EJB timer service should use a thread pool to avoid OOM ------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJBTHREE-1330 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1330 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Bug Components: pool Affects Versions: AS 4.2.2.GA Reporter: Galder Zamarreno Assigned To: Galder Zamarreno Priority: Minor The default EJB timer service used by the EJB3 layer is based on org.jboss.ejb3.timerservice.jboss.JBossTimerServiceFactory which delegates to the standard org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.EJBTimerService. For EJB3 beans using the EJB timer service the thread local pool should not be used. Since the current EJB timer service creates a new thread for each timer being created, the thread local pool will create a matching instance of the bean for that thread. Thus the number of active instances in total can effectively grow unchecked and thus an OOM will occur. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
