StateLESS Session bean throws Could not passivate exception
Hi all,
i am quite perplexed by this situation. My config is JBOSS 3.2.1 with Java and connecting to a postgres database. all my connections work just fine and our system is in good shape except one glitch.
We are retrieving data from some external datasource. This process takes a good 20-30 minutes to come back. In all these activities we are using simple stateless session beans. one bean calls another and so on.
Since it takes such a long time to come back, i believe JBOSS will obviously destroy some of the stateless session beans or ejbRemove them. So i have code to close the connection to a db in the remove method..
however midway through those 20 minutes, i get a could not passivate exception. Here's the stack trace:
javax.ejb.EJBException: Could not passivate; failed to save state; CausedByException is:

now here's a list of my questions, firstly I don't know which passivate method of which class does this call. I can put print statements and figure that out hopefully but that's a minor issue.
here's the ejb methods of the class that contains the control when this exception is thrown...
public void ejbCreate() throws CreateException {
/** @todo Complete this method */
Context ctx;
try {
ctx = new InitialContext();
mCCEDataSource = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:/CCEDS");
mNCBIProxy = new SeqHound(
"C:\\jboss-3.2.1\\server\\default\\deploy\\.shoundremrc");
mNCBIProxy.SHoundInit(true, "CCE");
System.out.println("ejbCreate looked up CCEDS successfully");
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new CreateException();
}
}
public void ejbRemove() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
try {
if (mCCEDataSourceConnection != null) {
mCCEDataSourceConnection.close();
}
mNCBIProxy.SHoundFini();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Mind you this is a stateless session bean, (saw it in the ejb jar file). I don't know what else to post. I need some help debugging this and finding out what the exact problem is.
Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks
