I have an architecture question. Is there a spring-friendly approach for triggering long-running tasks? (through http for example). I would like to be able to query if that task is still running, failed, etc

I see that we have Async so that would solve the asynchronous aspect of the question. But what about status of the task, making sure it runs with a concurrency of 1 etc. And is there a way to do that for an unlimited amount of tasks (queuing them and having concurrency if wanted).

You can set up a Threadpool to execute Async tasks,

then another endpoint (JMX?) to query the status of the threadpool

If you create a qualified `ThreadpoolTaskExecutor` bean, you can use the `@Async(&lt;&lt;qualifier here&gt;&gt;) `  on your background method to use it

So there is no higher level of abstraction
