How to force te container to call a stateful sb's remove method

[ericjvandervelden]

Hello,

I have a stateful session bean deployed. I have a remove method annotated with @Remove. But I never see it called. So how do I force the container to call it, in JBoss 7 ?

Thanks,

Eric J.

The client must request the remove the SFSB, e.g. if the client is logged out.

In this case the container will call the @Remove method.

Hello Wolf-Dieter,

Thanks for your reply. But I do not understand it. Could you explain me further?

You talk about a Stateful SessionBean, in opposition to a StatelessSessionBean where the remove method is called only if the container decide to destroy the bean and not pool it, a StatefulSession is hold as long as the client does not call the remove.

The StatefulSession is connected/controlled by a single client. After a time the bean will be passivated (e.g. serialized to disk) and there is a treshold after that the bean will be destroyed by the container, in this case the remove method will be called also.

Hi Wolf-Dieter,

I have the same need as Eric, call the remove() of SFSB,  but our container was configed with <cache-policy>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.NoPassivationCachePolicy</cache-policy>, according to jboss doc, we need to remove the bean instance explicitly.

not try the user log out, is there any other way I can used to remove the SFSB ?

There should be a configurable timeout to remove such forgotten SFSB's. But this should be an exception normally the client should call the remove method.

I'm not sure where to configure this right now
