Work can be scheduled for asynchronous execution by submitting it to the runtime ExecutorService thread pool. To obtain a reference to the service, use the Fabric3 @Resource annotation:
public class SomeComponent ... {
@Resource
protected ExecutorService executorService;
@Reference
protected TargetService targetService;
public void doSomething() {
executorService.submit(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// invoke the service
targetService.invoke();
}
}
}
}
The executing thread will inherit the current component work context during the time the submitted Runnable is invoked.
Note that in most cases SCA one-way operations (@OneWay) should be used instead of manually submitting asynchronous work as less code is required.
