Task service
Introduction
This service is capable of running tasks asynchronously. The service instance returned will not invoke the runnable task in the current thread.
In addition to allowing pooling, this method will ensure that the threads executing the tasks will have the thread local variables copied from the calling thread. This will ensure that call to static methods like Application.getCurrent() still work.
Also, note that this executor service will be shared among all Restlets and Resources that are part of your context. In general this context corresponds to a parent Application’s context. If you want to have your own service instance, you can use the wrap(ExecutorService) method to ensure that thread local variables are correctly set.
