[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBAS-3321) Support for "method-attributes" including "transaction-timeout" for MDBs

Support for "method-attributes" including "transaction-timeout" for MDBs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBAS-3321 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3321 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: EJB2 Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.4.GA Reporter: Galder Zamarreno Assigned To: Weston Price Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.0.CR1 Looking at jboss_4_0.dtd it seems that MDBs in JBoss do not support the use of "method-attributes", particularly "transaction-timeout", why is this? I have looked in to this a little and it doesn't seem to be prohibited by the J2EE specs, in fact Weblogic seems to support the setting of transaction timeouts on MDBs, so why not JBoss? I guess it is either an error or a deliberate design decision not to support it, if it's the latter I would be interested to hear what the rational is?

There is no reason why the ServerSessionPool cannot ask the EJB container for this information. _________________ Adrian Brock Chief Scientist JBoss, Inc.
