[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-710) Require default event ExecutorService to be managed on Java EE

[Matej Novotny (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-710?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13448342#comment-13448342 ] 

Matej Novotny commented on CDI-710:
-----------------------------------

ATM the only async operation in CDI are async events. It seems like a bit of an overkill to enforce this requirement.
Besides, what would be the gain? As it stands, you can [define your own executor|https://github.com/cdi-spec/cdi/blob/master/api/src/main/java/javax/enterprise/event/NotificationOptions.java#L48] for async event notification so you can even use the one from Concurrency utilities. 

I might be missing some pieces, but I see no harm in leaving this up to integrator/impl. This way, a CDI implementation can (for instance) provide an SPI through which an integrator will supply the default executor services. So the integrator has the power to choose if Conc. utils suffice, or if they prefer something else.

> 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.
