Dear forum, I think that I can almost answer my own question. Looks like removal support was added with EJBTHREE-904 with removalTimeout on the @CacheConfig annotation. Looks like its only available in 4.2.0.GA ;-). Another question that I have is : Is it possible to know via the JMX console which container your SFSBeans have been deployed into and what the parameters of that container are ?
