java @Asynchronous Methods: not running async

Question

I try to get an async process running. Based on this example: http://tomee.apache.org/examples-trunk/async-methods/README.html

But the method addWorkflow(Workflow

Answer 1

So the normal way would be to have the @Asynchronous method in another bean from the caller method.

@Stateless
public class ComputationProcessor {

 @Asynchronous
 public Future performComputation {
   return new AsyncResult(null);
 }
}

@Stateless
public class ComputationService {

 @Inject
 private ComputationProcessor mProcessor;

 public void ...() {
   Future result = mProcessor.performComputation();
   ...
 }
}

As you discovered, it won't work if the @Asynchronous method is in the same bean than the caller.
