Hello all,
Could you help me understand the workings of an @asynchornous call?
When two calls are made to the same @Asynchronous method. Should the 2nd call wait for the first one to finish?
Please let me give you some context:
I've created a seam application which at deploy time starts a timed call on a SLSB.
(@Observer("org.jboss.seam.postInitialization"))
The method being called takes some time (just under 5 minutes in some cases).
It scans a database table for new stuff and process those.
The method is timed at a 1 minute interval.
What I observe is tat a call to the method actually waits for the former call to finish.
I expected a second bean taking the call in another thread and executed in parallel.
Is my expectation wrong or have I made some programming mistake somewhere down the line?
Hope someone here can enlighten me :)

Hi,
the called method is probably synchronized. what is the scope of the bean?
