
    //code to use the result and return value of the method call
}   

//main program
function main()
{
    var messageObj = shell.serviceManager.basics.message;
    var timerObj = shell.serviceManager.basics.timer;
    var messageListener = new asyncInvokeListener();
    
    messageObj.fromURI("ee://aol/basics/bigInt?method=compare&a0=100");
    
    //this should return result = 0; outVal = -1
    messageObj.asyncInvoke(messageListener, 5000);

    //calling asyncInvoke with an object    
    var bigInt = shell.serviceManager.basics.bigInt;
    var argList = shell.serviceManager.basics.array;
    argList.addValue(-100);

    messageObj.target = bigInt;
    messageObj.method = "compare";
    messageObj.arguments = argList;
    
    //this should return result = 0; outVal = 1
    messageObj.asyncInvoke(messageListener, 5000);
    
    //user must provide message pumping code here in order to make sure
    //program doesn't exits before the listener gets called
