No, the EJB 2.0 Spec doesn't permit it. Section 24.1.2 (page 495) states: <quote> The enterprise bean must not attempt to manage threads. The enterprise bean must not attempt to start, stop, suspend, or resume a thread; or to change a thread's priority or name. The enterprise bean must not attempt to manage thread groups.
These functions are reserved for the EJB Container. Allowing the enterprise bean to manage threads would decrease the Container's ability to properly manage the runtime environment. </quote> Regards, Al. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Alex Sumner > Sent: 27 March 2003 20:15 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [JBoss-user] Starting threads from session beans > > > Hi, > > Briefly: is it permissible to start a new thread from a > thread running in a session bean? > > I've heard that it isn't allowed, but can't see this > explicitly prohibited in the J2EE specs.
