Can't get session timeouts and appropriate @PreDestroy to wo

[jlessner]

Hello everybody
I'm trying to deploy a Stateful SessionBean with a timeout period of only a few seconds and an appropriate invocation of a PreDestroy method when the bean is discarded. I understood from various documents that I should either change the <remover-period> and <max-bean-life> attributes in standardjboss.xml of my server installation or provide these values along with a jboss.xml in my EJB jar file. But nothing happens. I even put XML syntax errors in these files to ensure that I edited the right ones - so I'm sure I did. But I can provide what ever I want - it has no effect. I can even set a value -1 or "BLABLA" as remover-period without any complains from the server at startup resp. deploy time.
Does anybody use these features successfully and could give me a hint what the problem might be? I'm using JBoss 4.0.5 GA with EJB 3 support.

Regards,
Jan

Ok, sorry. I just discovered from older messages in this forum that standardjboss.xml and jboss.xml are ignored for EJB 3. I also found advices to manipulate ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml or use the @CacheConfig annotation for my EJB. But all I could achieve with that was a passivation not a destruction of the bean.
So I still have no idea.

Destruction of a (passivated) SFSB on timeout is not implemented.

Yes, I know the weekness of the specification in this point very well. But I'm not talking about *passivated* SFSBs but *active* ones. Does JBoss have something in store for these?

Hi there,
I've a similar problem:
In my application I'd like to automatically log out crashed or inactive clients by using a timeout for the session bean.
Does anybody have a solution?

Thanks in advance!
