java - Manual configuration equivalent to mvc:annotation-driven -

what equivalent manual configuration mvc:annotation-driven in spring mvc? because webapp implements requestmappinghandlermapping, cannot use mvc:annotation-driven have configure myself.

specifically i'm wondering configuration has included in order @async annotation work. not sure if atm. i'm starting background task @ startup supposed run long webapp running , seems me whole server waits (never-ending) method finish. @async-method in worker-service gets called service on @postconstruct.

here 2 classes:

@service public class moduledirectorywatcher{     @autowired     moduledirectorywatcherworker worker;      @postconstruct     public void startwatching() {         worker.startwatching();     } }  @service public class moduledirectorywatcherworker {     @async     public void startwatching() {         createplugindir();         initializeclassloader();         initializewatcher();         watch();     } } 

the relevant part of applicationcontext.xml looks far:

<bean name="handleradapter"  class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.requestmappinghandleradapter">         <property name="messageconverters">         <list>             <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.bytearrayhttpmessageconverter"</bean>             <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.stringhttpmessageconverter"></bean>             <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.resourcehttpmessageconverter"></bean>             <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.xml.sourcehttpmessageconverter"></bean>             <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.xml.xmlawareformhttpmessageconverter"></bean>             <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.xml.jaxb2rootelementhttpmessageconverter"></bean>             <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.mappingjacksonhttpmessageconverter"></bean>         </list>     </property> </bean>  <bean name="handlermapping"  class="com.coderunner.caliope.module.api.impl.modulehandlermapping"> </bean> 

now feel silly... in order work, @async , @scheduled need

<task:annotation-driven executor="myexecutor" scheduler="myscheduler" /> <task:executor id="myexecutor" pool-size="5" /> <task:scheduler id="myscheduler" pool-size="10" /> 

even if don't use

maybe helps out there
