In JBoss 5.1 I was able to have an ejb-jar.xml that referenced a system property for setting the maxSessions for an MDB. But in JBoss AS 7, if I use a variable the setting is not applied.
This is a problem as the ejb-jar.xml is compiled into the ear file, and I need to be able to set this value as runtime. Is there a way to set the maxsessions for an MDB in jboss as 7 at run time?
e.g. working config in jboss 5.1:
<ejb-jar xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd"
version="3.0">
