I believe the OP wants to use the HTTPclient in a managed environment so no JNDI lookup is even required, simply inject it (EE7 full compliant container):
@Resource private ManagedExecutorService mes;
Then use it to fire off some runnables which use Jersery 2 Client APIs to make (and response process) the outbound HTTP connections you need to make. The threads running the HTTP connections will be container managed.
