Bug 1146764

Created attachment 941358 [details]
reproducer

Description of problem:
Platform BZ for https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-3833

I developed the following WS endpoint that uses @UseAsyncMethod:

@WebService(...)
public class GreetingServiceImpl implements GreetingService {
    ...
    @WebMethod
    @UseAsyncMethod
    public String hello(String name) { ... }

    public Future<HelloResponse> helloAsync(final String name, final AsyncHandler<HelloResponse> asyncHandler) { ... }

My expectation with @UseAsyncMethod is that whenever the hello() operation is invoked helloAsync() is eventually executed on JBoss (WildFly 8 or EAP 6). However, it really is not.

I tested the same endpoint by launching it using Endpoint.publish(...) as well and it works as expected, so I don't think it's an issue with CXF itself but with JBoss WS integration.

Attached please see the complete reproducer project async.zip for detail.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
JBoss WS CXF

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy the reproducer (async.zip).
2. Invoke the 'hello' operation from SoapUI or any other WS client.
3. Check the server log.

Actual results:
You'll see the following message in the server log:
INFO  [com.redhat.samples.ws.GreetingServiceImpl] (default task-13) Hello, SoapUI! (SYNC)

Expected results:
The following message should be seen in the server log instead:
INFO  [com.redhat.samples.ws.GreetingServiceImpl] (default task-13) Hello, SoapUI! (ASYNC)
