Did you restart the server after creating the thread-pool? You need to restart the server for this thread pool to take effect.
If you did, then how are you accessing the EJB? Is it through (a) AppClientContainer or (b) from a stand-alone java client OR (c) from another EJB?
If you are accessing it from another EJB, then because of the way our ORB optimizes the request dispatch, the EJB may not be invoked with new 'threadpool3'
Let me know.
