thanks for the direction, i have read the above link. can i use StrictMaxPool instead of MaxSize in ejb-interseptor-aop.xml like below? to achieve multiple SLSB instances when a Single Threaded (Singleton) EJB invokes calls in to process long running tasks ?
<annotation expr="class(*) AND !class(@org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Pool)">
@org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Pool (value="ThreadlocalPool", StrictMaxPool=30, timeout=10000)
</annotation>
