I have a JBoss 4.2.2 install on Redhat Linux (RHEL4). I am seeing that the configuration properties (specifically the container-configuration like MaximumSize, strictMaximumSize) are not getting enforced. So basically, I am not able to configure my Stateless Session Bean Container to create upto a certain number of beans. There was another user who was stumbling across the same issue but she had not got any response. After going through the JBoss EJB container source, I see that the class should through an exception if standardjboss.xml is not found. But I don't see that happening (even after deleting the file - I see no errors). Is there anything I am missing? I need to set the container pool size across the board for a specific type of container. I cannot use jboss.xml on a per application basis. Config: all Version: 4.2.2 Platform: Linux Thanks, Shreyas View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4174426#...
