    Is it necessary to spawn new thread for each mbean?

    jikramer

      Hi -

      I just created an mbean that works fine. what we noticed though was it was running in the jboss main thread - it blocked the monitor & we could'nt shut it down. we got around this by explicitly creating a new thread in the start method of our entry class ( below ). just wondering if this is the recommended way to work, or if there is some kind of jboss mechanism which would spawn the necessary thread?

      thanks
