> The default EJB timer service used by the EJB3 layer is based on 
> org.jboss.ejb3.timerservice.jboss.JBossTimerServiceFactory which delegates 
> to the standard org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.EJBTimerService. 
> For EJB3 beans using the EJB timer service the thread local pool should not be used. 
> Since the current EJB timer service creates a new thread for each timer being created, the 
> thread local pool will create a matching instance of the bean for that thread. Thus the number 
> of active instances in total can effectively grow unchecked and thus an OOM will occur.
