@CacheConfig, idleTimeout doesn't work

[mikes74]

Hi all,

can anybody help me with the following issue: I'm using JBoss 5.1GA and noticed that a SFSB is always destroyed after 60 seconds.

A DEBUG trace in org.jboss.ejb3 reveals

2011-03-25 10:15:42,734 DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb3.cache.simple.SimpleStatefulCache.CountBean] (HDScanner) Initializing SimpleStatefulCache with maxSize: 4 timeout: 60 for jboss.j2ee:jar=NameOfJar.jar,name=NameOfBean,service=EJB3

that exactly 60 seconds timeout is used but I don't know why ?

My SFSB is annotated like this

@CacheConfig(maxSize = 4, idleTimeoutSeconds = 3600)

I seems to me that this annotation works correct by using 4 for "maxSize" but ignored "idleTimeoutSeconds" completely ...

No idea, I googled around about a few hours with no result ... :-(

I found a thread here http://community.jboss.org/message/477777. A similar problem is mentioned ...

What's the full package name of the @CacheConfig that you are using? It should be @org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.CacheConfig.

Thanks for beeing so fast, so it is -> full name is "org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.CacheConfig"

Try changing this:

@CacheConfig(maxSize = 4, idleTimeoutSeconds = 3600)

to

@CacheConfig(maxSize = 4, idleTimeoutSeconds = 60)

and tells us what you see in the logs. I am suspecting a bug here.

Sorry Jaikiran for wasting your time, I solved the problem myself and found in a JAR a plain old XML jboss.xml:

<session>

     <ejb-name>NameOfBean</ejb-name>

     <cache-config>

       <idle-timeout-seconds>60</idle-timeout-seconds>

       <remove-timeout-seconds>30</remove-timeout-seconds>

     </cache-config>

   </session>

This overrides my annotation and I'm happy :-)
