Using injected proxies for asynchronous tasks

When using tasks, you can also create your own executor. If you have very specific needs, an executor could really come in handy.

This recipe shows you how to create a proxy executor that can be injected and used in the whole context of your application.

Getting ready

Let's first add our Jakarta EE 8 dependency:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax</groupId>
            <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
            <version>8.0</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
