Spring has a ThreadPoolTaskExecutor class that you can use to manage your thread pool from Spring. However, it looks like you'd have to do some work to make the Spring context available to each thread.

I'm not sure if it will work even if you do wire it up this way though. Spring uses a token in thread local to locate objects in request (or session) scope, so if you're trying to access a request scope bean from a different thread, it's likely that token won't be there.
