The other thing I notice is that you are starting a background
thread.... AFAIK you should not really be starting threads in a
container.... (yes, I know everyone, myself included, does it)
If I remember correctly, background threads are supposed to be started
within a JCA resource adapter as it is the only thing that is given a
WorkManager by the container.
Man I hope they fix this for JavaEE 6.... I don't see why WorkManagers
are restricted to JCA adapters... and the fact that it is a separate
instance and not an ExecutorService... sure that's just wrong!
