TransactionTimeout(19327352) max. Is this a constant?

bsgcic Feb 24, 2010 7:08 AM

I am using the interactive debugger in Eclipse and wanted to know what the maximum possible timeout for @TransactionTimeout() was. I could not find it in the docs or googling and thus did a series of tests. Based on the tests, the max for @TransactionTimeout() appears to be 19327352.

Is this max setting a constant or is the maximum value based on characteristics of my project?

If it is a constant, then it would appear that there is a bug with the identification of errors in jboss tools for Eclipse. In Eclipse, it is highlighted as an error if a value of greater than the largest value for int (i.e. 2147483647) is set for @TransactionTimeout().

Either the maximum should be changed to 2147483647 or the error highlighting in Eclipse should start from 19327353.

Thoughts, Comments?

Regards,

Jeff

Isn't this a JBoss annotation and not Seam?

It looks like it. I was not sure based on some other posts about it in the forums. Thank you for directing me in that direction.

I saw a couple posts indicating manipulation of transaction timeouts also via:

Transaction.instance().setTransactionTimeout(...)

as directed in Gavin King's post though there appear that there may be some issues with how to use it correctly: Link 1 Link 2

Yeah I believe you can't use Transaction.instance().setTransactionTimeout for container managed transactions.
If you had a non-ejb Seam component you probably could.
