[weld-dev] Should EventImpl.fireAsync use ExecutorServices from the ServiceRegistry

[Martin Kouba]

Hi Benjamin,

If no Executor is provided - either fireAsync(U event) or no executor 
set to the notification options - Weld uses the Executor returned from 
org.jboss.weld.manager.api.ExecutorServices#getTaskExecutor() or 
ForkJoinPool#commonPool() if no ExecutorServices is registered. In other 
words, it's up to the integrator which Executor is used.

And yes, Event#fireAsync(U, NotificationOptions) javadoc is outdated - 
in the first versions it was only possible to pass an Executor.

What does the NPE look like?

Thanks,

Martin
