I simply don't see the problem in the JMS/JCA adapter allowing for this. anonymous wrote : | It is a property of the MDB container which is represented in JCA land | by the message endpoint factory (MEF). | Again, why? There is simply nothing in the JCA spec to suggest this. anonymous wrote : | What is required is a JBoss specific interface that the MEF implements | that allows you to retrieve the transaction timeout for a method, | i.e. similar to the isDeliveryTransacted(Method) | So, instead of using the ActivationSpec, you use the MEF. The property is the same, you are just getting it from somewhere else. We have plenty of JBoss specific properties in our ActivationSpec, I see no need to subclass the MEF to simply pass as integer.
