Remote access to a pool is an anti-pattern. The serverside JMS semantics are different to client semantics anyway. Either create the pool inside the client (although for a normal java client its better to just create one connection and then create session as required - e.g. per thread) Or use an SLSB to give remote access, there's an old example of such an EJB on the WIKI.
