@Async not working for me

Question

I am using @Scheduled and it have been working fine, but can\'t get the @Async working. I tested it many times, and seems that it is making my method asynchronous. Is there

Answer 1

This is a complementary answer to the accepted one. You can call an async method in your own class, but you have to create a self-referential bean.

The only side-effect here is that you cannot call any async code inside the constructor. It is a nice way to keep your code all in the same place.

@Autowired ApplicationContext appContext;
private MyAutowiredService self;

@PostConstruct
private void init() {
    self = appContext.getBean(MyAutowiredService.class);
}

public void doService() {
    //This will invoke the async proxy code
    self.doAsync();
}

@Async 
public void doAsync() {
    //Async logic here...
}
