It is working fine - concurrent calls to bean are blocked. But if exception occurs in bean method, the instance is discarded and new created instances seems to ignore max pool size setting. I can observer parallel execution of bean methods. It can be important that this singleton bean is called from other bean that is called with AsyncUtils.mixinAsync, so: Bean A calls bean B with AsyncUtils.mixinAsync Bean B call singleton bean C All components are stateless It is critical part of my solution, do you have some advice how to workaround this error? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/730304#730304] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
