I've an spring component which has some methods as @Async.
I want to create a private method and run @Async but it won't works because spring doesn't help self invocation from withing the bean...
Is there a simple way to allow a specific private method to allos AOP @Async? or is just simpler to get a threadpool and execute manually?
instead of calling your async method on this, inject the bean and call the method on the bean. here is a example:
public class MyService {
@Lazy
@Autowired
private MyService myService;
public void doStuff() throws Exception {
myService.doStuffAsync();
System.out.println("doing stuff sync.");
}
@Async
public void doStuffAsync() throws Exception {
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(3);
System.out.println("doing stuff async.");
}
}
@Lazy!myService.doStuffAsync() instead of this.doStuffAsync()
allow a specific private method. Spring AOP cannot advise private methods .
You can submit the task to a ThreadPoolTaskExecutor directly.
This is more flexible than injecting the proxy bean into the class itself, as @Yevgeniy suggest. In my opinion, its less confusing to someone looking at your code.
It also avoids the whole issue with the class getting proxied, which can mean you need to use @Getter/@Setter's on the async class methods.
In my experience, there have been too many quirks to @Async to make it worth it, and the actual amount of typing you're saving is minimal.
Example:
var future = executor.submit(() -> myAsyncMethod())
