I was asked to put my simplified async proposal in the wiki so experts can
better understand and discuss it.
So here it is:
http://java.net/projects/jax-rs-spec/pages/SimplifiedAsyncSupport
Please post comments in this mailing list. :-)
To sum up a few points from previous discussions:
* Broadcast and Pub/Sub is not part of the proposal, but should be simple to
implement ontop.
* No more need for polling or suspending, due to an updated attempt (using
Callable instead of Future).
* Should be the most simple to learn and apply for programmers, as there is
either nothing to learn (Callable) or just one annotation to add (@Async).
* Should be rather easy to implement for JAX-RS implementation vendors, but
opens a lot of possibilities for them like applying work stealing etc).
