JBOSS 6M5, EJB 3.1 Asynchronous method not running Asynchronously ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJBTHREE-2190 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/EJBTHREE-2190 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Bug Environment: Red hat linux 5.5 & solaris 10 (SPARC) jboss6-M5 java 1.6.0_22 Reporter: Jamie Blake Annotated EJB 3.1 @Asynchronous method not running asynchronously. Created simple Java EE project, depoyed to both glassfish 3.0.1 and jboss 6-M5. Glassfish appears to run asynchronously, jboss seems to block on the call and wait for the method to execute. Here is the simple code example: package com.syncme; import javax.ejb.Local; @Local public interface TestAsynchLocal { public void methodAsynchronous(); public void methodNonAsynchronous(); } package com.syncme; import java.util.logging.Level; import java.util.logging.Logger; import javax.annotation.Resource; import javax.ejb.Asynchronous; import javax.ejb.SessionContext; import javax.ejb.Stateless; @Stateless public class TestAsynch implements TestAsynchLocal { @Resource SessionContext sctx; @Asynchronous public void methodAsynchronous() { try { System.out.println("methodAsynchronous starting"); Thread.sleep(10000); System.out.println("methodAsynchronous done"); } catch (InterruptedException ex) { Logger.getLogger(TestAsynch.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } } public void methodNonAsynchronous() { System.out.println("methodNonAsynchronous starting"); TestAsynchLocal localAsynch = sctx.getBusinessObject(TestAsynchLocal.class); localAsynch.methodAsynchronous(); System.out.println("methodNonAsynchronous done"); } } Call from web: package com.wbean; import com.syncme.TestAsynchLocal; import javax.ejb.EJB; import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean; import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped; @ManagedBean(name="jsfmanbean") @SessionScoped public class NewJSFManagedBean { @EJB private TestAsynchLocal testAsynch; /** Creates a new instance of NewJSFManagedBean */ public NewJSFManagedBean() { } public String Next() { return "NEXT"; } public void RunLong() { testAsynch.methodNonAsynchronous(); } } Here are the outputs: Jboss 6M5 run: 17:51:40,803 INFO [STDOUT] methodNonAsynchronous starting 17:51:40,804 INFO [STDOUT] methodAsynchronous starting 17:51:50,805 INFO [STDOUT] methodAsynchronous done 17:51:50,805 INFO [STDOUT] methodNonAsynchronous done Glassfish 3.0.1 run: INFO: methodNonAsynchronous starting INFO: methodNonAsynchronous done INFO: methodAsynchronous starting INFO: methodAsynchronous done -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
