Stateful Session Bean Timeout

perisb Mar 25, 2002 10:41 AM

I've a servlet application that requires user login. Upon login, several stateful Sessions are instantiated, to be used when serving subsequent request by the user. It appears that after a certain amount of idle time the EJB container expires these Sessions. Unfortunately, the user's HTTP session has NOT yet expired, and an error is returned.

This seems to be a default behavior. Is it possible to configure JBoss(2.3.4), or a container it deploys to set, or perhaps eliminate this timeout? I can't find the answer, after having scoured the docs and this forum.

You can configure the bean lifetime in standardjboss.xml.
Look for configuration-name Standard Stateful SessionBean
<container-cache-conf>
<max-bean-age> after this time (in seconds) jboss passivates the bean
<max-bean-life> after this time (in seconds) jboss removes the bean

You can find further description in the online doc:
