Imagine if people with a driver license were allows to fly helicopters.
I would advise against that. At the same time, I would like, someday, to
have a license to fly helicopters, even if it's just for fun.
My whole argument is that if you want to fly a helicopter, you need a
license. If you want to use threads, EJB has to come up with an API.
When EJB says don't use thread it doesn't say threads are by themselves
bad, it just says, here is a model that does not address threads and
might break (in a vendor dependent manner, BTW) when threads are used.
The way to overcome that is for EJB to add thread support in a well
defined manner, plus the necessary APIs, so your threads will work the
same way whatever server you use.
And I totally support any recommendation to add threading support to
EJB, possibly through a ThreadBean or similar mechanism.
