Behaviour of calls to @Asynchronous methods within an SSB?

[jeanluc]

I am curious... if within an SSB the code calls an @Asynchronous method within the same class but declared in the business interface, when the asynchronous call is made, is it made to the bean object (thus bypassing all J2EE interceptors) or is it treated as if it were an EJB client? It obviously matters for transaction, security and so on.

Thanks.

It is just made to the bean object.

Just did some testing. It is indeed so and because the call doesn't get through any interceptors, The @Asynchronous annotation is ignored and the call is made within the same thread, as with a regular method invocation.
