Servlet 3.1 asynchronous processing

[rakcheru]

Wildfly 8.1.0 RC1

Hi,

I am trying to use asynchrnous processing in a servlet. For AsyncContext.start(Runnable), the java ee 7 documentation says

"Causes the container to dispatch a thread, possibly from a managed thread pool, to run the specified Runnable. The container may propagate appropriate contextual information to the Runnable."

In wildfly 8.1.0 RC1, asyncContext.start(Runnable) is NOT spanning a new thread but executing the runnable's code within the original request thread.

Is that the intended behavior ? I am under the impression that the server should span a new thread for Runnable's code.

Thanks for the clarification in advance.

Can you post or attach the relevant code and also explain how you are testing the behaviour?

I think this is an issue (still present in 8.1.0 CR1) and I created [WFLY-3295] AsyncContext#start runs in caller thread - JBoss Issue Tracker
