This is such a basic server-side threading construct, the difficulty in implementing in EJB shows the immaturity of the standard (IMHO).

In the meantime, if you don't mind doing something JBoss-specific, you could look at asynchronous proxies: http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/tutorial/asynch/asynch.html Another JBoss extension, Service POJOs, might also help do the trick: http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/tutorial/service/service.html I think for what you are trying to do, you want a "worker" SFSB that implements the long-running job. It will keep state internally, but it exposes getter methods that allow clients to peek into the state. Then, you call it via another "facade" SFSB via an asynchronous proxy. At least this way you protect the end-client from calling JBoss specific code.
