Launching events to elements that react to these events is a good mechanism for solving many kinds of problems during development. However, sometimes it is necessary to call a class method without blocking the process until this method completes the execution.
An asynchronous EJB method is a mechanism of EJB that allows the client to call a method and receive its return as soon as the method is invoked. The return of a method is in control of the asynchronous call represented by the Future<T> object. The client can control the execution of the asynchronous method. These actions can cancel the invocation method, check whether the invocation is completed, check whether the invocation has launched an exception, and check whether the invocation was cancelled.
