Too many channels open / No EJB receiver available for handling

[eminil]

We are using 7.1.1.Final

We are fetching EJB's using JNDI calls.

For each call we create a new InitialContext and call lookup on it to get the remote interface to the EJB.

After 40 calls, we start getting "Too many channels open" and everything stops working.

If we save our remote interface to the EJB in a variable and call several methods on it, it doesnt work either. It simply says "No EJB receiver available for handling"

What are we doing wrong here?

I read there was a bug here:

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/REM3-144

Is that something we should be concerned about?

Also this one:

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3884

Seems to be related, but it says it should be fixed in 7.1.1, but it is not?

Thank you for any help you can give us!

Exactly same issue we got. We use a WAR application in tomcat, each request is creating a static IntialContext object and the next request is closing the previous one of it and creating a new one.

same thing- "too many channels open".

I had exactly the same problem.

The solution I adopted was to make use of context.close().

See this post below.

How to close remote ejb/jndi connections

it is a bug in your client code, there ware many threads on this subject on this forum

you should be closing initial context for example.

It depends on your client side code (which approach you use)

You should read the documentation EJB invocations from a remote client using JNDI (wildFly is ok for this and contain the latest informations)

If you can't get it to work you should open a new thread and provide more details about your client approach
