Exactly my point, it doesn't relate, so you can't use it with JAX-RS.
HTTP expects a response, 'void' + @Asychronous, there is no response for
EJB clients.

Back to our old argument, so I won't go there...

Wrong. Async EJBs is so that the client execute one or more tasks in
the background. It has nothing to do with managed threads in the Java
EE container other than a possible implementation detail.
