TransactionTimeout NoOp?

[lafr]

Is the annotation org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.TransactionTimeout still a NoOp in AS 7.1.2-SNAPSHOT like written in https://community.jboss.org/message/593587 one year ago?

I have some long running SLSB methods like in the example below. This worked perfect with AS 6.1 and 4.2.x.

The method called by a timer has this annotation, but after 5 minute, the default transaction timeout, I see in my server.log

16:00:00,013 WARN  [com.arjuna.ats.arjuna#check] ARJUNA012117: TransactionReaper::check timeout for TX 0:ffffac1f1201:51ca1a78:4f671898:1f8 in state  RUN

The operation is continuing until finished and then I get an exception with a stacktrace.

Then the time retry occurs and the method is run another time with the same problems.

Luckily only one retry occurs.

Is it not working in 7.1.1?

It's certainly documented at EJB 3 Reference Guide.

[lafr]

No, does not work for me using 7.1.2.Final-SNAPSHOT.

Even not when specifying the unit, as 3600 SECONDS or 1 HOURS.

With or without TransactionTimeout does not make a difference for me.

The SLSB itself has no TransactionAttribute defined, so it should default to REQUIRED.

I answer to myself: the annotation does not work, if the annotated method is protected or private. It works, when the method is public.

Using JBossAS 6.x before it worked in both cases.

Bug or Feature? I don't know.

I'll change the signature of my methods back to public.

That annotation like other annotations is meant for business interface methods and business interface methods are expected to be public

That could be considered to be an unnecessarily harsh restriction, considering that @TransactionAttribute is permitted to be applied to timeout callback methods, which in turn are permitted to have "public, private, protected, or package level access".

Good point, I hadn't considered container invoked methods in my reply. Please file a JIRA if the annotation isn't working for container invoked methods with non-public access qualifier.
