title: Playframework with thread-pool for background job
body: <p>In my playframework application (I'm very new to play) I want to be able to handle events rising from the domain model that will be published to an AMQP exchange. I think this could be a multi-threaded background event handler that handles the events and handles the connections to the message broker. I have had had a look at the Jobs class but can't see a way to specify any kind of thread pool. Does anyone have any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Best,</p>
