i did look at the link that he provided. Carlo's suggested to change the pool impl to StrictMaxPool and i gave 7. insteadof using ThreadLocalPool. no luck. may be i did not configure correctly? below snippet is what i modified in ejb3-interseptors-aop.xml for stateless bean domain node..
isn;t this what i needed to modify based on his comments?
<annotation expr="class(*) AND !class(@org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Pool)">
@org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Pool (value="StrictMaxPool", maxSize=7, timeout=10000)
</annotation>
