Chris,
After this mail, I read the EJB1.1 specification again.
It contains a section called Programming Restrictions (Section 18.1.2)
in the PDF document, page # 272 in the document.
This document does not say anything against creating processes.
If this is the case, then I think it is legal to create processes from
within an EJB.
Also, regarding doing socket programming, this is what the spec says.
"The EJB architecture allows an enterprise bean instance to be a network
socket client, but it does not allow it to be a network server. Allowing
the instance to become a network server would conflict with the basic
function of the enterprise bean-- to serve the EJB clients."
Then, it is legal for a EJB to open a socket and talk with a server.
