在实际开发场景中，不需要等待某个方法执行完成而继续往后执行，那么我们可以将这个方法加上@Async注解放入后台线程（或线程池）中异步执行。简单示例代码如下：
先使用@EnableAsync来开启异步的支持，配置一个线程池：
@Configuration
@EnableAsync
public class ThreadPoolConfig {
private static int corePoolSize=30;
private static int maxPoolSize=100;
private static int queueCapacity=100;
private static int keepAliveSeconds=300;
@Bean
public TaskExecutor jobExecutor() {
ThreadPoolTaskExecutor executor = new ThreadPoolTaskExecutor();
// 设置核心线程数
executor.setCorePoolSize(corePoolSize);
// 设置最大线程数
executor.setMaxPoolSize(maxPoolSize);
// 设置队列容量
executor.setQueueCapacity(queueCapacity);
// 设置线程活跃时间（秒）
executor.setKeepAliveSeconds(keepAliveSeconds);
// 设置默认线程名称
executor.setThreadNamePrefix("async-job-thread-");
// 设置拒绝策略rejection-policy：当pool已经达到max size的时候，如何处理新任务 CALLER_RUNS：不在新线程中执行任务，而是有调用者所在的线程来执行
executor.setRejectedExecutionHandler(new ThreadPoolExecutor.CallerRunsPolicy());
// 等待所有任务结束后再关闭线程池
executor.setWaitForTasksToCompleteOnShutdown(true);
return executor;
}
}
然后在指定需要异步执行方法上加入@Async注解，并自定线程池（当然可以不指定，直接写@Async）
@Async("jobExecutor")
public void asyncUpdateOrders(){
logger.info(Thread.currentThread().getName()+"异步执行");
}
程序执行入口主程序：
@RequestMapping(value = "/asyncUpdateOrders")
@ResponseBody
public String asyncUpdateOrders(HttpServletRequest request) {
try {
logger.info(Thread.currentThread().getName()+"主线程请求异步执行asyncUpdateOrders");
ordersService.asyncUpdateOrders();
logger.info(Thread.currentThread().getName()+"主线程请求异步执行asyncUpdateOrders结束");
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);
return "false";
}
return "true";
}
执行结果：
2020-06-23 15:18:59.363 [] [http-nio-8080-exec-1] INFO o.s.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet :Completed initialization in 10 ms 2020-06-23 15:18:59.396 [] [http-nio-8080-exec-1] INFO c.y.p.w.c.OrderProcessController :http-nio-8080-exec-1主线程请求异步执行asyncUpdateOrders 2020-06-23 15:18:59.404 [] [http-nio-8080-exec-1] INFO c.y.p.w.c.OrderProcessController :http-nio-8080-exec-1主线程请求异步执行asyncUpdateOrders结束 2020-06-23 15:18:59.404 [] [async-job-thread-1] INFO c.y.p.d.s.impl.OrdersServiceImpl :async-job-thread-1异步执行
直接写@Async不指定线程池时，如果线程池配置只配了上面jobExecutor一种，则会默认使用该线程池执行，结果和上面一样，如果线程池配置配置了多个线程池，则此时不指定线程池时则会使用系统默认的SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor线程执行，结果如下：

and none is named 'taskExecutor'. Mark one of them as primary or name it 'taskExecutor' (possibly as an alias) in order to use it for async
