Hello folks,

I have the following stateless session bean:

@Stateless
@LocalBean
public class Bean {
    @Asynchronous
    public void methodA(){
        // do something...
    }

    @Timeout
    public void methodB(Timer timer) {
       methodA();
    }
}

When I call methodA from outside the bean, it is invoked asynchronously (as
expected). However, when methodA is called from methodB, it is invoked
synchronously. Any explanation for that? I couldn't find anything
@Asynchronous section of the spec.

Thanks,
Theo
