JBoss client creates many remoting threads

Environment

• JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.x

Issue

• Our JBoss EJB client is creating many remoting threads like the following:
  • Remoting "config-based-ejb-client-endpoint" read-1
  • Remoting "config-based-ejb-client-endpoint" write-1
  • Remoting "config-based-ejb-client-endpoint" task-1

Resolution

• Ensure contexts are closed to close these threads. The best option would be to look up and reuse a context instead of looking up a context each time.

Root Cause

• EJB contexts are looked up but not closed, resulting in this thread growth.
