Hi Seeglow,

EJB applications are not permitted to directly use the threading APIs. The reason is that such
use conflicts with the ejb container. One portable way to achieve asynchrony in Java EE 5 is to use the JMS API.

In EJB 3.1, we'll be adding new functionality to allow asynchronous session bean invocations.
