Require default event ExecutorService to be managed on Java EE -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-710 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-710 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Events Reporter: Guillermo González de Agüero When running on a Java EE environment, CDI should use a managed executor service by default for asynchronous operations. This is already required by the JAX-RS 2.1 spec (http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/jcp/jaxrs-2_1-pfd-spec/index.html), section 5.8: {quote}In an environment that supports the Concurrency Utilities for Java EE [13], such as the Java EE Full Profile, implementations MUST use ManagedExecutorService and ManagedScheduledExecutorService, respectively. The reader is referred to the Javadoc of ClientBuilder for more information about executor services.{quote} Containers will presumably offer monitoring features and thread pool configuration options for managed executor services.
