How to get the identity from an asynchronous event or invocation

[william.drai]

Hi all,

It seems that the asynchronous handling in Seam does not propagate the current identity component in the newly created thread session context.
Is there some other way to know who started an asynchronous call ?

You could probably supply the identity as a parameter to the async call.

@Async..
public void doStuff(Identity identity) {

}

I came to the same conclusion.
I was just wondering if there was something more 'automatic'.
It is not extremely elegant to have this parameter in all asynchronous calls.

Did anyone find a more elegant solution?
