Prior to EE7, you might want to use WorkManager from JSR 237

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/1.4/api/javax/resource/spi/work/WorkManager.html

This spec is currently withdrawn, still some app servers implement it. I use ibm implementation in WebSphere 8.5 - IBM WorkManager. It is fully managed resource, available in administration console. Please note that it is not interface-compatible with Oracle.

Here is an example for IBM version:

@Resource(lookup = "wm/default")
WorkManager workManager;

public void process() {
    try {
        ArrayList workItems = new ArrayList();
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
            // submit 100 jobs
            workItems.add(workManager.startWork(new Work() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " Running");
                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }

                @Override
                public void release() {
                    System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " Released");
                }
            }));
        }
        // wait for all jobs to be done.
        workManager.join(workItems, WorkManager.JOIN_AND, 100000);
    } catch (WorkException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Also I am aware of Commonj Workmanager.
