@Async call blocks in @PostConstruct

[zmirc]

Hi!

Shouldn't async methods not block even if they are called in @PostConstruct?
Here is the sample code, which blocks if ran in Tomee 1.6.0 2013.10.23 / 05

import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.ejb.Asynchronous;
import javax.ejb.Singleton;
import javax.ejb.Startup;

@Singleton
@Startup
@Asynchronous
public class Async {
    
    @PostConstruct
    private void init() {
        // pretending to initialize, then to call one of the methods
        doingHardWork();
    }
    
    public void doingHardWork() {
        System.out.println("Working hard START");
        try {
            Thread.sleep(1000 * 10);
        } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(Async.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
        System.out.println("Working hard END");
    }
    
}
