+== `WebAsyncTask`
+
+`WebAsyncTask` is a holder/wrapper for a `java.util.concurrent.Callable` that allows you to set a custom asynchronous request timeout value and a custom `AsyncTaskExecutor` for executing the `java.util.concurrent.Callable` if you want to use a different `AsyncTaskExecutor` than the default one used by Spring MVC. Below is an example of using `WebAsyncTask`:
