Bean WebSphere transaction timeout using EJB timer

Question

With JBoss / Wildfly, you can use the proprietary @TransactionTimeout annotation and determine the transaction timeout for a specific Bean session.

What is the equivalent way to do this with IBM WebSphere ?

We use the EJB Timer and one of the Beans will end in an hour.

Sample code for Wildfly:

 import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.TransactionTimeout; @Stateless @TransactionTimeout(value=7200) public class TimerBean { } 

Note. Using WebSphere 8.5. Changing the global transaction time is not an option; we need to do this for a specific Bean session, or maybe an application (EAR).

Answer 1

Yes it is possible. You can set it via transaction-time-out in the ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xml user extension.

In this file, specify:

 <session name="TimerBean"> <global-transaction transaction-time-out="7200"/> </session> 

Component Transaction Timeout
For a beans enterprise that uses only container-managed transactions, it defines the transaction timeout in seconds for any new global transaction that the container starts on behalf of the bean enterprise. For transactions started on behalf of a component, Setting a component transaction timeout cancels the total default amount of the transaction waiting period that is configured in the service configuration transaction for the application server.
