Transation Timeout with lon running container managed transaction (1 hour +)

[BenLeino]

Hi,

I have a serious problem with a container managed transaction, that runs over an hour. Everything works finde but in the end, when all operations have finished, I get a transaction timeout exception.

Log looks like:
"The transaction has been rolled back rather than commited: Transaction timeout"

How can I increase the timeout for container managed transaction? Is there are a way to do it on a method-base (annotations, or code within the method itsself) or is there a way to do it gloabally?

Thanks a lot,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Which version of Geronimo?

The default transaction timeout is 600 seconds.

To globally override the default, assuming Geronimo 2.1.1:

Stop your server.

Edit var/config/config.xml

Locate the following element:

     <module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/transaction/2.1.1/car">

And add the following TransactionManager GBean attribute override:

         <gbean name="TransactionManager">
             <attribute name="defaultTransactionTimeoutSeconds">3600</
attribute>
         </gbean>

That should give you a default of 1 hour.

Offhand, don't recall how to (if you can) override on a container/bean/
method basis...
