It is the deploy/ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml default annotation that is causing the problem. It should be replaced with @org.jboss.annotation.ejb.Pool("..."), however, I don't see a DefaultPool type of entry in the ejb3.deployer/META-INF/ejb3-deployers-beans.xml EJB3PoolFactoryRegistry that can be used. I'll set it to StrictMaxPoolFactory for now. | <!-- EJB3 Pool Factory Registry --> | <bean name="EJB3PoolFactoryRegistry" class="org.jboss.ejb3.pool.PoolFactoryRegistry"> | <property name="factories"> | <!-- Define each of the registered factories --> | <map class="java.util.HashMap" keyClass="java.lang.String" | valueClass="java.lang.Class"> | <!-- ThreadlocalPool --> | <entry> | <key>ThreadlocalPool</key> | <value>org.jboss.ejb3.pool.ThreadlocalPoolFactory</value> | </entry> | <!-- StrictMaxPool --> | <entry> | <key>StrictMaxPool</key> | <value>org.jboss.ejb3.pool.StrictMaxPoolFactory</value> | </entry> | </map> | </property> | </bean> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4108216#...
