Hmmmm ..... There is a condition in the AsynchronousInterceptor which prevents @Asynchronous calls to be made from @Asynchronous methods ... Why ? !Contexts.getEventContext().isSet(AbstractDispatcher.EXECUTING_ASYNCHRONOUS_CALL) | @AroundInvoke | public Object aroundInvoke(InvocationContext invocation) throws Exception | { | boolean scheduleAsync = invocation.getMethod().isAnnotationPresent(Asynchronous.class) && | !Contexts.getEventContext().isSet(AbstractDispatcher.EXECUTING_ASYNCHRONOUS_CALL); | if (scheduleAsync) | { | Dispatcher dispatcher = AbstractDispatcher.instance(); | if (dispatcher==null) | { | throw new IllegalStateException("org.jboss.seam.async.dispatcher is not installed in components.xml"); | } | Object timer = dispatcher.scheduleInvocation( invocation, getComponent() ); | //if the method returns a Timer, return it to the client | return timer!=null && invocation.getMethod().getReturnType().isAssignableFrom( timer.getClass() ) ? timer : null; | } | else | { | return invocation.proceed(); | } | } | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4087994#...
