Hi-

I have a Seam app that manages long running processes.  I needed more control over queueing/prioritization so I did not use the Asynchronous annotation but rather made my own framework that uses the java.util.concurrent package.  My worker threads rely on Lifecycle.begin() and Lifecycle.end() calls so they can have access to the application context.  Things appear to be working fine but I just wanted to check in and make sure I wasn't using these methods inappropriately or perhaps there was a more Seam friendly way of doing threads.

Thanks-
