FWIW I like the look of IBM's WorkManager beans and timers for asynchronous processing of stuff. There was some interesting stuff about it on this blog...

I was just thinking the other day how its a shame this stuff isn't a J2EE standard. This stuff might also help us do async deployment stuff etc?

Probably worth keeping in the back of our mind.

        Particularly:

"The three technical specifications are these: Service Data Objects, which
provides a common way to pull data from multiple data sources, such as
Extensible Markup Language-based file systems and relational databases;
Timer for Application Servers, a mechanism for scheduling processing jobs;
and Work Manager for Application Servers, for setting up processing tasks
in parallel."
