Hi,
TO make async you've got to make the call from the ejb instance, you cannot
make the call this way. Remember, the 'ejb proxy' does the magic, if you re
inside the ejb and call a method, the call will be locally (not using proxy
magic stuff).
You can inject the instance of the same ejb on a field and then make the
invocation to the another method. In this way, the async will work.
