No, unless the channel is a MuxChannel, which you get as result of 
JChannelFactory.createMuxChannel. Then the dispatcher registers under a 
certain ID, and the Receiver under another. Check out

for details

Note that you can use the Dispatcher to do both anyway: castMessage() 
has a mode parameter, which can get GroupRequest.GET_ALL (block for all 
replies, minus the suspected ones) or GroupRequest.GET_NONE (wait for no 
replies), which is essentially asynchronous.
