Per-bean and per-method transaction timeouts

[ctrawick]

Gentoo-x86 1.4 (Linux 2.4)
Blackdown JDK 1.4.1-01
JBoss 3.2.1 (Jetty)
XDoclet 1.2b3
Maven 1.0b10

Is there a way to specify a per-bean or per-method transaction timeout in the above configuration? If not, has anyone achieved something similar?

For example:

LoadMDB performs asynchronous atomic database loads. These might take a while (5 mins to 1 hour).

LoadStatusSession reads load status records. If any call to this bean takes longer than 10 secs, it should die and free up any resources and locks.

The TransactionTimeout attribute in transaction-service.xml appears to affect transaction timouts globally. Is there a way to have a separate timeout for each bean?

Thanks in advance

Transaction timeout is always global.

That's what I was afraid of. So if I'm hearing you right, the only way to even approach the desired behavior is to dump CMT entirely.

Ugh... time to see XDoclet do tricks.

Or does the global transaction timeout also affect UserTransaction?

Yes it does.

UserTransaction.setTransactionTimeout should work.
