Is there clean way to pass context data to @Asynchronous ejb call?

Question

In wildfly I execute stateless ejb method asynchronously (it is mapped with @Asynchronous annotation). In the calling method I have some context information in thread local. What is the best way to pass this data to async method? I don't want to add additional parameter to async method signature.

Answer 1

Essentially you have only 2 options:

1. Passing value as a parameter
2. Storing that value in some global place. Like static variable.

The first option is much cleaner and easier. Don't use the second one :)
