We are using Jboss 4.2.1.GA and Java 1.5. There are no other exceptions in the logs. Just this same error over and over. This method is running a select against the DB. It takes about .15 seconds to complete. I'm checking the the transaction timeout value with the sys admin. I do not have a transaction attribute on the moethod. Late last night I began to suspect this might be the problem. I do not need transctions for this method. It's a select. Do you have any examples of how to set the transaction attribute? Can I do it using annotations? Thanks in advance for your help. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4158139#...
