To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/717292#717292 -------------------------------------------------------------- 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 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"           xsi:schemaLocation=" http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd"           version="3.0">           <description>Deployment descriptor</description>           <enterprise-beans>                     <message-driven>                               <ejb-name>WorkerMdb</ejb-name>                               <messaging-type>javax.jms.MessageListener</messaging-type>                               <message-destination-type>javax.jms.Queue</message-destination-type>                               <activation-config>                                         <activation-config-property>                                                   <activation-config-property-name>maxSession</activation-config-property-name>                                                   <activation-config-property-value>*${worker.threads:8}*</activation-config-property-value>                                         </activation-config-property>                               </activation-config>                     </message-driven>           </enterprise-beans> </ejb-jar> -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/717292#717292] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
