Is there an out of the box way to start a drools flow asynchronously?  I am running drools flow 5.1.0.M1 in JBoss and have a long running process to execute.  The application that initiates the flow must start the flow asynchronously so the applications web request can complete in a timely manner.  I don’t want to create my own threads in the app server and would like to avoid introducing JMS, but wasn’t sure if there are any other good options?

Thanks,

Todd
