Thanks you wolfc. I will try this. But is there another way to configure the timeout not using annotations? I found the solution for EJB3 to override the configuration from the standardjboss.xml in my local jboss.xml a good solution. If I use annotition I'll have to make all changes in all classes and not in one configuration file. jc7442 mentioned that there should be way to do this in the ejb3.deployer/META-INF/jboss-service.xml, but it seams that no one knows how to do this !?
