Alex, It is not permissible. It is not in the j2ee spec; it is in the ejb spec.
ejb-2_0-fr2-spec.pdf: 24.1.2 Programming restrictions, page 495: "The enterprise bean must not attempt to manage threads. The enterprise bean must not attempt to start, stop, suspend, or resume a thread; or to change a thread's priority or name. The enterprise bean must not attempt to manage thread groups. - These functions are reserved for the EJB Container. Allowing the enterprise bean to manage threads would decrease the Container s ability to properly manage the runtime environment." Someone else who knows more than me can answer your last question, but I'll guess you're right - the tx (and probably security) information is probably related at the thread level. A possible implementation is the java.lang.ThreadLocal class.
