Setting timeout for EJB3 session beans

[hubaer]

Hi all,

I am a little bit confused about setting timeout for EJB3 session beans. I searched all the web and the jboss forums, but get no answers.

I tried to configure the timeout in the standardjboss.xml with no effect. A setting of the parameter <remover-period>, <max-bean-life>, <overager-period> and <max-bean-age> in diverse container configuration to lower values seemed to be ignored.
I didn't find a configuration file for EJB3 to set this values.

I noticed the a "job" passivate all 10 minutes my inacitve SFSB.

Therefore my questions:
Does EJB3-SFSB uses the standardjboss.xml configuration?
Is their a special configuration file for EJB3 and where is it?
How can I specify the timeout for a SFSB?

Thanks in advance for your answers,
Marco

There is a Timeout annotation you can add for one specific ejb3.

You can also set a glocal properties in ejb3.deployer/META-INF/jboss-service.xml (I don't remember the syntax but it was somewhere in old thread of this forum)

Thank you jc7442 for your reply.

I looked also on the ejb3.deployer/META-INF/jboss-service.xml but I found no hint, how to configure this.

I seached the forum for you hint about the configuration values. All I found was the follow posting:
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=82861.

Is this the posting you mean?
But I'm not sure how to set this values. Is there a documentation. Is there a wiki page about this values? I didn't find one.

Regards
Marco

You can change the timeout in
$JBOSS_HOME\server\default\conf\standardjboss.xml

Look for

<container-configuration>
<container-name>Standard Stateful SessionBean</container-name>
...
<container-cache-conf> <cache-policy>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.LRUStatefulContextCachePolicy</cache-policy>
<cache-policy-conf>
<min-capacity>50</min-capacity>
<max-capacity>1000000</max-capacity>
<remover-period>1800</remover-period>
<max-bean-life>1800</max-bean-life>
<overager-period>300</overager-period>
<max-bean-age>600</max-bean-age>
<resizer-period>400</resizer-period>
<max-cache-miss-period>60</max-cache-miss-period>
<min-cache-miss-period>1</min-cache-miss-period>
<cache-load-factor>0.75</cache-load-factor>
</cache-policy-conf>
</container-cache-conf>

Set the max-bean-age.

Hope this helps.

standardjboss.xml is ignored by EJB3 beans.

Please try:

@CacheConfig(idleTimeoutSeconds=300)

Thanks you wolfc.

I will try this.

But is there another way to configure the timeout not using annotations? I found the solution for EJB3 to override the configuration from the standardjboss.xml in my local jboss.xml a good solution. If I use annotition I'll have to make all changes in all classes and not in one configuration file.

jc7442 mentioned that there should be way to do this in the ejb3.deployer/META-INF/jboss-service.xml, but it seams that no one knows how to do this !?

Sorry folk, I made a mistake. I meant EJB2 not 3.

So the correct comment is:
I found the solution for EJB2 to override the configuration from the standardjboss.xml in my local jboss.xml a good solution. If I use annotition I'll have to make all changes in all classes and not in one configuration file.

To have the thread complete: for EJB3 you can modify ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml.
