To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/567865#567865 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I have a similar problem. I use a stateful session bean with a removalTimeoutSeconds = 60 (for testing), but after the timeout the method annotated with @Remove is not executed. Only the method annotated with @PreDestroy is called. In the heap dump I can still see the session bean object in memory. I want to use the removalTimeout for such sessions which terminate abnormal. If the client terminates normal, it calls the method annotated with @Remove and then the method annotated with @PreDestroy. In this scenario the session bean object is not present in the memory anymore. I use the application server jboss 4.2.3_GA. Kind regards Michael -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/567865#567865] Start a new discussion in EJB 3.0 at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
