I too face error in admin console. There are other ways to verify thread pool is configured and is used by application.
1, Take thread dump using jstack or attach JConsole or VisualVM and look for your worker thread pool in the thread names listed.
2, In application log files in case log file contains thread name.
3, Set breakpoint in application code in servlet or one of spring controller and verify thread name in debugger like Eclipse, Idea.
4, To see configuration and runtime stats, use jboss cli.
