How to dispach task off the event thread onto a separate thread pool?

[Mathieu Yargeau]

My plugin is now catching the event listener onBuildStatusSet to search for a pull request corresponding to the commit that was just updated (for the build status) and adds a comment in that pull request.

However, it seems to cause issues. After a while, I have errors mentioning RejectedExecutionException.

I searched and found this https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserverkb/rejectedexecutionexception-779171377.html?utm_medium=logScan&utm_source=STP

Seems that to not impact Bitbucket's performances, I have to dispatch my processing to a separate thread. How would I go about doing that?

public class UpdatePullRequestComments
{
    @EventListener
    public void onBuildStatusSet(BuildStatusSetEvent event)
    {
        TriggerUpdatePR(event.getCommitId(), buildStatus);
    }
}

Ideally, I would like to call `TriggerUpdatePR` on a separate thread.

EDIT:
I just found java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService

public class UpdatePullRequestComments
{
    @EventListener
    public void onBuildStatusSet(BuildStatusSetEvent event)
    {
        executorService.submit(() -> TriggerUpdatePR(event.getCommitId(), buildStatus));
    }
}

Would that do the trick or I will have the same issue?

Executorservice does the job perfectly

Great, I'll deploy that version then.
