The problem I'm having is that the task takes longer than 5 minutes to run, which is the default transaction timeout. Rather than change the default value or define a custom value on the SSB, I'm trying to wire things up so each SSB call uses it's own transaction. My current design looks like: MBean   invoke Task [SSB with @TransactionAttribute(NEVER)]           invoke Search [SSB with @TransactionAttribute(REQUIRED)], look up entities to operate on           for each entity             invoke Operation [SSB with @TransactionAttribute(REQUIRED)], perform operation My expectation is that Task does not have a transaction. The Search transaction will commit when all entities are found. A new transaction will run and commit for each invocation on Operation. However, what occurs is that all operations rollback after 5 minutes. Can anyone explain the correct way to do this? Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/560919#560919] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
