I recognized the following blog this morning: Concurrency Utilities for Java EE Early Draft (JSR 236) [1]
Will this be available at some point in TomEE (and OpenEJB) at some point? Also, the following was mentioned in the blog: Using Java SE concurrency utilities such as java.util.concurrent API, java.lang.Thread andjava.util.Timer in a Java EE application component such as EJB or Servlet are problematic since the container and server have no knowledge of these resources. Is the above statement true with TomEE? I am asking, because I am planning to use the Timer service in my JSF web app. I did see the TomEE schedule-expression and schedule-methods examples on the TomEE examples page, so that tells me that I can use Timer service and 'rely' on it. Please answer first question above (most of all). Thanks. [1] https://blogs.oracle.com/arungupta/entry/concurrency_utilities_for_java_ee
