Mark,
So far the discussion has been about the useability of thread support,
and no one contradicted their usability. I'm not sure JMS is sufficient
for what developers have in mind, and connectors would be an overkill
for many applications.
It's clear that EJB 1.1 should not support threads, nor the applications
should attempt to use them.
But what about adding that support to a future version of EJB?
If enough people request it, you will see it being supported by the
major vendors, which unless properly specified, will break the WORA
promise of EJB.
