Chapter 8. Using JBossJTA with JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
8.1. Service Configuration
Most of the configuration for The JBoss Transaction Service is done using the XML files stored in the
etc directory. Several extra attributes can be configured when it is run as a JBOSS service, however.
- TransactionTimeout
- The default transaction timeout to be used for new transactions. An integer value, expressed in seconds.
- StatisticsEnabled
- Determines whether or not the transaction service should gather statistical information. Viable using the
PerformanceStatisticsMBean. A Boolean value, whose default isNO. - PropagateFullContext
- Determines whether a full transactional context is propagated by context importer/exporter. If set to
false, only the current transaction context is propagated. If set totrue, the full transaction context is propagated, including any parent transactions.
These attributes are specified as MBean attributes in the
jboss-service.xml file located in the server/all/conf directory, See Example 8.1, “Example jboss-services.xml” for an example.
Example 8.1. Example jboss-services.xml
<mbean code="com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.jts.TransactionManagerService" name="jboss:service=TransactionManager"> <attribute name="TransactionTimeout">300</attribute> <attribute name="StatisticsEnabled>true</attribute>> </mbean>
The transaction service can also be configured via the standard JBoss Transaction Service property files. These are located in the JBoss Transaction Service install location under the
etc directory. You can edit these files manually or through JMX. Each property file is exposed using an object whose name is derived from a combination of com.arjuna.ts.properties and the name of the module containing the attribute to be configured An example example is com.arjuna.ts.properties:module=arjuna.
