Re: [cdi-dev] API for dispatching of async events

If async events will be processed in similar way as async EJB methods - usually implemented in app servers as one shared thread pool with limited application control (discard policy, ...), both of these events will share one thread pool and some type of events could fully blocked it and "stop" application.

If threre will be some policy API like: java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService dispatch(T event, Annotation... qualifiers) it will allow application to decide which thread pool should be used for which type of event. In EE environment, it must be ManagedExecutorService looked it up from JNDI, in SE environment it could be ExecutorService created for applications needs.
