[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-3448) New threads launched from an EJB do not run as the same Subject as the launching thread

David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-3448:
----------------------------------------

EJB's are supposed to be prohibited from starting new threads.  The work manager spec proposed for javaee 6 apparently does specify the behavior you want for use of the executor.

> New threads launched from an EJB context do not run as the same Subject as the thread that launched it.  This causes a failure when this new thread calls an EJB with restricted method permissions.  Looks like JBoss and BEA Weblogic carry over Subjects to new threads that are launched from within an EJB.
