It all depends on how your Resource Adapter (RA) is implemented and
communicates with the EIS.  If it sends a message to the EIS in a
non-blocking/asynchronous way, that's just fine.

With 1.5, RAs can access EJBs just like other application components.  This
could enable the synchronous inbound you're looking for.
