Sorry to be resurrecting a very old issue, but we are encountering this same problem with 3.2.7. We have a long running process. This used to work fine, but I guess the execution time has grown as our database has grown. I see the job starting at 21:28:31, then getting this "Interrupted while requesting permit!" at 21:38:32. So I suppose some timeout is happening at 10 minutes = 600 seconds. I'm not really following the discussion here or in the bug report. Is this happening because the job overlaps the 30-minute database connection timeout, and hence the connection is getting yanked out from underneath it? I would think not, because that should produce some error reflecting loss of connection. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3960820#...
