exception while processing @Timeout method

michalzel Jul 13, 2006 7:02 AM

Hello!

I have got method annotated by @Timeout in my @Stateless bean. Method is called once a day and performs some activites. When these are done, just before method exits, new timer event is prepared. Unfortunatelly, when EJBException (or other) is thrown during processing, timer event is not created, although It's being made in finally block.
I would like to have certainty that timer event is created though. How can this be achieved? I am using JBoss4.0.3SP1 with EJB3 RC3.

this is required by the spec. Timer events are transactional. THe process of throwing an EJBException from our @Timeout method is equivalent to a transaction rollback.

I am not sure if I understood you correctly. Does it mean that every time I create timer event in my @Timeout method, and the method fails the transaction is rolled back and so all timer events created in it?
BTW I created BEAN managed EJB and it works correctly if I rollback after exception manualy.
