EJB.THREAD

Avoid starting, stopping, or managing threads in any way

Description

This rule flags code that calls a thread method from an EJB class.

Starting, stopping, or managing threads usage restriction eliminates the possibility of conflicts with the EJB container's responsibility of managing locking, threading, and concurrency issues.
