Does anybody have any experience or advice on how to ensure that SOAP service call success/failures are returned to the calling app?

Consider a client that calls a SOAP service during which the client goes down and so is unable to receive the SOAP response, the working having being done by the service. Similarly, the SOAP service may perform the require task but a 'break down' in the return mechanism makes the caller think the process failed.

What would be the best way to ensure that the client is notified to avoid the call having to be made again?

Are there middleware tools that can be used to provide a form of message queuing using SOAP?

Thanks
