JEE web app: Does HttpSessionListener execute on the same thread as the code that calls invalidate

Question

I have implemented HttpSessionListener and implemeted sessiondDestroyed() method.

From another controller class, I call httpSession.invalidate().

I notice that the same web thread that is running the controller class executes the sessionDestroyed() also. I expected that the container calls HttpSessionListener implementations in a different thread.

Or, is there a way of calling session.invalidate() such that this thread won't be blocked or slowed down by the sessionDestroyed() method
