osc callbacks

while working with processing and max over osc, i realized that my code worked without callback functions. why are they necessary?

thanks,

Hi, more details or a small example addressing the question you are asking would be helpful. If you are only sending messages from processing to max, you do not need any callback functions.

i originally posed a long question with long code for the problem i was having, but i figured it out and couldn't delete it. i didn't want someone spending time on it, so i asked this instead. it's not so much a problem, but while solving my issue, i noticed that my sketch worked with or without the callbacks, so i was wondering what they are for.
