You could consider using Connectors WorkManager. See the discussion at
Work Management Contract at
http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/bnckb.html
The WorkManager does not give a rich interface such as Future but is
backed by a Thread pool. You would then write a simple resource adapter
, use a Work instance to send your notifications and submit such Work
instances to the WorkManager for execution.
