title: Custom Thread on Weblogic Server 11g
body: <p>I need a custom threda on my weblogic server; I cannot use TimerEJB or Delayed MDB since I have to use a 3d library.</p>
  
  <p><strong>I know that custom threads on application server are discouraged</strong>; here a related post (4 years old): <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/533783/why-spawning-threads-in-java-ee-container-is-discouraged">Why is spawning threads in Java EE container discouraged?</a></p>
  
  <p>Is it still discouraged? Can I use <code>ExecutorService</code> or Quartz? Or I have to consider only commonj and worker manager?</p>
