How to clean EJB instance left overs?

[setya]

Hi all,

I need to clean orphaned EJB instance on the server caused by client application quiting unexpectedly due to errors.

Is it possible to do this without restarting JBoss ?
Is it possible to reconnect to the orphaned EJB instance ?

I assume you mean stateful session bean.

The container will eventually time out the session and move it onto the disk. It will be eventually cleaned from the disk also. This is part of your <container-configuration> either in standardjboss.xml or jboss.xml.

You can store a handle to it on the client.

Yes, indeed.

So, I don't have to worry about orphaned EJB instance eating up server memory because it will be cleaned by container automatically?

How to do this ?

The sessions are first passivated to disk (default 10 mins)
then removed (default 30 mins) when they are not used.

To get the handle
javax.ejb.EJBObject.getHandle()
