The typical behaviour for REQUEST_REPLY is as follows:
- The request message is sent from the service consumer to the service
- The service consumer remains blocked while awaiting the reply
- The service remains blocked while processing the reply
- The METAR-SPECI, the reply message, is sent from the service to the service consumer.
In this case the service is based on WFS Geoserver and follows the behaviour of the Geoserver.
