Since the new JobExecutor modifications, it's more difficult to override methods to integrate spring's transaction manager.

See (http://community.jboss.org/nfm/redirectToCSForum.jspa?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4250508#4250508)

At the moment, the custom parent classes must be in the same package, that's ugly ...

That can be more elegant if methods bellow have a protected visibility:

startLockMonitorThread
getLockMonitorThreadName
createThread
