Programmatic API Integration Concerns

The standalone implementation provides no integration points. It is, as the name suggests, completely standalone.

At the moment, it is not possible to change the thread pool to which actions are offloaded. A single cached thread pool, obtained using Executors.newCachedThreadPool(), is used for all thread offloads.

Users of the standalone implementation that also use an event loop based library, such as Vert.x, may integrate the event loop support as described in Event Loop.

The CDI implementation will use the thread pool an integrator provides (see Thread Pool). This also extends to the context propagation integration (see Context Propagation).

It will also use the event loop support, if integrator provides one (see Event Loop).

In other words, runtimes that use the CDI implementation don’t have to do any extra integration work. The existing integration is enough.
