async invocations with ORBit

["Robert Staudinger" <rstaudinger tksb2000 fh-sbg ac at>]

Hello, 

i wasn't able to find the answer in the archives:
does ORBit support async (cancellable?) method invocations?

If not is it a good idea to call the server from a separate thread?

Thanks for any advice, 
Robert
