J2EETM Developer's Guide
Transactions


Transaction Timeouts

For container-managed transactions, you control the transaction timeout interval by setting the value of the transaction.timeout property in the config/default.properties file. For example, you would set the timeout value to 5 seconds as follows:

transaction.timeout=5
With this setting, if the transaction has not completed within 5 seconds, the EJB container manager rolls it back.

When J2EE is first installed, the timeout value is set to 0:

transaction.timeout=0
If the value is 0, the transaction will not time out.

Only enterprise beans with container-managed transactions are affected by the transaction.timeout property. For enterprise beans with bean-managed, JTA transactions, you invoke the setTransactionTimeout method of the UserTransaction interface.
