title: Sending SOAP response back and then continue executing the method?
body: <p>I have a Ruby application which consumes a web service that is implemented in Java. The Ruby application basically invokes a method in my web service, and returns a string after its completion.</p>
  
  <p>I don't want it to wait for the method to finish and return a string, instead, it should close the connection and free the worker so that it could start the same process for a different set of input.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas how I can do this? Is there a way that the method could send back the response 'OK' first and then keep executing? </p>
