This section describes how the EJB transaction timeout of a specific EJB class can be changed.

 

What does this section cover?

WebSphere Application Server

In order for the transaction timeout to change for a specific EJB class, the EJB class along with the new transaction timeout must be specified in ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xml which is located in your custom project's directory under src/ejbModule/META-INF

 Example

<time-out>: Declares the number of seconds between method invocations after which a stateful session bean will be no longer available.Requires value attribute, a positive integer. Only applicable to stateful session beans. Attribute default: 300. 

<global-transaction>: Declares the transaction timeout (in seconds) to be used on transactions started by this specific EJB type, overriding the server setting for global transaction timeout. Attribute default: Server transaction timeout setting for transaction-time-out.

ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xml
<ejb-jar-ext>
	<session name="CUSTOMCRMProcessRentalBean">
		<global-transaction transaction-time-out="86400" />
		<time-out value="86400" />
	</session>
	...
</ejb-jar-ext>

In order for the transaction timeout to change for a specific EJB class, the EJB class along with the new transaction timeout must be specified in jboss-ejb3.xml which is located in your custom project's directory under src/ejbModule/META-INF

<jboss:ejb-jar>
	<enterprise-beans>
		<session>

        		<tx:unit>Seconds</tx:unit>
