What happened to jbossts-properties.xml in JBoss AS 6.0.0.M3

[heyyou]

Hello,

Before I get to the real question ..

Its had to tell ( have to admit ..its a struggle to sort through the documentation and discussion forums to filter out discussions by release ).

Is 6.0.0.M3 ( community version ) in a beta state or is it "community GA" ?  I understand that the EAP version may not

be available for a few more months, that's the "supported GA" version, what state is the 6.0.0.M3 ?

To the real question ..

In JBoss AS 6.0.0.0M3, where did the jbossts-properties.xml file go ?

Its nolonger in the JBOSSHOME/server/*/conf directories.

I don't find it in the distribution, so was it combined with another configuration file or was it completely removed ?

If it was removed,why and where is it documented ?

I needed it to change time values for several com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.recovery.* parameters.

I took my jbossts-properties.xml that has been working for 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.1.0 and placed in my server/*/conf directory.

That didn't work out so well.  It reported :

      [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Instantiated: ... unable to load properties from file c:\jboss-as\server\default\jbossts-properties.xml

        at

            com.arjuna.com.internal.util.propertyservice.BeanPopulator.getSingletonInstance ...

            ..

It generated this stack server times, then went to the :

    Failed to load profile: Summary of incomplete deployments

    DEPLOYMENTS MISSING DEPENCIES:

    { pages full }

Any insight on where these parameters would need to be configured in this release ?

Thank you

hi you ; )

com.arjuna.* properties should be in deploy/transaction-jboss-beans.xml.

for com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.recovery.* have a look at RecoveryEnvironmentBean.

Thanks for the response Robert.

The differences between the files are considerable.

Any guidance on where the following would be place and the format/syntax :

<property name="com.arjuna.common.util.logging.FacilityLevel" type="System" value="0xffffffff"/>

        <property name="com.arjuna.common.util.logging.VisibilityLevel" type="System" value="0xffffffff"/>

<property name="com.arjuna.ats.jta.recovery.XAResourceRecovery1"  value="com.arjuna.ats.internal.jbossatx.jta.AppServerJDBCXARecovery;jndiname=MYJDBCXASOURCE"/>

<property name="com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.recovery.periodicRecoveryPeriod" value="15"/>

<property name="com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.recovery.recoveryBackoffPeriod" value="5"/>

<property name="com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.recovery.expiryScanInterval" value="12"/>

<property name="com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.recovery.transactionStatusManagerExpiryTime" value="12"/>

<property name="com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.recovery.transactionStatusManagerExpiryTime" value="12"/>

Also, do you know if this is documented any where for the 6.0 release ?

Thanks again,

orry, but i did not see any documentation for transaction-jboss-beans.xml or com.arjuna.* mbeans.

nevertheless i guess that these mbeans are just scanned by PropertyConfigurator.

that means, you have to put all your com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.recovery.* properties under com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.common.RecoveryEnvironmentBean mbean:

{code:xml}<deployment ...
  ...
  <bean class="com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.common.RecoveryEnvironmentBean"
        name="RecoveryEnvironmentBean">
    ...
    <property name="periodicRecoveryPeriod">15</property>
    <property name="recoveryBackoffPeriod">5</property>
    <property name="expiryScanInterval">12</property>
    <property name="transactionStatusManagerExpiryTime">12</property>
    ...
  </bean>
  ...
</deployment>{code:xml}

have a look at com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.common.RecoveryEnvironmentBean to find out some more properties to set.

com.arjuna.ats.jta.recovery.XAResourceRecovery1 seems to be configured by JTAEnvironmentBean:

{code:xml}<deployment ...
  ...
  <bean class="com.arjuna.ats.jta.common.JTAEnvironmentBean"
        name="JTAEnvironmentBean">
    ...
    <property name="xaRecoveryNodes" preinstantiate="false">
      <list elementClass="java.lang.String">
        <value>1</value>
        ...
      </list>
    </property>
    ...
  </bean>
  ...
</deployment>{code:xml}

<value>com.arjuna.ats.internal.jbossatx.jta.AppServerJDBCXARecovery;jndiname=MYJDBCXASOURCE</value> should do it for you...?

in the same way com.arjuna.common.util.logging.* properties should belong to LoggingEnvironmentBean:

{code:xml}<deployment ...
  ...
  <bean class="com.arjuna.common.internal.util.logging.LoggingEnvironmentBean"
        name="LoggingEnvironmentBean">
    ...
    <property name="facilityLevel">0xffffffff</property>
    <property name="visibilityLevel">0xffffffff</property>
    ...
  </bean>
  ...
</deployment>{code:xml}
