Ran into this in the TCK EE 7 JAX-RS Async tests.  JAX-RS javadocs don't 
forbid setTimeout() from being called in different threads, SO,  OF 
COURSE, the TCK EE 7 TCK tests this!  I'm going to bring this up with 
the JAX-RS expert group and this is something we should challenge on the 
JAX-RS side.

Right now, to fix the problem, I run a ScheduledExecutorService with no 
initial threads to call AsyncResponse.cancel().  Which of course won't 
work if you reset the timer to something higher than the original 
timeout :)
