I think you misunderstood, or maybe I did, but I thought the question became:
can a client calling an EJB
be running in a thread?

I can't see any reason the server would even be aware that the calling process
is running in a thread
separate from the main thread of a client application (in a different VM). Or
that the multiple clients
hitting it are all spawned from the same process. However, my experience is
limited to weblogic and
I don't have the spec handy.

Any insight is always appreciated,
