Thx for the explanation.
What is the part of the specification that is saying that
onDataAvailbale must be consumed synchronously?
Is it the last sentence "The Servlet container must access methods in
ReadListener in a thread safe manner." from:

"The ReadListener provides the following callback methods for non blocking IO -
■ ReadListener
■ onDataAvailable() . The onDataAvailable method is invoked on the
ReadListener when data is available to read from the incoming request
stream. The container will invoke the method the first time when data is
available to read. The container will subsequently invoke the onDataAvailable
method if and only if isReady method on ServletInputStream , described
below, returns false .
■ onAllDataRead() . The onAllDataRead method is invoked when you have
finished reading all the data for the ServletRequest for which the listener was
registered.
■ onError(Throwable t) . The onError method is invoked if there is any error or
exception that occurs while processing the request.
The Servlet container must access methods in ReadListener in a thread
safe manner."

It means we cannot write real asynchronous reactive applications with
servlet 3.1... disappointing.
