EJB container settings

 

To configure and manage a specific EJB container...

Console | Servers | Application Servers | serverName | EJB Container

 

Configuration tab

Passivation directory	Specifies the directory into which the container saves the persistent state of passivated stateful session beans. Beans are passivated when the number of active bean instances becomes greater than the cache size specified in the container configuration. When a stateful bean is passivated, the container serializes the bean instance to a file in the passivation directory and discards the instance from the bean cache. If, at a later time, a request arrives for the passivated bean instance, the container retrieves it from the passivation directory, deserializes it, returns it to the cache, and dispatches the request to it. If any step fails (for example, if the bean instance is no longer in the passivation directory), the method invocation fails.
Inactive pool cleanup interval	Specifies the interval at which the container examines the pools of available bean instances to determine if some instances can be deleted to reduce memory usage. Data type Integer Units Milliseconds Range 0 to 2 147 483 674
Default datasource JNDI name	Specifies the JNDI name of a data source to use if no data source is specified during application deployment. This setting is not applicable for EJB 2.x-compliant CMP beans. Servlets and enterprise beans use data sources to obtain these connections. When configuring a container, you can specify a default data source for the container. This data source becomes the default data source used by any entity beans installed in the container that use container-managed persistence (CMP). The default data source for a container is secure. When specifying it, provide a user ID and password for accessing the data source. Specifying a default data source is optional if each CMP entity bean in the container has a data source specified in its configuration. If a default data source is not specified and a CMP entity bean is installed in the container without specifying a data source for that bean, applications cannot use that CMP entity bean.
Initial state	Specifies the execution state requested when the server first starts. Data type String Default Started Range Valid values are Started and Stopped
