Spring Async method not working with EndPoint

Question

My Async implementation is not working though it seems I have done everything correctly.

I am calling my asynchronous method from my EndPoint class.

Please have a look at my code below and assist me in resolving the problem.

My EndPoint class is as follows:

@Endpoint
public class EndpointDummy {

    private static final String TARGET_NAMESPACE = "http://www.abc.xyz.com/GetAcctInfo";

    @Autowired
    private DummyService service;

    @PayloadRoot(localPart = "GetAcctInfoRq", namespace = TARGET_NAMESPACE)
    public @ResponsePayload GetAcctInfoRs handleRequest(@RequestPayload GetAcctInfoRq request, MessageContext messageContext) throws JAXBException, TransformerException {

        /*****************************************************************
        * Call the handler function
        * This handler function is asynchronous
        *****************************************************************/
        service.handleRequest();

        /*****************************************************************
        * Send response back
        *****************************************************************/
        SaajSoapMessage soapResponse = (SaajSoapMessage) messageContext.getResponse();
        SoapHeader respheader = soapResponse.getSoapHeader(); 

        MsgHdrRs msgHdrRs = new MsgHdrRs();
        JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(MsgHdrRs.class);
        jaxbContext.createMarshaller().marshal(msgHdrRs, respheader.getResult());

        GetAcctInfoRs response = new GetAcctInfoRs();
        return response;
    }
}

As you can see above, my EndPoint class calls the DummyService method handleRequest.

The Dummy Service class is annonatated with @Service and method handRequest is annotated with @Async as can be seen below:

@Service
public class DummyService {

    private Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(DummyService.class);

    @Async("taskExecutorServiceImpl")
    public void handleRequest() {

        logger.info("DummyService: 1");

        try {
            Thread.sleep(20000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e1) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }

        logger.info("DummyService: 2");
    }

}

I have also defined my configuration class as below:

@Configuration
@EnableAsync
public class ThreadConfig {

    @Bean(name = "taskExecutorServiceImpl")
    public ThreadPoolTaskExecutor specificTaskExecutor() {
        ThreadPoolTaskExecutor executor = new ThreadPoolTaskExecutor();
        executor.initialize();
        return executor;
    }
}

Kindly help my in resolving the issue. I am new to Spring framework and would appreciate any help in this.

Thanks

Problem is solved and unrelated to the above code. Problem was in configuration file and not related to the code above which is correct.
