I'm using JBoss 7.1.1 final. I have a stateful EJB with an asynchronous method. From a jsp I call a synchronous method of the previous EJB and this method call the asynchronous one of the same EJB via proxy.

@Stateful
@Remote(IExcursionDAOWithPrefetch.class)
public class ExcursionDAOWithPrefetch implements IExcursionDAOWithPrefetch {
  @Resource SessionContext ctx;
  @EJB(lookup=...) IExcursionDAO excursionDAO;

  ...

  public Excursion findExcursionById(int id, boolean loadCoordinates) {
    // Retrieve from cache
    Excursion excursion = cache.getExcursionById(id);
    if(excursion == null) {
        // Retrieve from database
        excursion = excursionDAO.findExcursionById(id, loadCoordinates);
        logger.info("excursion not in cache");
    }
    else {
        logger.info("excursion in cache");
    }
    ctx.getBusinessObject(IExcursionDAOWithPrefetch.class).loadCache(excursion);

    return excursion;
  }

  @Asynchronous
  public void loadCache(Excursion excursion) {     
    if(excursion != null) {
        cache.invalidateCache();
        cache.addExcursion(excursion);
        List<Excursion> closeExcursions = excursionDAO.findCloseExcursions(excursion, 10);
        if(closeExcursions != null) {
            for(Excursion exc : closeExcursions) {
                cache.addExcursion(exc);
            }
        }
    }
  }
}

loadCache() method is executed asynchronously but the jsp awaits its end even though it calls findExcursionById() method (and not loadCache()).

Can someone help me?
