1. A method for providing asynchronous callbacks from a network server to a client that is unreachable by the server, the method comprising the steps of:

  • registering a callback request from the client with a first callback server that has its own first network address and that is not part of the network server and that is configured to receive a callback request from the client and create a web service endpoint URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address corresponding to the callback request, the web service endpoint URL address being based on the first network address of the first callback server;

    creating a web service at the first callback server, the web service being based on interface description of service provided by the network server;

    generating a second network address for the web service based on the web service endpoint URL address;

    sending the second network address to the client;

    receiving an asynchronous callback at the second network address; and

    making the asynchronous callback available to the client.
