Decrease Stateless session EJB instances

[rolo05]

Hi all,

Due to a peak of concurrent invocations, the server starts many instances of my EJB's. At this point, everything id OK, but when invocations goe to a normal state, the server does not decrease this number of instances, and in my case, this is a problem becasue each EJB makes a connection with an external system so I'm occupying a lot of connections innecessarily. Does anybody know how to force the server to do this?

With this type of EJB (Stateless session), I have only the possibility to set a Minimum, a Maximum, the strict, of the pool but not a period of time or whatever to destroy the unused instances (Once they are not used)

Than you

Rolo

Any one could help with this matter?

My jboss.xml inlcudes the following:

<container-configurations>
<container-configuration extends="Standard Stateless SessionBean">
<container-name>Pool Limited Stateless SessionBean</container-name>
<!-- Override the container pool configuration -->
<container-pool-conf>
1
2
true
0
</container-pool-conf>
</container-configuration>
</container-configurations>

but nothing about how to force the destroy of the instance when is no longer used.

Thanks

Aitor
